The use of lubricants made from chemical-free and organic materials is also increasing.
Dating Consciously
Sustainability has become a part of the attraction for Gen-Z. Even on dating apps, people who love the environment are being liked more. Instead of expensive gifts or hotels that use plastic, eco-friendly dates like walking in parks or planting trees are becoming popular.
Support ethical brands
Today’s youth are rejecting the products of companies that harm the environment just for the sake of profit. They are supporting brands that pay fair wages to their employees and have transparent production processes. This trend shows the purposeful and meaningful life of the youth of Gen-Z. They are aware of the impact their every action has on the earth. This generation has understood very well that along with sexual health, taking care of the health of the earth is also the biggest need of today.
The condoms they use do not contain animal protein (casein) and dissolve naturally in the soil. Using USB-chargeable silicone devices instead of disposable sex toy batteries is an eco-friendly habit. They use aloe vera or water-based, petrochemical-free products as lubricants. Not only sex, but using menstrual cups or period panties also reduces plastic waste significantly.
