Nowdays, everyone is jumping on the 'Green' bandwagon, including the sex toy industry. More and more adult stores are offering eco-friendly relationship enhancement products" to help Mother Earth and offer non-harmful product alternatives(and probably boost sales by following the trend).

VibratorShopping.com, a reputable online retailer of adult products, now features an entire green line, and claim to be "one of the industry's pioneers in the 'Go Green!' initiative." Not only are they selling 'eco-friendly' vibrating and non-vibrating toys, they also offer a glass collection, natural lubricants, and 100% phthalate free (a harmful type of plastic) products. "Phthalates are currently being investigated for causing cancer, harming the reproductive system as well as harming the planet." (Associated Content)

Besides selling "green" products, the company is also making an effort to be more eco-friendly. Within the company, they have started recycling, using water filtration, solar energy, and energy-efficient lighting. They state on their website: "As leaders in the online adult novelty industry we now look ahead to the years to come. We understand the importance of being environmentally conscious and the responsibility we have, as one of the largest online novelty distributors." (Did I mention they're one of the leaders of the largest online novelty distributors?)

rechargeable deluxe Delight vibrator, get wet with organic flower-infused Naked Lube, indulge with a soy-based melting wax Massage Candle, and sheathe yourself in silky, vegan Mamba latex condoms (made by a Swedish non-profit). Even the packaging is good to Mother Earth-just plant the recycled paper studded with wild flower seeds and watch your pleasure blossom." Pure eco-poetry.

Very cool. One thing that has always bothered me about vibrators were the disposable batteries. Most people don't recycle those. Hope that the rechargeable ones will eventually replace all of those.

As a local online adult toy company, we put a serious focus on bringing more healthy choice products to our customers. Most of our products are hypoallergenic, phthalate-free, pyrex glass, or medical grade silicone. Pleasure should never cause a health risk for either you or your partner. Thank you for reporting on such an important subject! Michelle ZoticaToys.com

I'm a big proponent of going green, but when it comes to sex toys, I must ocnfess I need the best toys available, many of which are not green friendly. My girlfriend got me hooked on a number of amazing vibrators and toys at www.orgasminsurance.com and I am now having the best sex with my boyfriend.

There are an overwhelming number of toys on the market today. The green toys are becoming more and more popular. People are actually realizing they can have fun and not add to the huge environmentl issues already in place. I am a firm believer in green. ADULTMARTTOYS.COM

The idea is great, but aren't vegetables more green for this sort of thing?

I am big into green sex toys. Glass, wood, steel, and my favorite ceramic. Duncan Charles Designs creates some the most sleek, beautiful ceramic "green" toys around. They are totally committed to the environment and their clients.
