Body Rights are fundamentally about the freedom of all people to be, to choose and enjoy:
The freedom to be – The right to express yourself and your sexuality and to make independent decisions about your life. One person’s freedom must never impinge on another’s freedom.
The freedom to choose – The right to choose whether and with whom one’s sexuality is to be shared. A person’s choice must never be coerced.
The freedom to enjoy – The right to enjoy yourself. A person’s enjoyment must never be at the expense of another person’s right to choose and enjoy themselves.
Your purchase from RFSU helps us to be pioneers
When you buy a condom, a lubricant or any other product from RFSU, you’re not just doing something good for yourself. The profits from the sale of RFSU products have a higher purpose and create change far beyond the Nordic region!
Your purchase helps RFSU to improve equality in society, to highlight racism as an obstacle to equal care and to work to ensure that the needs of, for example, people with disabilities are met.
Today, RFSU has some 40 partners in over twenty countries and your purchase of RFSU’s products allows RFSU to continue to be pioneers.
RFSU AB is a for-profit company that gives RFSU (the Swedish Association for Sexual Education) the security to independently carry out its work, no matter how controversial the issues may be perceived.
“Having our own funding gives us courage and security. We have an opportunity to try out new things and step up activities that are not prioritized by anyone else and that need financial resources”, says Lina Fridén, RFSU’s President.
Here’s 7 examples of what the profits from RFSU AB’s sales contributes to:
Your purchase from RFSU provides sexual education to young people in Cambodia
For over a decade, RFSU has partnered with organizations in Cambodia working to increase access to sexuality education and reduce the stigma associated with abortion and discrimination against homosexuals. For example, RFSU has contributed to the recent inclusion of sexuality education as a compulsory subject in the school curriculum. Read more about the rise of sexuality education in Cambodia and the work that needs to be done for LGBT rights here. Thank you for making it possible!
Your purchase from RFSU influences sexual and reproductive rights in the EU and UN
RFSU is part of advocacy networks working within the EU– och UN– system to influence international agreements on sexual and reproductive rights. RFSU also works with organizations in Brussels, Geneva and New York. Thank you for making it possible!
Your purchase from RFSU can give someone a safe abortion in Ghana
In Ghana, few people have access to sex education in school or clinics where you can get tested for STD’s. Abortion is only allowed in cases of danger to the woman’s health and life, and access is severely restricted, especially for those living in poverty. Sexual rights violations are widespread and homosexuality is illegal. But change is possible! RFSU supports organizations working to increase access to abortion rights and to make sex education compulsory in the school curriculum.
How your purchase from RFSU can support an LGBTI person in Bolivia
The Bolivian constitution recognizes sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), but access to both sex education and abortion rights is still limited. The constitution also states that it is forbidden to discriminate against LGBTI people, but at the same time there is widespread discrimination in both society and in the constitution where, for example, marriage is reserved for only men and women. RFSU therefore supports several organizations working to enforce the legislation in practice, by training civil servants and judges responsible for applying existing laws regarding SRHR. Thank you for making this possible!
How your purchase from RFSU can decrease maternal mortality in Kenya
Despite strong economic development in Kenya, large parts of the population live in poverty. Abortion is not allowed and homosexuality is illegal. Maternal mortality is high and access to sexual and reproductive health services is poor, especially in rural areas and urban slums. RFSU works with several organizations in Kenya that are fighting for change! Here you can read more about RFSU’s partner organizations that run shelters for survivors of sexual abuse, support girls who have become unintentionally pregnant and LGBTQ-led refugee organizations.
Your purchase from RFSU can help prevent child marriage in Sri Lanka
Muslims are a vulnerable group in Sri Lanka, where the economic crisis has led politicians to pit different groups against each other. RFSU is working with several organizations in Sri Lanka to change this! For example, one organization produces homemade sanitary pads, which have become an entry point for talking about sexuality and relationships in schools and mosques. Creating the conditions for sex education talks can ultimately prevent child marriage. Thank you for making this possible!
Your purchase from RFSU decriminalized abortion in Mexico
Unsafe abortions are carried out in many parts of the world where abortion rights do not exist. In Mexico, for example, half a million unsafe abortions were performed each year, resulting in 2,000 deaths, before the Mexican Supreme Court decriminalized abortion in 2023! Thanks to RFSU’s partner organization in Mexico, which fought for the decriminalization of abortion for a long time, all health care facilities in 32 states must now offer the option of abortion. RFSU’s partner organizations expect abortion care to be available in public hospitals and other health facilities in the future. Thank you for making it possible!
