Is Your Sexlife Eco-Friendly?

Is your sex life eco-friendly? Well, that’s a question we might not ask ourselves that often, but the bedroom is potentially one overlooked area where we should pay some extra attention.

 

First, let's talk about the environmental impact of sex toys. Many sex toys are made from plastic, which is not only bad for the environment but might not be the safest material to have in contact with our bodies. The lack of regulation in the industry means that the materials used in production are not well controlled. There is also a lot of misinformation and confusion about what materials are safe to use in sex toys. Some sellers may sell inferior or potentially dangerous products. Luckily, there are now plenty of eco-friendly options made from materials such as silicone, glass, and metal. Not only are these materials safer for our bodies, but they're also better for the planet.

Next, let's talk about lubricants. Many lubricants on the market contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to both our bodies and the environment. Opt for a natural, organic lubricant made from ingredients such as coconut oil or aloe vera. Not only are they better for you, but they're also better for the planet.

Another way to make your intimate life more sustainable is by using menstrual products that are kind to the environment. Instead of using disposable pads and tampons, consider using a menstrual cup or reusable pads. Not only are they better for the environment, but they're also better for your body.

Finally, let's talk about the packaging of all these products. Many sex toys, lubricants, and menstrual products come in packaging that is wasteful. Look for products with minimal, sustainable packaging instead.

In conclusion, there are many ways to make our intimate lives more sustainable. By choosing eco-friendly sex toys, lubricants, menstrual products, and packaging, we can reduce our environmental impact and make our intimate lives more sustainable.
