Go Green with Eco-friendly Sex Toys

Some of our readers have asked for further clarification. OrgasmicEarth.com always welcomes your questions and feedback so we're glad you asked. Here's a simple, straight forward answer:

In order for a product to be considered a green sex toy it should satisfy two conditions:

The item doesn't contain phthalates or any other chemicals that may be toxic to your body. It should be constructed from materials that are naturally derived from the earth such as aluminum, glass, or silicone. Toys made from jelly compounds or complex materials that are chemically synthesized in laboratories can carry a risk of being tainted with harmful substances.

For a product to truly meet the "green" standard it should also meet a second (often overlooked) condition regarding manufacturing protocols. Although the sex toy industry is not regulated by the FDA or any other governing body, some industry leading manufacturing companies have taken it upon themselves to become more environmentally conscious and responsible. We applaud companies like Tantus, Fun Factory, and Lelo who have begun to clean up the industry by insisting on higher and cleaner production standards.

With this new age approach to helping to preserve our environment, manufacturers of legitimate green sex toys have invested mega dollars into revamping their production facilities. They utilize innovative, energy efficient equipment and machinery that operates cleanly, releasing far less toxins into the earth's atmosphere than typical production plants that are burdened by caustic production methods. Environmentally conscious companies strive to construct eco-friendly sex toys made from environmentally safe compounds that also contribute to a drastic decrease in toxins being emitted into the earth's atmosphere.

These stringent protocols have multi-layered benefits. Consumers as well as workers employed by facilities that manufacture green sex toys all benefit by not being exposed to the toxins that can be found in many traditional toys. We can also rest easy knowing that we aren't fueling the destruction of the earth's ozone or polluting the precious air, earth, and water that we depend on daily to preserve our health and the balance of nature.

Some companies now produce eco-friendly sex toys made from recycled material and they also use bio-degradable packaging. Some products feature rechargeable batteries, cutting down on the corrosive effects that traditional batteries have when they are dumped into our earth's landfills.