A condom from RFSU contributes to The Freedom Of Every Body
RFSU supports organizations in Bolivia, Cambodia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia and Sri Lanka, as well as regional networks in Asia and Central America working for the sexual and reproductive rights of all.

The most important thing for most people is that the condom fits well and is easy to put on. Most people feel that a shaped condom fits better than a completely straight one, while the straight ones can be somewhat easier to roll on.
Choose a condom that fits as well as possible in size when erect. We provide measurements for all our condoms and the main thing you should look for is a suitable length and girth.
Sensitive and Grande XL are the largest condoms in terms of size, although they have slightly different shapes and properties, and Tight is the smallest and tightest.
A thin condom gives a more close-to-the-skin feeling, which many appreciate. The very thinnest of our condoms is called Beyond Thin.
Certain condoms also have a specific property, like taste for example, or texture.
Condoms should preferably be stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing condoms in direct sunlight and high temperatures, as this causes the material to age faster. Condoms are less sensitive to the cold, so if you happen to forget a packet outside in freezing temperatures overnight, it’s no problem.
All condoms except 17006, have a 100% silicone-based lubricant without animal additives. The silicone therefore contains no additives such as glycerin.
Silicone lubricant on condoms means that they do not dry out in the package and that they are easier to roll on.
It can be difficult to choose the right kind of lubricant, because there are many different variants to choose from. The two most common types are water-based or silicone-based. The silicone-based lubricant gives a very silky feel and is usually more expensive than the water-based lubricant. Both water-based and silicone-based lubricants can be used perfectly for both latex condoms and condoms made of polyurethane plastic. Water-based lubricant is jelly-like in consistency and is slightly firmer than a silicone-based equivalent. You often need to use a larger amount of water-based lubricant than a silicone-based one. Difficult to choose? You don’t have to! Sense Me Magic Glide is a lubricant that combines the best properties of both water-based and silicone-based lubricants.
All RFSU lubricants are gynecologically tested and do not contain spermicides and cannot be used as contraceptives.
We recommend Klick Supreme Glide. It contains only silicone and no other ingredients that can interfere with your skin, unlike water-based lubricants.
If you are trying to get pregnant, you should have as natural an environment for the sperm as possible. You should preferably not use anything that either affects the pH value or that can make it more difficult for the sperm to move easily or make their way up. Therefore, avoid all kinds of lubricants unless you really have to use one to be able to have intercourse. In that case, it’s better to use a little lubricant than nothing at all – a water-based lubricant such as Klick Natural Glide is good to use.
Use water-based lubricants or hybrid lubricants (a mixture of water and silicone) for sex toys made of silicone. Do not use a pure silicone lubricant as it can damage the silicone surface of the sex toy. For metal sex toys, silicone lubricant is always recommended.
Lubricants provide extra moisture and are good for increasing pleasure during sex or for reducing friction. Lubricants can be used during masturbation and when using sex toys, or when having sex with one or more partners.
We recommend using a silicone-based lubricant, as it does not evaporate like water-based lubricants and provides extra long-lasting lubrication. RFSU sells Klick Supreme Glide which is a silicone-based lubricant and can be bought at Apoteket.
For most people, using lube with sex toys makes it even more pleasurable. If you’re moist enough, you don’t need to use lube, but feel free to try it out – most people find that lube enhances the sensation. When it comes to anal sex toys, we recommend always using lubricant, because the anus has no natural lubrication.
NB! See below which type of lubricant is suitable for the different sex toys (depending on the material they’re made of).
The color shade can vary between light red and dark red, depending on the concentration of hCG in the urine. The color shade can therefore vary slightly, but only a reddish color gives a valid result.
If you get a different color to the lines other than reddish, wait a couple of days and take another test. Should you still get a different color, there is probably something wrong with the test and then we ask you to contact our customer service.
If no line is displayed, it may be because you have not performed the test correctly. We recommend that you do a new test and carefully follow the user manual.
