Starglide Organic Lubricants and French Letter Condoms

Posted by Nicci Talbot Aug 30, 2009

I've just come across a new organic brand of personal lubricant called Starglide. It's always pleasing to discover eco-friendly sex toys and intimate products. Many sex toys and lubricants contain harmful ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals and artificial colours, which are not good for the body. The Ecologist published a report recently, which states that certain brands of lubricants contain ingredients which can affect fertility because they change the vaginal pH and prevent sperm motility. Quite shocking, and not something most people would even think about. The vagina is highly sensitive and surrounded by mucous membranes. Any products applied externally or internally are absorbed into the bloodstream very quickly. It's vital then, to use high quality lubricants that aren't packed full of artificial ingredients. This sounds like common sense but some brands do not even list their ingredients on the packaging.

Yes is another brand I can recommend - very natural smelling and tasting products so it will be interesting to compare the two. I also like French Letter Condoms - a new brand of FairDeal condoms made from fairtrade latex, that come in very stylish packaging.
