G7 ban on silicon

Another reason to avoid silicone toys made in China

In June 2021, the G7 banned all products containing silicon from a large producer that was found to be using forced labor to extract the mineral. Silicon is what silicone polymer is made from.  It is naturally difficult to image some of this cheaply minded silicon didn’t end up in the flood of silicone toys coming out of that country or at least had an effect on the cost of other mined silica there, creating an unfair advantage over US manufacturers.  You can view the full notice on the US customs and border control’s website.

2021 SquarePegToys Challenge

Hey SquarePeggers,

It’s time for a Second Annual SquarePegToys® Challenge. Originally created as a fun distraction during the lockdowns last April we quickly found it was a great way to build community in our little corner of the fetish world, and to give out some free toys too! This is a contest held entirely on Twitter.

Document your hole control skills by making a video of you shooting a SquarePeg toy out of your hole.

2 winners will be chosen each week based on one of the following criteria:

Overall Creativity, Distance, or Height.

To demonstrate distance or height, be sure to include something in your shot that can be used as reference.

Have fun with this and be safe! If you didn’t win one week you can retry again the next week with a new video.

 

Details and Rules:

  • Use one of our genuine SquarePegToys®
  • Be following @SquarePegToys on Twitter, and tag your video posting with #SquarePegToysChallenge  entries submitted by DM or from last year’s challenge do not qualify.

  • Winners will be determined for each week beginning April 19th and running through May 9th, 2021, and be notified by retweet and DM via Twitter.

Major Disruption in Package Delivery

As many of you are experiencing, the winter storms that ravaged the country beginning the week of February 11th are having a lasting effect on the movement of packages.  Many of your orders that shipped from Feb 12th and onward are stuck in a nationwide backlog.

FedEx hubs were completely shut down for days, creating backlogs everywhere.  Now that the weather has cleared, hands are needed to get packages through the system and at many hubs the crew were stuck at home for many more days either due to snow/ice in areas without snow clearing equipment or without power.

These past two weeks have been an unprecedented one, so we ask for your patience while the nationwide log jam slowly begins to break and packages can flow again!

Orders to the UK

As a part of Brexit, effective January 1, 2021 the UK government has transferred the responsibility for collecting UK VAT from themselves onto the shipper for any orders originating outside the UK that are valued under £135.  SquarePeg will not be participating in VAT collection and filing at this time and ask that you source your smaller items directly from the UK retailers Regulation London and UberKinky.  On orders valued over £135, collection will still be handled by UK as they always have been, and as such we will continue to ship orders $197US and over.

Free Shipping through 2020

Just makes all our lives a little easier after a wild year.  The Free Shipping offer extends to Hawaii and Alaska too!

Select the free ground shipping option at checkout.  The 2day Air option is not free, but we reserve the right to upgrade any order to 2day air if FedEx® quotes us a good price for it!

Additionally, SquarePegToys® cares for you in a few very unique ways:

Look at the Shop@Home™ service if you want to compare or look at some toys before committing to purchase. This is an add-on fee and there are some restrictions, full rules of the program are here

Canadians can shop as if the exchange rate was one-to-one.  All prices are still in US dollars but you get an adjustment applied at checkout that takes off about what you would lose in exchange.  More about it here

Stubby is Back

Slink Tickler

New Slink® : Tickler

The randomly spaced bumps are great for giving a sense of movement when playing with the Slink®, and when you find a sweet spot, the bumps are like little finger tips pushing on it.  Tickler

Meet the Professor

First sculpted arm in a Silicone Toy line.  Full skin texture on the arm, with the hand smooth and solid for better control and smoother movement inside. At just under 5 pounds the heft makes it the closest to a real hand I’ve ever felt in a toy.  Makes for easy cleanup too. The Professor