This may be because you are testing early and the hCG level has not yet risen sufficiently in the body for the test to be able to measure the result. Even if the color is weak, two red lines indicate pregnancy, but to be on the safe side, we recommend that you test again in a day or two. The closer to your menstrual day, the stronger the hCG level in the urine will be and you should get a stronger line.
A very large fluid intake can dilute the urine, so the amount of hCG present in the urine may not be detectable. You should not therefore, change your usual fluid intake. However, you can increase the hCG concentration in the urine by drinking less and not urinating for about 2 hours before the test is taken. The safest way is to test your urine first thing in the morning.
It is safest to measure your morning urine because it has the highest hCG concentration.
The area, or areas, on the body that the toy is mainly intended to stimulate are indicated on the back of the packaging. You can also get guidance in the package insert that it comes in. Here in the Q&A you will also get good tips on how to use our sex toys.
A world of exciting pleasure awaits you! Many of those with a vagina choose to start with a smaller vibrator, like Sweet Vibes, which can stimulate the clitoris or the vagina. Keep Me Close is a so-called panty vibrator that stimulates a larger area around the clitoris and vulva, and which may be suitable to start exploring with. If you have a penis, we recommend you try our Pleasure Rings penis rings. It helps some people to keep their erection lasting longer and for others the erection increases and you get more sensitive. Find out what it will be like for you!
Read more about how sex toys are used and work here in our Q&A.
Pleasure Rings (penisringar): A penis ring keeps the blood in the penis to strengthen and/or prolong the erection. Some become less sensitive and can last longer during sex. Others experience an enhanced sensation and achieve faster orgasm. The effect of penis rings is different for different people. Pleasure Rings are available in three different sizes and are rolled onto the erect penis. One or more rings can be used, try what feels best for you. Use water-based or hybrid lubricant (water + silicone) to facilitate rolling.
NB! Use the penis ring for a maximum of 30 minutes to avoid possible tissue damage.
Vaginal Trainer Set (squeeze balls): Squeeze balls are used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, e.g. after pregnancy or in case of incontinence. They can also increase the ability to orgasm more easily after a period of use. At all ages throughout life there is an opportunity to train the pelvic floor muscles to increase well-being, sexual desire, pleasure and the possibility of orgasm. That is because the muscles have abundant nerve endings and blood vessels and are sensitive to pressure. When training the pelvic floor, the blood supply to the muscles is increased which, in turn increases sensitivity during sexual stimulation. The squeeze ball is inserted into the vagina about as deep as a tampon and you should not be able to feel it when you are still or moving. As long as you use the squeeze muscles, the ball is held in place. If it slides down, wash your hands and bring the ball back into place and continue squeezing and strengthening your pelvic floor.
For easier insertion and to avoid chafing the mucous membrane, use water-based or hybrid lubricants (water + silicone).
NB! Should not be used anally as they lack an anchor/stop and therefore risk slipping into the anus.
Keep Me Close (panty vibrator with remote control): Can either be used at home in the bedroom or for tickling games when you and your partner are out having fun. Start the vibrator by holding the button on the vibrator for 2-3 seconds until the button lights up purple. Now it is activated, but not running. Now place the vibrator in your underwear how it feels best for you. Most people like to place the raised part on the underside of the vibrator against the clitoris with the charging hole of the vibrator pointing upwards. This way you can also sit down comfortably. Feel free to try! To start the vibrations, press and hold the button on the remote control for 2-3 seconds. With a light press on the remote, the vibrations increase and also change patterns as you continue to press the button lightly. To turn off the vibrations, hold the button on the remote control for 2-3 seconds. Keep Me Close is a good choice if you have difficulty gripping and holding on to things. Ask your partner to start the vibrator as described above, place it on the area you want to stimulate and let your partner control the vibrations with the remote control.
Natural Feel (warming masturbator vibrator): The vibrating masturbator for those with a penis can be used whether the penis is erect or not. Insert the penis into the masturbator and start (hold the on/off button for 2-3 seconds). A small plate, placed some distance from the top of the masturbator, vibrates and stimulates in a way that makes it easier for people with erectile difficulties to reach climax. Enjoy 7 different intensity levels and patterns. If you want heat, press the button with a heat flame for 2 seconds and a pleasant heat will increase after a few minutes. Press and hold for 2 seconds to turn off. Be sure to rinse and clean the masturbator thoroughly after use.
