Have you got an eco-friendly vagina?

Sure, you're keeping it green; you separate your plastics from your cardboards, you only buy organic and you've used your bike over four times this year! So what the heck can Green Peace have to say about your lady garden?

Well it turns out quite a lot: From vegan condoms to organic tampons, when it comes to sex, periods and the land of your labia there's a whole lot more you can do to become a true eco warrior.

Are you using ethical condoms? The answer to that is probably: 'How the heck do I know? I'm just trying to remember that banana demonstration from school!' But our go-to sexual protection is taking a major toll on the planet.

Most condom manufactures don't use sustainable materials, their packaging is rarely eco-friendly and, sorry vegans, but it's bad news for you too: Condoms often rely on animal testing before landing in the pharmacy.

Thankfully, Australian brand Glyde, are doing things differently with the first ethical, vegan & fair trade condom. What's more their products are non-toxic making them safer and healthier. But the best news? That gross latex smell is totally gone.

Organic tampons: Unfortunately, your periods can cause as much discomfort to the planet as they do to you. Sadly, our handbag essentials are surprisingly un-eco friendly; often made of non-organic cotton, which has a hugely negative effect on the environment - and even on us!

Dr. Maggie Ney, the co-director of the Women's Clinic at the Akasha Center in Santa Monica explains, "Because the vaginal walls are incredibly permeable, anything in a tampon can make it to the bloodstream, which isn't great when we're talking about toxin-laden [non-organic] cotton".

So for a safer 'greener' period, TOTM (Time of The Month) manufacture tampons using non-GM organic cotton, in a fair trade environment. They've also opted for recyclable and 100% biodegradable tampon applicators.

Ok, if someone was going to find another use for coconut oil, it was always going to be Gwyneth Paltrow; the woman who proudly steams her vagina.

Lube (we know you just giggled too) it turns out can be incredibly harmful to our lady parts, with many on the market containing parabens, which have been linked to hormone imbalances, infertility and even some cancers. So it's unsurprising that Gwyneth thinks this is yet another area we should be keeping o-naturel. Not only does she recommend reaching for your increasingly handy tub of coconut oil (although be warned this isn't compatible with latex condoms), but the actress also recommends the brand Sliquid, over on her blog, Goop.

When you think lingerie, you're more likely to follow that thought with sex than bamboo, right? Well, sorry to kill the mood… again, but have you considered how sustainable your fave lacy undies are lately?

Luckily for us, London based, LuvaHuva (pronounced Lover Huva) have! They're making pants that are both sexy and sustainable, using 100% organic cotton, bamboo and soy fabrics. Adding beautiful detail by recycling vintage lace. A win for the environment and our knicker drawers!
