Did you realize that the typical sex toy could linger in a landfill longer than your great grandchildren will live? That stopped me cold when I let it sink in. That's why I want to share what makes eco conscious vibrators a smart idea. We can look after the world while still taking care of our own pleasure.
We used to think of sex toys as just something fun, but now more people are waking up to how they affect our health and the environment. Because of this shift, companies are starting to use better materials and processes. The usual vibrators sometimes have PVC or phthalates, which are not great because they can release bad stuff into your body. These materials also pollute when they are made and tossed out. The nasty chemicals can mess with your hormones and cause other health problems. We're proud to say that our store is phthalate-free and there are less than 20 products that contain any amount of PVC with none of them toys.
Why Use Eco Conscious Vibrators?
Choosing eco-friendly options is not just a fad. It shows you care about yourself and the earth. Here are some big reasons to think about the benefits of eco conscious vibrators:
- Better stuff: The nontoxic vibrators usually use things like medical grade silicone, glass or wood that comes from sustainable places. These materials are nice to your body and do not cause allergies or irritation as easily. Plus, they do not have the bad chemicals that could seep into you.
- Taking care of Mother Earth: Regular vibrators frequently wind up sitting in landfills. They can stay there for ages, and they leak yucky stuff into the ground. The companies that care about the environment use better ways of making things. This means using recycled materials and not making as much waste.
- Doing what is right: Many companies that are eco conscious care about treating workers fairly and being open about how they do things. When you buy from them, you are helping make sure people are treated well.
What They Are Made Of: Picking the Right Stuff
What a toy is made of is super important if you are going the eco-friendly route. Here are some top choices:
- Medical Grade Silicone: People like this because it feels good, does not have pores and is easy to clean. Make sure to get the kind that the FDA says is okay and does not have phthalates, BPA or other worrisome chemicals.
- Glass: Glass vibrators are a good bet since they are non-porous, hypoallergenic and super simple to sterilize. Plus, they look elegant and are sanitary.
- Body safe metals: Metal sex toys are considered eco-friendly primarily because of their durability, recyclability, and non-porous nature which offers a sustainable alternative to many plastic-based toys.
More Than Just Materials: Other Ways to Be Sustainable
There is more to think about than just what the toy is made of. Do not forget these things:
- Packaging: Try to find items that do not have a lot of packaging and use recycled or biodegradable stuff.
- How they make it: Support the businesses that try to save energy, cut down on waste and treat their workers fairly.
- Batteries: Get vibrators that can be recharged or use batteries that are easy to recycle.
- Getting rid of it: See if the company has a way to recycle the toy or can tell you how to dispose of it properly.
Using non-toxic vibrators is a real boost to your sexual health. Steering clear of harmful chemicals means less chance of allergies, hormone issues and other health scares. Knowing you are making a sustainable choice is a good feeling that adds to your pleasure.
