To create the best quality, YOU+ME condoms source natural rubber through regenerative agroforestry in Thailand’s southern Hat Yai region, in the heart of the Malay Peninsula. Our rubber is grown without synthetic chemicals—not in monoculture plantations, but in vibrant gardens of Eden cared for by small farmers. In these tropical rainforest sanctuaries, rubber trees grow side by side with fruits, vegetables, and flowers, nurturing lush, biodiverse homes for wildlife and pollinators. It’s a deeper, more loving connection between YOU+ME and nature—rooted in respect, renewal, and harmony.
Love should feel good for everyone. That’s why we pay farmers a premium price and offer long-term purchase guarantees. Through the Regenerative Rubber Initiative (RRI), and in close partnership with our manufacturer Richter Rubber Technology (RRT), we support a network of over 130 smallholder farmers who are fairly compensated at one of four regional collection points—without middlemen.
Together, we’re cultivating a more ethical, more tender rubber industry—one that protects people, nourishes biodiversity, and safeguards our planet, while embracing the love shared by YOU+ME.

Did you know that making condoms usually involves using casein, which comes from animals? But not these condoms, oh no no! They’re way too forward-thinking for that. Made from plant-based materials and never tested on animals. That’s right, fully vegan and ethical! And don’t worry, testing is done very gently, using human stem cells in a lab.
YOU+ME is basically a one-way ticket to vegan heaven. Believe it or not, it’s a fact!
