Condom Sensation: Condoms and the Environment

So, it's smart enough to practice safe sex (preventing both pregnancy and STDs) by using the condom properly. But what are you doing with the condom when you finish it? Here are some tips on the environmentally friendly condom disposal.

First, do not rinse your condom, never! Rinse rinse is not the way to deal with them. Condoms can block water pipes in the house (or water pipes, wherever they are). This can be expensive and embarrassing. If the condom is treated through the septic system, it will only be solved with solid waste. This means that someone has to pull out of the wastewater treatment, which is not pleasant for anyone. The condom can be reached even behind the wastewater treatment plant. This is not good because it means that it can finally get into the water supply, and the last thing we need is more pollution in rivers, lakes and oceans.

Not all condoms are equal. Most condoms are made of latex, which means they are biodegradable. But latex does not break down under water, so it is not good to wash used condoms. Condoms, however, are not completely latex and the other components of the condom (spermicide, lubricant) can affect biodegradability. The best solution seems to be sending them to a landfill and seeing how they pass the test of time.

Some condoms, including all women's condoms, are made of polyurethane, plastic. They do not break down. However, there is no other way than to throw it away because the local recycling warehouse will not recycle used condoms. New condoms will not be recycled.

The other condoms are made of sheepskin. They are completely biodegradable condoms. Do not run out and get the sheepskin's condom! The sheepskin condom does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Lamb chest pores are small enough to prevent sperm and thus prevent pregnancy, but pores are large enough to allow for sexually transmitted diseases and infections. This possibility is only possible if people with monogamous relationships have been tested for sexually transmitted diseases. If this is the case, one more environmentally friendly form of birth control can be taken into account, such as Membrane, cervical shield or shield. Ask your doctor about what is best for you.

No matter what kind of condom you use (latex, polyurethane or sheepskin), you will need a package. These foil gaskets are not biodegradable or recyclable. It should simply be put into the trash

Even if the latex or sheepskin condoms are biodegraded, it is best not to try to compost or bury their condoms. The animals smell the human scent and try to dig that they buried. This means they will be badly used condoms. Bonding the condom is equivalent to suction: and there is still a better way to treat condoms.

So in the end, what's the best way to throw away the condom? It is best to wrap a small toilet paper or paper towel (or any other biodegradable material such as paper bases, such as Paper Bags) and then place the trash. Do not block the condom from plastic because it will certainly not be biologically. The good news is that sperm and vaginal fluid on the condom will certainly biodegrade and promote the biological degradation of the condom. Finally, do not forget … never use a condom again. While reducing, reusing and recycling has a history of environmental protection, you must first set your health. Do not minimize the use of condoms, do not re-use the condoms and it is too bad that you can not recycle them. For environmental considerations, condom use is environmentally friendly because it prevents the spread of infectious diseases. This also prevents the concept and children are documented to embrace consumers of global resources.

Hopefully, we'll soon come up with an environmentally-friendly way to practice safe sex. We do all we can to do and we will continue to use the condom.
