Ideal Bite: Best Eco-Responsible Condoms.

Eco-friendly contraceptives for the world’s ever-growing population? We likey.

Recently, Ideal Bite posted a feature on eco-friendly condoms available, in honor of World Population Day. These condoms (flavored or not—your choice!) benefit the earth by eliminating the exorbitant amounts of  waste humans create each year. These brands (and see Ideal Bite’s great list, below) offer nontoxic, vegan and biodegradable condoms.

By eliminating waste, animal habitats are less prone to destruction, thus multiplying other animal populations while reducing the risk of unwanted pregnancies! How sexy is that?

Ideal Bite’s faves:

• Sheer Glyde Dams – female latex condoms made ethically in Malaysia; includes a cola flavor. Also: male condoms ($5-$10/12).
• French Letter Aphrodisiac Condoms – rose- and vanilla-scented, fair-trade condoms made from FSC-certified rubber latex; three other varieties also available ($15/12).
• Condomi Condoms – an assortment of vegan latex condoms from Germany – including XXL and fruit-flavored versions ($5/15).
• Condom Depot – not vegan, but it only stocks condoms without Nonoxynol-9 (a spermicide in conventional condoms that carries similar risks to parabens).
