Moms Urged to ‘Greenify Your Sex Life’

Try not to picture your own mom when you read this: Mom Logic, a website devoted to providing information and community for ‘Moms from all walks of life and all stages of motherhood’ has a few sex tips that can help turn mom’s romps between the sheets into eco-friendly fun.

Hey, just in time for Mother’s Day shopping! Give mom a gift of the sort that therapy bills are made of. Okay, guys, maybe these items are better off being purchased for the mother of your own children rather than the one that bore you.

Among the products featured are organic massage oil, bamboo sheets, more massage oil, organic lingerie (“Toss the ol’ granny panties for an eco-friendly pair”) and the pictured ‘love toy’, as they put it. Available in original or travel size!

Let’s just hope the kids’ rubber ducky bath toy doesn’t get accidentally confused with this ‘discreet massager’ decked out like a leather daddy in an underground NYC club or they might have some confused young ‘uns on their hands.

Greenify Your Sexy Time Toy Collection by Getting Off Chemicals

Victoria E has a good post up highlighting the dangers of cheap plastic sex toys. For the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster people, spend some money on nice eco-friendly vibrators and whatnots. Good Vibrations, Babeland, and Good Clean Love are excellent places to start.

Here’s a snip, head over and read Victoria’s whole post.

Whether adventurous or mildly amorous, millions of couples use “novelty” items (a.k.a. sex toys). Often purchased on a whim, these bedside buddies can exponentially enhance your sensual encounters but they may also bring their own fair share of damage.

Soft and dangerous
If any of your toys are made from what looks to be a jelly-like substance or have the same smell as your newly purchased shower curtain, there is a very high possibility that they have been made with phthalates. These chemical compounds are used to soften the plastic, making it more flexible, which would seem to be perfect for such an intimate item.

Banned in Europe
Used since the 1920s in not only sex toys, but also perfumes, pesticides, rain coats, hair spray and medical instruments, phthalates have been linked to liver and kidney damage, genital abnormalities, hormone disruption and cancer. In 2005, the European Union banned six types of phthalates in children’s toys due to their dangers.
