Kuhambo oluya kwivenkile ethengisa iziyobisi iikhondom, kukhuselekile ukuthi uninzi lwabasetyhini luzama ukungena nokungena; Ngokuqinisekileyo awukhangeli kwibhokisi yezithako ezinokuthi unokuthi, ulusu lwakho.Iirubber ziirubbers, akunjalo?

Hayi, akunjalo kanye: Inani elothusayo lekhondom namhlanje liqukethe ii-carcinogen nitrosamines-ezenziwe ngaphakathi kwikhondom xa i-latex ifudunyezwa kwaye ibunjwe ukusuka kulwelo ukuya kwi-solid. Olu ayilo lwazi lutsha; Uphononongo luchaze i-nitrosamines kwiikhondom ngaphezu kweminyaka elishumi, njengolu vavanyo lwe-toxicological luka-2001. Kutshanje, uxwebhu lwezikhalazo lwePhulo lokuCoca ngokuCocekileyo lunyanzelisa ukuba i-FDA ilawule i-carcinogens kwiimveliso ezinjengeekhondom, iqaphela ukuba ii-nitrosamines zidityaniswe nomhlaza wesisu. (Ewe, yikes!)

Idayi ezinobundlongondlongo kunye neziqholo ezicaphukisayo zokwenziwa zikwaxhaphakile kwiikhondom eziqhelekileyo, kwaye njengoko ubucinga ukuba, konke oku akulunganga ncam kwilungu lobufazi. (Kungenxa yoko le nto imodeli uTess Holliday engazange asebenzise iimveliso ezinuka kamnandi kwilungu lakhe lobufazi.)

Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba isityalo esitsha sekhondom brand ezibanga ukuba ngaphezulu "kobufazi-friendly," ezifana Sustain Natural and Lovability, ukutyhala ukususa ezi zithako ezinobuthi, ukunika iikhondom ngaphandle idayi, iziqholo, parabens, kwaye ewe, nkqu nitrosamines.

Apha, ulwazi olupheleleyo malunga neengozi ezinokuthi zibe kho zeekhondom zesintu-kwaye nokuba kufuneka wenze utshintsho okanye hayi. (Ehambelana: Nazi iimpazamo ezisi-8 ezothusayo onokuthi uzenze.)

Izithako ezinokubakho ezinobungozi ezifumaneka kwiikhondom

Ingxaki ngokujonga izithako kwiikhondom zesintu kukuba uninzi lwethu alunalwazi lokuqala ukuba zithetha ukuthini na. "I-FDA ayifuni abavelisi beekhondom ukuba bachaze izithako zabo kubathengi," uchaza uMeika Hollender, umseki weSustain Natural, uhlobo lweemveliso ezihambelana nelungu lobufazi ezifana neetampon, iikhondom kunye ne-lube. "Kodwa sinelungelo lokwazi ukuba kwenzeka ntoni emizimbeni yethu."

Iikhondomu azingene ngaphakathi kuwe kuphela-kodwa kuba ilungu lobufazi lilungu elifunxa umzimba, into efunxwayo idlula kwisibindi kwaye iye ngqo kwigazi lakho, ucacisa uSherry Ross, MD, ob-gyn nombhaliI-She-ology. Yintoni eya kwingxoxo mpikiswano yindlela enokuba yingozi ngayo. "Lincinci kakhulu kwaye likhuselekile inani lemichiza kwiikhondom zelatex ekugqibeleni zingena egazini," wongezelela uGqr Ross.

Okwangoku, iyavakala into yokwehlisa ukubonakaliswa kwakho zizinto ezinokuba yingozi, ngakumbi xa usebenzisa iikhondom rhoqo, utshilo uCainlin O'Connor, ugqirha obhalisiweyo we-naturopathic.

Ukutshintsha kunokukhusela umzimba wakho kwezi zinto zilandelayo:

IiNitrosamines

I-nitrosamines (i-carcinogenic compounds) ikhutshwa xa i-latex idibana nolwelo lomzimba, utsho u-Hollender. Yiyo loo nto iibrendi ezifana ne-Sustain zithatha amanyathelo ongezelelweyo ukongeza i-accelerator yeekhemikhali ukususa ukubunjwa kwe-nitrosamines kwimveliso.

Uninzi lophando lwe-nitrosamines luhambelana nokufakwa kwe-nitrosamine kunye nefuthe laso kumhlaza wesisu kunye nomhlaza wekolon. Alukho uphando oluninzi malunga nokuba i-nitrosamines kwiikhondom inokuchaphazela njani umngcipheko womhlaza, kodwa loluphi uphando ngu "U-O'Connor uthi:" Inani le-nitrosamine, ixesha elifutshane lokuvezwa, kwaye eyona nto ifunxwa zii-mucous membranes ibonakala ingaphantsi komqobo wokungeniswa ngumhlaza, utshilo. utsho.

IiParabens

Iparabens, ekwafumaneka rhoqo kwiikhondom kwaye ifunxeka ngokulula ngolusu kunye neembumba ezinomhlana, yenye inkxalabo ngeekhondom eziqhelekileyo. Ayisiyiyo kuphela i-parabens enokubangela ukungahambelani komzimba kunye nolusu olucaphukisayo, kodwa bacingelwa ukuba baxelisa ii-estrogens emzimbeni ngendlela enokuphembelela eminye imihlaza, utshilo u-O'Connor. "Ngelixa inani lokuvezwa lihle kakhulu ngeekhondom, inani lokuvezwa ngokupheleleyo kuzo zonke iimveliso zomntu zidityanisiwe linokuba phezulu kakhulu."

