JUST THE BASICS:

The first step is to avoid the baddies. This means toys made of plastics which may contain phthalates and other icky chemicals – which are bad enough in bottled water products but to put them you know where, well… Look for sex toys made of medical-grade and body-safe materials that can be recycled. Wood, glass, and silicone are some options. You also can look for sex toys that are rechargeable, use rechargeable batteries, or even find unique hand-cranked, organic, or solar-powered erotic toys.

SILICONE SEX TOYS:

Vixen Creations is a woman owned sex toy company making hand-crafted adult toys with eco-friendly silicone. Silicone has many advantages when used in sex toys. Silicone is flexible and naturally warms up to your body temperature. It’s a toxin free material, vibrates smoothly, cleans easily and silicone sex toys come in a wide array of colors and shapes – enough to please just about everyone. Vixen even offers a great lifetime guarantee on all their silicone sex toys.

You can also shop at sex toy king Good Vibrations through their earth-friendly Ecorotic collection which includes silicone toys as well as many other all-natural and organic sex fun products.

WOODEN SEX TOYS:

Wooden sex toys have the disadvantage of being inflexible BUT are beautiful when well made and long lasting. Plus, if made in an eco-friendly manner won’t contain any of the icky chemicals found in plastic.

NobEssence makes wooden sex toys, or “sculptures” as they call them with hand selected wood and then carve and polish with care using state-of-the-art bio-compatible Lubrosity. Lubrosity coatings and processes meet USP Class IV and VI Medical Standards can be soaked in water, have zero odor, and have no petroleum distillates. Because of the hand crafted process, each sculpture has it’s own unique color, shape, texture and grain.

GLASS SEX TOYS:

Of course the major concern with glass sex toys is breakage – what a way to ruin a fun night right?! Glass sex toys are also, like wood, inflexible and won’t warm in the same natural way that wood and silicone will. However, there are advantages. According to Glass Dildo Me, makers of all things glass and sexy, “Pyrex, Borosilicate glass is hypoallergenic, odor free, and non-deteriorating.” You can also heat or cool glass sex toys manually with warm water or ice water.

Other advantages of glass include easy recycling and beauty. Glass can be blown in amazing shapes and colors (see above), although for this sort of gorgeous work a downside is cost. Good quality glass sex toys will cost more than other eco-friendly sex toys, and if they don’t you should actually look elsewhere. PS at Glass Dildo Me you can even design your own glass dildo.
