Created by father-daughter duo Meika and Jeffery Hollender 'Sustain Condoms' allows people to participate in safe sex — not only from one another, but from the harsh chemicals typically found in prophylactics. Jeffery Hollender envisioned a sustainable condom over 20 years ago. Sustain Condoms sources from the only fair trade rubber latex factory in the world. These socially conscious condoms are also vegan-friendly, which means they are not tested on animals.
Sustain Condoms cuts out nitrosamine, a very harmful carcinogen found in unsustainable condoms. Nitrosamine releases from the latex in hot or wet conditions, making Sustain Condoms the soon-to-be natural choice amongst the sexually active. The product is so well liked throughout the lifestyle community that grocery store Whole Foods and fashion brand Michael Stars carry them in their stores.
