green & sexy for Valentine’s Day.

We always feel green and sexy, but for Valentine’s Day we thought we’d kick it up a notch and bring you a trio of green products to get you in the mood…

If your Valentine’s Day plans include getting a little something extra after dinner (or before dinner – or both), be sure to keep it safe by using a condom.  Condoms are great protection against Sexually Transmitted Diseases and unwanted pregnancy, but not all condoms are made alike.  Latex condoms offer the most extensive protection, but don’t biodegrade under water, which means they should be trashed, not flushed.  Lambskin condoms are perhaps the most environmentally friendly, as they’re made from natural ingredients and they biodegrade completely, but they do not protect against STD’s and their porous material is responsible for more than a few unplanned pregnancies.  Just in time for V-Day, LifeStyles brings us a new condom that manages to split the difference between latex and lambs.  LifeStyles SKYN condoms are latex-free because they’re made from polyisoprene, which originally came from the sap of hevea trees and was used by ancient Mayans and Aztecs to make waterproof boots.  These days the polyisoprene is made synthetically in a lab, but the effect is the same.  In addition to being more biodegradable than traditional latex condoms, SKYN condoms are extra-thin, while remaining resistant to breakage.  LifeStyles has also hit the market with Natural Desire personal lubricant, a  paraben and fragrance free lube, which is better for women and for the environment.  Sex isn’t on everyone’s Valentine’s Day menu, but if it’s on yours remember to keep it safe and sexy, for you and the environment.

Whether you’re the only one who sees your panties or not, the super cute and comfy undies from A Lot To Say have, well, a lot to say.  Each pair is made in the US from 100% recycled plastic bottles with a process that requires no water or toxins.  On top of their green origins, each pair boasts a sassy factoid about the environment.  If your Valentine’s Day plans don’t include a lot of…..reading, that’s ok.  There’s always February 15^th.
