How to remove microplastics from the air

I've used the same vibrator for five years: the LELO Sona Cruise™. It was my intro to suction toys.

Unlike normal vibrators, they use sonic waves to stimulate even deeper. You can feel the difference (and it's toe-curling good).

When I learned my favorite toy got an upgrade just in time for the holidays, I had to test it out.

What makes it special:

• Upgraded sonic wave tech for deeper, full-body sensations
• Improved Cruise Control keeps intensity steady—no power dips
• 12 intensity levels for everything from tease to toe-curling
• New app control for long-distance excitemen

✨ After 30 days of testing, I'm here to say the upgrade is worth the buzz. I cross the finish line every single time—which means I'm reaping the health benefits of regular pleasure (i.e. better mood, sleep, and immune health).¹

The best part? The LELO Sona Cruise™ 3 is 20% off for Black Friday. Plus, our readers can save an extra 15% with our code MIND15.

How microplastics impact reproduction

Microplastics are everywhere. New research shows that includes placentas.¹

All placentas tested had microplastics—but levels varied based on:

• Age: Older moms had higher levels
• Behaviors: Women who ate seafood or drank bottled water had higher levels

This info joins research showing microplastics in the ovaries and in follicular fluid.²

We know plastic isn't going anywhere. Here are ways to reduce exposure:

• A stainless steel water bottle with a metal straw
• 100% cotton underwear sans dye
• A seafood delivery box that's tested for microplastics
• A powerful HEPA air purifier to remove microplastics from the air
