Back to nature: natural toys and products

When there’s a social media outage across the globe, we all shout: how incredible, that peace and quiet. No messages or social pressure. News flash: you can do that for yourself. Go for some real me time. Turn off your phone, forget the hustle and bustle, and go back to basics with natural toys.

Back to basics: getting back to nature

In our busy daily lives, we all seem to forget that you don’t have to be reachable at all times. Your phone can be turned off, and it’s really okay if you’re not available for a day. Do you miss having time for yourself, could you use a little peace and quiet? Get back to nature, where peace, nature, self-love, relaxation, and pampering are your focus. How? With natural toys and products, of course!

Natural toys: eco vibrators by Gaia

Specially created for the environmentally conscious, Blush Novelties has launched the Gaia collection. This collection features the first fully biodegradable vibrators. It includes a powerful bullet vibrator, which stimulates your most intimate spots with intense vibrations. The small bio vibrator is easy to take with you in your wash bag when you go camping. Do you like to stimulate your G-spot? Then go for Gaia’s Eco G-spot vibrator. It has a curved head, which makes it easier to reach your special spot. You can also choose from no fewer than five different vibration patterns and five speeds.

Gaia vibrators are available in bright colours like green, aqua, and coral. They’re made of BioFeel, which is a bioplastic based on corn starch. Besides the fact that they’re biodegradable, the materials used are also easy to recycle.

Eco Premium air pressure vibrator from Womanizer

The Womanizer brand – known for the world’s first air-pressure sex toy – doesn’t stop innovating either. They recently released their premium air pressure vibrator in an eco version. With air pressure, your clitoris can be stimulated with no fewer than 12 different settings. This luxury clitoral vibrator provides unprecedented pleasure and even satisfies women who have trouble coming to a climax.

This eco toy is made of Biolene: a vegan, biodegradable material and an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The packaging is also 100% guilt-free. The toy itself is recyclable. You can even replace certain parts if your vibrator gets worn down after a while. For example, it has a rechargeable battery that can be replaced if necessary.

Organic lubricant

If you opt for natural toys, it’s almost obvious that you also choose organic lubricant. At least, if you’re aware that they exist. Organic lubricant offers a number of advantages – the most important one being that no harmful substances can get into your body or into the environment. This is because this kind of lube is produced without chemicals, parabens, and (usually) without silicones. And that’s good news for everyone with sensitive skin: chances are that your skin can tolerate an organic lubricant much better. Organic is not harmful to condoms, and the tube is often made of biodegradable material as well.

Are you worried that organic lube will feel different than regular lube? This doesn’t have to be the case: it feels just as nice and smooth as any other kind. Plus, just like traditional lube, it comes in different versions, like flavoured or tingling lube. Well-known brands with organic lubricant are Sliquid, BIOglide and HOT Bio.

Vegan condoms

Everyone knows that if you eat vegan, you’d also like to use vegan condoms. And, as this animal-friendly lifestyle becomes more common and well-known, you’ve got plenty to choose from! Vegan condoms are made from fair-trade latex and come in a range of styles: ridged, flavoured, or just regular condoms with lubricant. Go for condoms from the Glyde and Mein Kondom brands. Enjoy some safe, guilt-free sex!

Sex in the open air

And then on to something completely different, but very appropriate if you want to go natural: sex in the open air! Besides natural toys for your back-to-basics adventure, it’s also great to make time to relax in the great outdoors. Sex in the open air is adventurous, but also very relaxing. Enjoy the sun on your face, the wind on your bare skin, in a place where nobody can see you. Of course, this is especially easy to do in a tent somewhere, but you can also try it in a discrete spot in the garden.
