Heard of petrochemicals? You might not have, but if you've ever used most personal lubricants, chances are they have affected you. According to the World Health Organization, and a handful of other leading health organizations, these petrochemicals damage genital and rectal cell tissue when they enter your body. Another thing you need to know about when it comes to lubricants is Bacterial Vagnosis (BV). If you've never heard of BV before, you're not alone; most women haven't! Here's what you need to know: BV occurs when the normal balance of good bacteria in the vagina is disrupted and replaced with an overgrowth of certain types of harmful bacteria 2 in 5 women have it, but 84% don't know they have it Women who have BV are 60% more likely to contract an STI They are also 3x more likely to infect their partners So when you put things like petrochemicals in your vagina, your vaginal 'ecosystem' gets disrupted. The bacterial balance changes and you become more likely to contract BV. Here's the good news: You can look all you want, but you'll never find a single petrochemical in Sustain's personal lubricants. So no risk of BV. Now onto the stuff that might sound a little more familiar: Parabens and Glycerin. Two things that - like petrochemicals - you definitely don't want going inside your body. Parabens, known mostly as toxins in personal care and cosmetics, cause many of the same health effects when found in personal lubricants. And when high concentrations of glycerin enter the vagina, cellular damage can occur. Once cells are damaged, they are less able to protect the body from contracting an STD or STI. The solution seemed simple to them: Create a 95% organic, natural, biocompatible personal lubricant. So that's exactly what they did. Why Sustain? Sustain is just going to put this out there: They're passionate. They sell condoms and other sexual wellness products, yes. But they're so much more than that. They're here to create change. They believe in birth control, without stigma and free of toxic chemicals. Using sex as a conversation starter-is there a better topic?-their goal is to get people to think about sustainability, justice, and equity every time they open a condom, even though they're understandably distracted. They want to educate and help people connect the dots between condoms and hunger, health care, poverty, and climate change. They hope to inspire people to make the world a better place. They're all about responsibility-not just personal, but corporate. They want the world to be better off than it was before their products, which is why 10 percent of their profits support women's reproductive health care. All that and recycled packaging, too! They will never solve the myriad of complex problems we face one at a time. Social inequity produces poverty, poverty results in hunger, hunger encourages unsustainable agricultural practices that result in global climate change. Sustain is about recognizing connections, taking on the system not the individual problems. Clearly this is not business as usual. It's a movement. Welcome to Sustain. 10% 4Women When you build a business, you always think beyond your product. The lack of reproductive health care in the U.S. for many, many women is appalling.

- When there is no access to health care, there are high rates of AIDs and other STDs, as well as unplanned teen pregnancy. So much can be avoided when family planning, sex ed, and basic health care services like STD testing and breast examinations are accessible. So Sustain is donating 1 percent of their pretax profits to women who currently lack this access. Yes, 1 percent.
