There are a lot of myths and mistruths surrounding biodegradable and vegan condoms, but none are more entertaining than the idea that one will literally perish while you and your partner are shaking sheets.
We all remember that scene from Bridget Jones’s Baby, where Bridget gets pregnant after using the ‘biodegradable and dolphin friendly’ condom in a festival yurt.
‘Oh, God! You didn’t use those? The vegan condoms?’ No mention of the fact it had been festering in her wallet for a good 10 years. Despite the obvious satire, the film indulged the fallacy that if a condom is sustainably produced, it must be ineffective.
In fact, the opposite couldn’t be more true. But instead of lecturing you on why I’d instead like to introduce you to Roam – the vegan condoms changing the public perception. I’ll also introduce you to our Roam discount code, GYM10 which gets you 10% off your purchase.
No more foreplay, let’s get into it.
A More Sustainable Sex Life
While pleasure is at the heart of Roam’s work, it’s also on a mission to clean up our planet, one sexual encounter at a time. It takes an awfully long time for the average condom to biodegrade, we’re talking thousands of years. And with billions of condoms bought each year, that’s a big impact on the environment.
So, what is Roam doing differently? Good question, Roam has created a condom that is both vegan and biodegradable.
Whereas most condoms use synthetic latex which isn’t biodegradable, Roam condoms use 100% natural rubber latex, which is.
It also pays a sustainability premium, which means it factors in the additional cost of choosing “green” technologies and materials over fossil-fuel derivatives.
The result is natural rubber latex of the highest quality, rather than cheap and harmful alternatives. Derived from the rubber tree, its condoms are made entirely of renewable material so you can get to doing it (sex) without ruining it (the planet).
If that doesn’t get you in the mood, then this will. Roam condoms are packaged in paper foils that contain up to 40% less plastic than traditional foil material, with outer packaging made from recycled and recyclable material.
I know what you’re thinking, ‘how does any of this make them vegan?’
Most condoms will test on animals and use animal products, like casein; a protein found in cow and goat milk which is often added to the latex. Roam condoms don’t test on animals nor do they use any animal by-products, making them proudly 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
Roam Vegan Condoms
Roam’s natural latex condoms aren’t just about the environment, they have also been designed to blend sensation, protection, and strength. How many of you have taken the risk of not using protection because condoms feel, well, unnatural? I know I have. Our usual competence seems to go out the window while we’re in the throes of passion, but if you’re anti-condom, then I’d urge you to give Roam’s a try.
They’re 0.2mm in thickness and are electronically triple-tested, meaning a close-fitting, skin-to-skin feel that will bring you closer to your partner than ever. But don’t worry, a thinner condom doesn’t mean a trip to the pharmacy the next day to get the dreaded morning-after pill. Roam uses premium fair rubber that’s secure and stretchy.
What’s more, Roam condoms have been developed in partnership with the leading worldwide condom manufacturer that has been producing condoms for over 30 years, so you’re in safe hands.
Each condom is pre-lubricated with silicone-based lubricant as per industry standard medical device regulation, so you’re good to go as soon as you put it on.
Speaking of putting it on, Roam knows that penises come in all shapes and sizes, and for that reason, its condoms should too. Depending on your package, you can choose from slim, regular, or large. But remember, this isn’t your Tinder profile, you can be honest.
The Cost Of Safe Sex
A one-off purchase of 18 condoms will cost you just £20. But if you fancy yourself as a bit of a Casanova then there’s the option of grabbing a larger pack containing 36. However, if you’re less successful with the ladies and are still working on your ‘rizz’, then it’s probably safer to opt for the 12-pack.
If you’re in two minds about the price, I’d encourage you to Google how much you’ll have to fork out to raise a child until it is 16. Spoiler alert, it’s a lot more than £20. But we understand money can be tight, and so does Roam. That’s why you can subscribe and save yourself 20%, plus get an extra 10% on top of that by using our code GYM10 at the checkout.
