Rechargeable batteries<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b><\/b>LELO was the first company \u2013 and is still the only company \u2013 to use\u00a0eco-friendly, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in every one of our products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With\u00a0a life span of up to 6,000 charges, lithium-ion batteries have one of the best energy densities available, as well as a slow loss of charge when not in use. To put that into perspective,\u00a0even if you drain and recharge your LELO\u2019s battery every day for 10 years, you will still only have charged it 3,650 times!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">That means you\u2019ll never have to throw away a disposable battery, so you can enjoy your LELO safe in the knowledge that it\u2019s the greenest option around.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">2. Phthalate-free<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b><\/b>Unlike some plastic vibes, all LELOs are completely phthalate-free.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you\u2019re not familiar with phthalates, they\u2019re\u00a0chemicals\u00a0added to plastic as a cost-effective way of increasing its flexibility and durability, but which are easily leached away and absorbed into the body or the environment. And that can be seriously bad news \u2013 phthalates are toxic, marked by the FDA as a possible cancer risk, and can even disrupt the body\u2019s delicate balance by mimicking hormones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Our\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/choosing-safest-sex-toys-lelo-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">100% FDA-approved silicone<\/a><\/span>\u00a0contains no harmful chemicals that can tarnish neither you nor Mother Nature, in sharp contrast with a number of other products found on store shelves.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">3. Entirely In-House Manufacturing<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b><\/b>To properly oversee the entire process all the way from development to packaging, we\u00a0manufacture all of our products in-house.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Everything we make strictly complies with the standards for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) as well as Restriction of Hazardous\u00a0Substances (RoHS). But it\u2019s not just about meeting the standards \u2013 keeping everything in-house gives us and our customers the assurance that LELO products are safe and kind to the environment.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Uncompromising Quality<\/h2>\n<p><b><\/b>Without a doubt, silicone is the ideal material for vibrators \u2013 not only because it is silky smooth and body-safe, but because of its nonporous surface, which makes it easy to clean and prevents it from harboring any surface bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>And as we only use premium materials and high-quality components, our products are so long-lasting that they&#8217;re covered by a 10-Year Quality Guarantee. Since your LELO will keep going for longer than any other product on the market, this\u00a0reduces the amount of discarded toys in landfills!<\/p>\n<h2>5. Our Environmental Policy<\/h2>\n<p><b><\/b>At LELO we care deeply about the environment, and since we are the only company in the industry to completely control our own production facilities,\u00a0we are able to take charge of our carbon footprint and take steps to reduce our impact on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Spanning all areas of manufacturing,\u00a0we\u2019re continually looking for new ways to further decrease our material, water and energy waste, as well as our CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0output. It\u2019s these constant efforts that make LELO\u2019s products both the finest and the greenest pleasure objects in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Enjoy 15% off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LELO.com<\/a> with code <span style=\"color: #800080;\">VOLONTE15<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of Earth Day, we\u2019d thought we\u2019d share the top five ways LELO keeps it green and clean for dear old Mother Earth. 1.
