Saw your hashtag @chemohines. Unless a condom company says their condoms are vegan they probably aren’t. Most latex condoms are produced by using casein which is a byproduct of dairy milk. They usually also contain parabens, glycerin (probably not kosher or veggie glycerin) and spermacides. Non-latex condoms are usually made with animal products as well (sheep skin, etc) but there are vegan non-latex condoms too. I’ve been thinking about this a lot and wondering how these substances affect our reproductive health, especially as it relates to Black and Latino people. We’re constantly having the fear of HIV, pregnancy, etc shoved down our throats but being given condoms that may be just as bad for us to “protect” ourselves. I wonder what the connection between common condoms and uterine fibroids, ovarian cyst, cervical cancer, etopic pregnancy, infertility and other issues is.

Y'all be in love every 6 months & I only been in one serious relationship in my whole life

life is so much simpler when you stop explaining yourself to people and just do what works for you
