Everyone is trying to think green it seems. From making a point of recycling to using products that are eco-friendly, we all want to do our part when it comes to saving the environment, but how many of us have ever put that desire to use when it comes to our sex lives? No, I'm not talking about having sex with the next hippy-trippy earth-lovin' person you meet, but rather about your sex toys! Seriously now! Why not think about the ways that your choice of sex toy can affect the world around you.
We get that when in the throws of passion, it may be a tad difficult to think of anything more than the burning fire between your thighs, but before you get to that point, here are a few interesting facts about sex toys that you’re probably not aware of:
- Many sex toys on the market contain PVC because it is inexpensive and easy to work with, but PVC has been proven to contain harmful toxins that are bad for the environment.
- Phthalates are used to soften PVC and create many of the most "lifelike" sex toys available, but it has recently been proven that phthalates cause cancer and can damage sperm as well as the reproductive system.
- The use of phthalates are regulated in the manufacturing of children's toys and medical equipment, but there are few steps being taken as far as sex toys go even though these products are used intimately and putting people at risk.
- Rubber and plastic sex toys don't have a very long life when used regularly which results in a whole lot of toxins ending up in our landfills and ultimately our soil and water supplies.
Have we got your attention now? Are you scared? Good. You should be.
Now that we've got you thinking about the effects of plastic sex toys on your health and your world, you're probably wondering what you can do to make things right. The answer: buy glass sex toys. Here's why:
- Glass sex toys will last more than a lifetime when cared for properly so you get your more than your money's worth AND are not polluting the earth with your worn out-yucky-broken-nasty-retired dildos and vibrators.
- Glass toys are non-porous (unlike jellies and such) and can be recycled by passing on/swapping with a friend as long as you wash them of course!
- Many glass sex toys are made from recycled glass and those that are not, are still recyclable.
By choosing glass toys, not only are you opening yourself up -literally!- to a whole world of unique sensations thanks to it's luxurious texture and ability to be heated and cooled for your pleasure, but you are also investing in a high quality sex toy that is as good for the environment as it is for your libido!
Glass toys also come in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs so that you can find just the right one to satisfy your cravings and taste. And while glass toys may look like an expensive work of art, they are a better value for your money because they’re durable, resistant and able to keep going and going and going.
Just a little something to think about my sexy green friends.