Many mistakenly think that anal stimulation is just something for those with a penis, but there are also many people with vaginas who are turned on by, and enjoy anal stimulation. The anal canal has many sensitive points in everyone’s body. Many women enjoy vaginal penetration even more when they simultaneously insert an anal plug into the anus. And for many men, stimulation of the prostate, deep inside the anus, is a wonderful pleasure point.
Note! Insert the sex toy into the anus gradually. It takes a few seconds for the muscles around the opening to get used to it and give way. Read more about sex toys for anal stimulation here.
We offer three different anal sex toys – Pleasure Plugs, a set of three silicone anal plugs in different shapes and sizes. Perfect to start with for those who are new to the field and want to explore anal stimulation. The small, but delightfully heavy, metal Shiny Dream plugs can be heated or cooled for additional stimulation during use. Remember to use plenty of lubricant when using sex toys in the anus (see above which lubricants are recommended depending on the material of the sex toy). The More Pleasure prostate vibrator is our third sex toy specifically designed for anal stimulation and more specifically for stimulating the P-spot (prostate). Read more about the P point further down.
Oh La La, Thrilling Vibes and the Excite Me dildo can also be used for anal stimulation. Read more, under “What to think about when it comes to anal stimulation?”

Note! Insert the sex toy into the anus gradually. It takes a few seconds for the muscles around the opening to get used to it and give way. Read more about sex toys for anal stimulation here.
There are three important things to remember;
1. Make sure that the sex toy you insert into the anus has a sufficiently large “anchor” (stop at the end). The anal opening does not work as flexibly as the opening of the vagina – when something is inserted and the anal opening is closed, it is very difficult to get out what was inserted without having to see a doctor. Our anal plugs are reviewed and approved by the sex counselors at RFSU and are safe to use.
2. Another important thing to consider is to use lots of lubricant during anal stimulation. There is no natural lubrication in the anus, which is why lubricants are very helpful and reduce the risk of possible chafing or unpleasant friction. When using sex toys made of silicone, water-based lubricants or so-called hybrid lubricants (water + silicone) are recommended, as opposed to solely silicone-based ones (they can damage the silicone surface of the sex toy). For other materials like metal, silicone lubricants are recommended (they give the best lubrication).
3. Take it gradually when inserting the sex toy into the anus, it takes a few seconds for the muscles around the opening to get used to it and give way.
Can all your dildos and vibrators be used anally?
The More Pleasure prostate vibrator is solely intended for anal use. The Thrilling Vibes multi-vibrator, the Oh La La! dual vibrator and the Excite Me dildo are suitable for everyone to use for both anal and vaginal penetration and pleasure. Remember to use plenty of lubricant (see above which lubricants are recommended depending on the material of the sex toy) and be especially careful when cleaning sex toys after anal use.
Absolutely, there are several! There is also the Excite Me dildo with a strong (removable) suction cup that can be attached to any smooth surface (shower wall, the floor, or a chair seat, for example) and works for both vaginal and anal stimulation. Try attaching the dildo with the curved top up or down and feel which way stimulates you best. Then we have the Keep Me Close panty vibrator, which you place against the clitoris (for those with a vagina) or the area you want to stimulate. You just put your hand on it to hold the vibrator in place. It’s easy to regulate the intensity with the on/off button, or you (or a potential partner) can control the vibrator with the remote control that comes with it. Read further up on how to use it. For those of you with a penis – if you have sex with a partner, he can roll one or more Pleasure Rings (penis rings) onto your penis, which for many strengthens the erection and increases the possibility of longer enjoyment or coming faster. It has a different effect on different people, so test how it works best for you.
Yes, the Excite Me dildo has a removable base plate + suction cup and can be screwed into a strap-on harness (not all, but works with many).
For most people, using lube with sex toys makes it even more pleasurable. If you’re moist enough, you don’t need to use lube, but feel free to try it out – most people find that lube enhances the sensation. When it comes to anal sex toys, we recommend always using lubricant, because the anus has no natural lubrication.
NB! See below which type of lubricant is suitable for the different sex toys (depending on the material they’re made of).
Use water-based lubricants or hybrid lubricants (a mixture of water and silicone) for sex toys made of silicone. Do not use a pure silicone lubricant as it can damage the silicone surface of the sex toy. For metal sex toys, silicone lubricant is always recommended.
