Guilt in the bedroom is never fun, so skip the plastic sex toys: If they’re not piling up in landfills, they’re potentially exposing pleasure seekers to hormone-disrupting chemicals called phthalates. Instead, reach for one of these three beautiful alternatives, which are all petroleum-free and made in Canada.
