Recent tests by the consumer advocacy group Mamavation have revealed concerning levels of toxic PFAS, or 'forever chemicals,' in popular brands of condoms and lubricants, including Trojan and KY Jelly. These chemicals, which do not break down naturally, can accumulate in the human body and have been linked to serious health issues such as cancer, reproductive toxicity, and endocrine disruption. Due to the thin skin and high vascularity of the genital areas, exposure to PFAS through these products poses a particularly high risk. The report found that 20% of the products tested contained unsafe PFAS levels, with some Trojan condoms exhibiting concentrations exceeding safety limits. Researchers emphasize the urgent need for the industry to identify and eliminate these harmful substances from reproductive health products to protect consumer health. Linda Birnbaum from Mamavation and Teresa Heinz from the Green Science Policy Institute have called for immediate action in response to these alarming findings.
