Although safe sex is essential, a price is paid at the expense of Mother Nature. According to The Leaflet, condoms, lubricants, and sex toys often contain toxic chemicals that can harm the environment.
That’s why female-founded brand Jems offers vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free condoms that are made from just natural latex and 100% silicone lube. As such, is it free from potentially harmful ingredients such as parabens, paraffins, talc, benzocaine, nonoxynol-9, glycerine, cetyl alcohol, and spermicide.
“Jems was built on the desire to create something for everyone, normalize sex and condom use, and disrupt a toxic industry. We believe we can make sex safer for all,” says the brand.
Jems’ website also acts as a platform for sex education, where various blog posts covering important subjects ranging from STIs to consent are published.
