A Greener Sex Life

I am tickled to green-up my sex life! I'm finding that like all eco-friendly products, the better made, higher quality toys tend to be a bit more expensive. But you get what you pay for because they also tend to be the healthiest for you too!

Look for toys that are made of glass, metal, silicone, or hard plastics, as there are fewer chemicals in the manufacturing process. They also have a longer life span, which means you will purchase fewer toys in your lifespan.

Glass is considered the most eco-friendly sex toy product of all. You could even recycle your glass toy with your other glass recyclables. But they are so durable and beautiful I have never heard of anyone ever wanting to get rid of a lovely glass toy! This G Spot Glass Dong is one of my favorites.

Firm silicone toys are the second runner up. The more firm the silicone; the longer it will last. This Love Pacifier is a prime example of a fine silicone toy. (Buy butt toys in darker colors and the always look clean, if you know what I mean?)

The G spotter we call Rock Chic is another firm silicone hit. It vibrates, but the little vibe can be popped out for easy cleaning and you can buy replacement vibes of this style, so you do not need to replace the whole toy. When the time comes you can simply buy a new little motor.

 

If you love things that vibrate, try investing in rechargeable batteries. Or think about upgrading to a rechargeable toy! They have cord like a cel phone or a stand like an electric toothbrush. When you are ready, pop that sucker off the charger and have fun!

There are lots of rechargeable vibes on the market. But one pictured here is the Phantasy. Inductively rechargeable without a cable, loading station with power supply plug. It’s waterproof too!

 

MORE TIPS

Shower together and save water. Get clean and have foreplay at the same time!

Turn the lights out and use our Caress Me Candles to light the way. Sure it has natural ingredients, a cotton wick but it also doubles as massage oil! The wax melts at a low temperature, pools into a warm massage oil and makes for a luscious evening.

Read sex how-to and erotic books. You’ll find amazing inspiration and then pass it on to a friend. You’ve just recycled.

A Satin Blindfold can add some sparks to your play. Use it again and again. Hand wash in warm water.

Don’t flush condoms. Instead wrap them in tissue and throw them in the trash. It is estimated that hundreds of millions of condoms enter our water systems every year due to those who flush them down the toilet. They clog pipes, treatment plants, and enter waterways like rivers.

Keeping your thermostat low in the cold weather will inspire snuggling.

Patch up your blow up doll with bicycle repair kit patch. (I joke! But really, you could.)

Thanks to these peeps for much inspiration and for greening up my own sex life:

I suspect that your suggestion that glass toys are recyclable is a little off the mark. In my community only glass containers are recyclable. Window glass, as well as more exotic glass items such as cookware are not allowed. Glass toys have quite a lot going for them from a greenness perspective including durability and the relative abundance of their raw materials. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to speculate on the relative amount of embodied energy compared to say, silicone toys.

Actually there is a website that allows you to recycle (all) sex toys. Here is the website:
