Sex should be sexy so let’s remove the toxins from it, shall we? From the lubrication you keep in your nightstand to the condoms you have on hand, there are healthy options on the market that skip the parabens, phthalates, artificial fragrance, alcohol, and petroleum. And besides the toxicity, these healthier options may help you in the pleasure department because some of those toxic ingredients can be really irritating.

Here is the low-down on clean lubrication and condoms:

Lubrication:
Clean nontoxic lube is a thing and has come a long way in the last two years. There are a handful of cleaner options ranging from aloe-based to coconut-oil based that skip toxic ingredients like glycerin, petroleum-based ingredients, propylene glycol, chlorhexidine gluconate, nonoxynol-9, etc.
