Most modern consumers, me included, want to do as much as we can to protect the environment.  It makes sense to do what we can to keep pollution under control and do our part to contribute to a sustainable way of life.  But few of us consider the effects of our sex lives and toy usage when it comes to the environment and its protection.

Like any other products, sex toys have an effect on the environment and selecting the right ones will help to keep your sexual footprint on the planet at a minimal level.  We’ll have a look at a few simple ideas that can make your sex toy purchase environmentally friendly.  Here’s our short list:

First, buy toys made from durable materials that extend the life of the toy.  Glass dildos, metal cock rings, silicone vibes and nylon sexual play enhancements last far longer than other toys.  Using durable toys saves you money – since you don’t have to replace your toys nearly as often – and keeps landfills from having unnecessary garbage from being added to them.

Next, buy chemically neutral toys.  Toys that do not contain Phthalates or other potentially harmful materials are a safer choice when it comes to the environment.  You can find more details on materials on our Google Knowledge page about toy materials.

Finally, it’s good for all of us to do our research before a purchase.  Buying a sex toy that we won’t like ultimately shortens the effective usage of that toy.  We don’t want to buy something that will “hit the bin” within a week.  A little research in advance will stop this problem from happening.

Taking the time to do the most basic homework can help to protect the planet when buying a sex toy.  We hope you’ll take a few moments to think this over.  Keep your footprint small and your fun at a maximum.  It’s the best way to have a good time.
