This is NOT a deal. They’re currently $40.11 on Amazon and i can get them TODAY. Please don’t lie to us about the “original” price :roll_eyes:

Do you mean the pointless price?

The company headquarters are in Ireland. There’s a form to submit your question directly to them.

Globally in 50 dif countries, so probably in the US.
While the wipe itself is plastic free, the container it is packaged in is plastic still.
Hopefully they move to a foil package at some point.

Aluminum is much harder on the environment than plastic is.

That’s like saying Cyanide is much worse for you than Carbon Monoxide.

Word. Definately.

I’m never going to move to California either. WAY too much cancer-causing things there!

But MUCH more recyclable. Plastic costs more to recycle than to manufacture, metals are quite the opposite.

Because California warns their citizens, by law, of carcinogens? Keep living in committed ignorance, wherever that is.

Not a Californian. Fellow flyoveroan. Good try though.

Good morning! It’s a good day isn’t it?

Most folks are aware that plastics are piling up and cause problems locally & globally.

However, there is less info on the internal effects of plastics, esp on human hormone levels.
A few reports out on viable male sperm count reports drops of 50% in the last 50 years. Currently it’s dropping at 2%/yr. More couples are seeking help with fertilization, but even after a successful pregnancy happens, there may not be enough testosterone onboard in the 1st trimester to fully form male genitalia for the next generation. (shorter perineum/smaller testes/narrower penis)

Birth rates are dropping in the US to below replacement rate. South Korea has more people dying than being born with a falling population now.

Plastics can disrupt hormones, some worse than others. On the plus side, if you decrease your plastic exposure, your levels can recover some. A lot of people are changing back to glass food containers at home & choosing less plastics whenever possible.

Plastics aren’t the only bad guys. Pesticides, heat (boxer shorts help! so does walking & not using laptops in your lap), smoking, obesity and other environmental & lifestyle things also can decrease fertility.

Thanks for this, and also your caution about using the penis pump.

Invaluable really.

You seem to know a lot about fertility and the use of medical devices. I was hoping you could share some pointers on the actual, pratical use of the penis pump.

Have you been using one long? How should a novice approach this device? Are there earth-friendly salves and lotions one should consider?

This sounds like a private message kind of convo.

I feel we might be deprived of an educational moment. You don’t have to read it, but I know you will. :wink:

My first intro to a penile pump was with an L2,3 paraplegic and it was one of the appropriate devices for him at that time. If L2,3 is no longer functioning, erections are not possible. The pump or an implant were the choices most often offered. A little later on, the injectables (using a fine needle, as for insulin) became available as well. Each has pros & cons and the best choice should be made with your Urologist. There is a new topical available as well but not much info as it’s only been a few months.

One question I would ask your pharmacist or primary Dr first is if any of your current meds may be causing an issue for you. Meds for HTN are especially prone to cause ED. I met a really nice guy in his early 50’s who began seeing a new woman and stopped taking his BP meds for a month. He then had a stroke. There are quite a few meds available to treat HTN and your primary would be able to help find one that worked well for you without unwanted side effects.

I believe the penis pump works for a lot of men, but would look for an FDA approved version that is insurance reimbursable and comes with a clinical appt for education, fit and a demo/return demo so you are confident in using it at home.
@labboypro - How was that? Tried to keep it clinical.