Izithambisi

Izithambisi sesinye isithako esinokuba yingozi esifumaneka kwiikhondom ezininzi. Ngoba? "Uninzi lusebenzisa i-glycerin, enokukhuthaza ukukhula kwegwele," utshilo u-O'Connor. "Abanye basebenzisa i-nonoxynol-9, into yokubulala amadlozi ekucingelwa ukuba iyaphucula ukusebenza kweekhondom, kodwa ezi zifundo ziye zabonisa ukuba bekungenjalo. Kwaye enyanisweni, inokunyusa umngcipheko we-STI njengoko inokonakalisa iiseli zembumba , nto leyo ibenza ukuba basuleleke lula zizifo. I-N-9 inokucaphukisa kwaye ibangele ukusabela komzimba, ngoko ke kungcono ukunqandwa kuyo yonke indawo, wongeza u-O'Connor.

"Abicah yeyona ndlela ibhetele kwaye isetyenziswa kwezona khondom zininzi 'ezilungele ubufazi," utshilo.

Idayi, incasa, kunye nephunga

Ngaphandle kokungabikho kophando malunga nokwenzakala kokusebenzisa iikhemikhali ezithile, ukutshintshela kwiikhondom zesintu kukwakhusela ubufazi bakho kwiziqholo, idayi, kunye neencasa. Akukho nanye kwezi zinto zisesithweni sangasese kwaye kufuneka ziphetshwe kuba zinokubangela ukucaphuka, ukuchasana nomzimba, ukuguqula i-pH, kunye negwele lokutya, kunye neebhaktheriya, utshilo u-O'Connor.

UGqirha Ross wongeza ngelithi — ukongeza kwigwele nakosuleleko ziintsholongwane — iikhondom zelatex ezipakishwe ngedayi neziqholo zinokubangela ukuba umzimba ungadibani nezinto ezithile. UGqr. Ross ucebisa ukuba abasetyhini abane-latex sensitivity bazame ezinye iindlela 'zendalo' okanye ezilungele ubufazi kuba zimbalwa iikhemikhali kunye nezongezo ezisetyenziswayo.

Izibonelelo zekhondomu ze-‘Organic ’-Kwaye ujonge ntoni

Ukuba ufuna ukunqanda naziphi na izithako ezinokuba yingozi kunye neziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezidweliswe apha ngasentla, kukho ukuthambeka kweempawu zebhayoloji ezenza iikhondomu ezingacaphukisi kangako ngezinto ezingenabungozi, kubandakanya iSustain Natural, L. Condom, GLYDE, kunye noLovability.

Xa ufunda ezi bhokisi, khangela ezinye zeelogos zilandelayo (zonke uGqirha Ross athi zibonisa ukuba ikhondom iyakulungela ubufazi).

I-FYI, elona gama lithi "organic" kwibhokisi yekhondom libonisa into enye okanye ezinye izithako eziqinisekisiweyo zezinto eziphilayo, kodwa iikhondom ze-latex azinakubizwa ngokuba yi-organic kuba akukho mzimba uqinisekisa i-latex, utshilo uHollender. Ucebisa ngokukhangela iikhondom ezithi "azinazo iikhemikhali."

Ukujonga irabha yendalo ekhule ngokuzinzileyo kunokunceda ukucaphuka kunye nokusingqongileyo. Ukuba ubona isitampu serabha eQinisekisiweyo ye-FSC kwibhokisi, oko kuthetha ukuba i-latex ekwezo khondom yavela kwintsimi ekhusela kwaye igcina impilo yeentlobo-ntlobo zezityalo nezilwanyana eziphilayo, ukukhupha ngokuchanekileyo, kungasebenzisi zibulali zinambuzane, kunye nokukhathalela imithi. (Ewe, i-latex ivela emithini.)

Ke, ngaba ngenene uyafuna ukusebenzisa iikhondom ze-Organic?

Ekupheleni kosuku, ukuba umbuzo ngowekhondomu okanye akukho khondom, ukhetho olusempilweni luza kuba yikhondom ezaliswe ngamachiza ngalo lonke ixesha, kuba ukusebenzisa iikhondom yeyona ndlela isebenzayo kubantu abasebenza ngokwesondo ukunciphisa umngcipheko we-STIs Ngelixa kuthintela ukukhulelwa. (Kwaye zonke iikhondom zisempilweni kwilungu lakho lobufazi kuba zikhusela ubufazi bakho kwisidoda, esinokutshintsha ipH yakho yelungu lobufazi.)

Nangona kunjalo, ukuba unohlahlo-lwabiwo mali (umahluko umalunga ne- $ 2 ngaphezulu ukusuka kwiikhondomu ezinamagama asemagqabini kukhetho lobufazi) kunye nokubona kwangaphambili ukukhetha iikhondom ezisebenza ngokulinganayokwaye yenziwe ngaphandle kwezongezo ezinokuba yingozi, kuya kufuneka wenze impazamo kwicala lokulumkisa, utshilo u-O'Connor. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ukuba sithetha ngokwabelana ngesondo ngokukhuselekileyo, ngaphandle kwamachiza kuthatha "ukukhusela" inyathelo eliya phambili.

Okukwintsusa: Masiqale ukukhupha iiglasi zethu zokufunda phambi kwendlela yeekhondom, sibuze iinkampani ukuba ngaba izithako zazo zikhuselekile kwilungu lobufazi (ubufazi abulilo igama elisisibhengezo), ukuvota ngeedola zethu zokuthenga, kunye nokuthwala iirubber ezisenza sizive kakhulu amandla.
