What are the safest condoms and lubricants without indications of PFAS “forever chemicals?” This was the question Mamavation members asked us because they were concerned about these products for their own personal health, but also for the young adults & teenagers in their lives. We did not know the answer to these questions because no one has studied the impacts of PFAS in this category of reproductive health products yet, so we decided to start testing. Would you like some guidance on the safest condoms and lubricants? You’ve trusted Mamavation to bring you safest makeup sans PFAS, safest contact lenses, best water purifiers to filter PFAS, and best organic mattresses, now join us for a consumer study on condoms & lubricants with raw laboratory results on PFAS “forever chemical” indicators.
Mamavation’s EPA-certified laboratory found indications of PFAS “forever chemicals” after analyzing 29 popular condoms & lubricants on the market today. PFAS are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances that have been used for many decades as stain-resistant, oil-resistant, grease-resistant, & water-resistant chemicals in commerce.
