Good Vibrations Ecorotic® Green Sex Toy Collection

The adult industry hasn’t always focused on green issues, but times are changing, and we now have more access to better products than ever before. Phthalates are plasticizers used to soften PVC and plastics, and they have been banned from children's toys in the US and Europe due to levels of toxicity. When information about phthalates in sex toys first became available, we were the first company to shift away from products containing them in 2001 and look for safer alternatives. Our efforts were instrumental in urging the sex toy industry to develop phthalate-free products. None of our products contain phthalates, so you can shop for toys worry-free! In 2007, we became the first multi-channel retail company to discontinue these products and we encouraged our manufacturers to do the same. We are proud of our role as leaders in helping our industry begin to question and change its practices regarding materials, packaging, and other issues impacting sustainability.

Now, when it comes to sexual pleasure and health, there are many ways products that feel good to you can also be choices you can feel good about. Our earth-friendly ecorotic® collection offers all-natural and organic products, as well as longer lasting items that have less environmental impact, such as sex toys made from superior materials and rechargeable vibes. For example:

• Lubricants made from natural and/or organic ingredients that are produced in the US, rather than overseas, thereby reducing their carbon footprints
• Rechargeable Battery Vibrators don't use disposable batteries, and are more durable and long-lasting 
• Long-lasting materials: glass, sustainably harvested wood, metal, or silicone products can last a lifetime and are less likely to end up in landfill, and many of these items are themselves recyclable
• In addition to being more durable, high-grade, non-permeable materials are much safer for your body and more natural than most plastics and composites

Dr. Carol Queen, Good Vibrations’ staff Sexologist and company spokesperson explains the importance of greening the bedroom, “Sex is part of our lives, so any issue that concerns us out of the bedroom has implications inside it: if we recycle, buy local produce, watch our carbon use, and think ecologically in other ways, it makes sense to do the same when we make sexual choices. Our well-being and that of the earth are connected, so consider where you can go ecorotic®!”
