FAQ about Whet

Why are you called "Whet", should't it be "wet"?

• Yes, there does seem to be a lot of confusion about this! While we would like to think that "wet" may come into play somewhere along the line, our choice of name is based on the idea of "sharpening your appetite."     "It is natural to think that something mouth-watering “wets your appetite,” but actually the expression is “whet your appetite”— sharpen your appetite, as a whetstone sharpens a knife." www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/wet.html

Is the Whet Emporium only for women?

• The Whet Emporium is conceptualised, run and owned by women for women. Many women have male partners and they are also most welcome as are other men who appreciate the site we have put together, however many of our products are naturally geared towards pleasing women and encouraging them explore their sensuality and sexuality. We are hoping to open a "brother" site orientated towards men's needs in the near future.

Why don't "rate" the Rabbit  Vibrator as "the best"?

• The Rabbit and its many clones are made from Jelly which is one a substance that has been controversial and there are potential health risks associated with jelly toys because they contain phthalates. "Phthalates are chemicals used to soften much harder materials, such as PVC. Used as a pipe for plumbing, PVC is food-grade quality; but when you make it soft, for sex toys, it has a strong odor and leaches chemicals. Phthalates are known carcinogens and have been voluntarily eliminated by manufacturers of baby teething toys, pacifiers, bottle nipples and pet chew toys." explains Metis Black  For more information on Jelly toys and why we prefer other toy material please read our not so sexy sex toy materials section.
