Let’s start with maxi pads and tampons. Did you know that Tampax is owned by Proctor & Gamble, one of the main animal testing culprits out there? Why support a company like that when you can buy cute pads and tampons from a company like Moxie? They make ultra thin panty liners and pads. They use the same amount of absorbent material as the other brands, but they compress it, so it’s thinner and less intrusive. They also come with hygienic (and adorable) little tins so you can keep your girly items hidden in your purse. Their tampons are coated so they are super easy to insert.

Let’s move on to personal lubricants. I tried a lube called Naked by Joi Organic Intimacy. It’s a great water-based lube – safe with latex condoms and silicone toys. Naked has no artificial flavors or scents. It’s made with organic ingredients, has no parabens or glycol and it doesn’t stain. It’s made by a woman and is 100% vegan, and of course not tested on animals. What more could you ask for?

I also have to tell you about a brand I found called Good Clean Love. They have a line of organic personal lubricants, pleasure butters, passion candles and love oils for sexual enhancement. I love their Almost Naked lube because I love the fact that it is: cruelty-free (of course), has no petrochemicals or parabens and has 95% organic ingredients.

I have to tell you that if these products didn’t irritate MY skin, it is HIGHLY likely it won’t irritate yours either, because I am a sensitive gal. Like any water-based lubes, they don’t last all that long, so you have to keep applying.
