Sustainability in the Bedroom – Handmade Sex Toys
Why handmade sex toys from natural materials are more sustainable than mass-produced alternatives.
Sustainability in the bedroom – sounds unusual, but it's more important than ever. Cheaply produced sex toys from the Far East often end up in the trash after just months. Handcrafted quality products are the alternative. Here's why.
Benefits of Handcrafted Sex Toys
Eco-friendly materials: At Gendoras we use medical-grade platinum-cure silicone and sustainable premium wood from responsible forestry. No plasticizers, no BPA, no questionable additives.
Longevity: A handcrafted wooden dildo or silicone dildo from Gendoras lasts years with proper care – instead of being replaced every few months.
Uniqueness: Every piece is one-of-a-kind. Not an identical mass product, but an individual piece with its own grain or coloring.
How Handwork Promotes Sustainability
Short routes: All Gendoras products are made in Carinthia, Austria. No container ships from Asia, no long supply chains. Minimal CO₂ emissions.
Less waste: Our workshops are optimized for efficient material use. Wood scraps are reused, silicone waste minimized.
Fair production: We work with regional partners who pay fair wages and focus on quality over quantity.
The Right Materials
Wood: Renewable resource from sustainable forestry. DIN-certified sealed, biodegradable at end of life.
Platinum-cure silicone: The purest silicone on the market. No harmful substances, no odor, recyclable. Dishwasher safe. More: Platinum-cure silicone explained
