Where do condoms come from? What even is lube? Today, we’re breaking down the environmental impacts of our basic sexual wellness products! Let’s discuss the sustainability (and health!) of our bedroom choices: condoms, personal lubricant, vibrators, and a bit more. We’re also sharing lots of brands you may want to switch to, and how these products are linked to our larger environmental footprints. Instead of an end-of-ep question, this episode is answering your eco-conscious sex questions throughout our conversation.