Be sure to use plenty of lube. For sex toys made of silicone, water-based lubricants or so-called hybrid lubricants (water + silicone) are recommended rather than a solely silicone-based lubricant (it can destroy the silicone surface of the sex toy). For other materials, like metal, silicone lubricants are recommended in the first instance (they provide the most moisture).
One tip is to put on Klick Intimkräm or another intimate cream or oil when you have finished having sex. It moisturizes and relieves any irritation in the intimate areas.
Try holding the on/off button down for 2-3 seconds or press quickly for one second. Do the same when you want to switch it off. Different sex toys are started and turned off as described above. If it still doesn’t work, it may be that the sex toy needs to be charged with the cord that comes with it.
All of our electronic sex toys are rechargeable and a charging cable is included. The Natural Feel masturbator vibrator has a so-called magnetic charging cable. At the end of the cable are two small magnetic knobs that attach to two similar magnetic knobs on the front of the vibrator. For other sex toys, insert the end of the charging cable that doesn’t connect to the wall socket into a small hole on the sex toy marked “DC”.
NB! On Keep Me Close there is no DC mark just a charging hole, located next to the CE mark. The On Spot Stimulator doesn’t have a DC mark either, the charging hole is 2 cm to the left of the CE mark. It is stated on the packaging how long it takes to charge.
We ensure that what we only use so-called body-safe materials. This means that we comply with set requirements and regulations for products used close to the body.
No, do not boil sex toys, it can damage the material and electronics.
Shiny Dream, our anal plug made of metal, can, however, be placed in warm water for a while to make it comfortable and pleasant to use. Try placing the plug against your forearm before inserting it into your anus so it’s not too hot.
No, it can damage the material and the electronics. The Shiny Dream anal plug however, is made of metal and can therefore withstand being in the freezer for a while before use. Try placing the plug against your forearm before inserting it into your anus so it’s not too cold.
A waterproof sex toy can be used in the shower and/or in the bathtub. If the sex toy is marked “splash proof”, it can withstand some water splashing and being washed off with water, but should not be used in the shower and/or in the bathtub. It is important that no water gets into the charging socket.
No, charge it first and always unplug the charging cable from the wall before using it. One tip is to recharge it immediately after use, when you have cleaned your sex toy (if it seems to need charging) so you are ready to enjoy it immediately next time.
Use lukewarm water and soap, rinse and let them dry.
NB! If the product is “splash proof”*, avoid washing it under running water, instead, rinse with water from your hands or clean it by spraying it with our Eco Cleaner. It is important that no water gets into the charging hole.
There are also special cleaners for sex toys, e.g RFSU Eco Cleaner.
* They can take water splashes and being washed off with water, but should not be used in the shower and/or in the bathtub
Always clean sex toys after use. If they are dusty or unclean when you’re going to use them, you can rinse and dry them beforehand.
For rechargeable products, after each use allow the product to cool down before storing. Store the product in a clean, cool and dry place. Moisture can damage electronics. Avoid direct sunlight.
Contributing to people, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, functional capabilities or relationship status, being able to enjoy their body and sexuality is something we at RFSU work with every day. Our sex toys are carefully selected and evaluated by RFSU experts in various fields to contribute to people’s sexual health and well-being.
We always strive to meet demands for sustainability from several aspects, from environmental, health and social perspectives. Here are a few:
– all products are rechargeable, i.e. they do not contain batteries (except for the remote control for the Keep Me Close panty vibrator)
– we have chosen cardboard, colors, printing technology, etc. with environmental aspects in mind
– clear instructions on how packaging and products are sorted for recycling
– we have chosen functionality on several of the products to meet certain needs of people with disabilities
– we have ensured that the materials are so-called body-safe materials, i.e. we follow set requirements and regulations for products used close to the body
– our products not only make you and your sex life better, but also the world you live in. A world where you are free to express your sexuality, love who you want, and have the right to decide over your own body. By choosing RFSU products, you support our work for sexual and human rights – for your, my and everybody’s freedom.
Instructions on how the products are sorted for recycling can be found on the back of the packaging. The packaging is sorted as paper, the window (in the flap on the front) as plastic, and the magnets as metal (they can easily be torn out of the flap).
Electric sex toys are sorted as electrical waste. Sex toys that are not electric are sorted as residual waste.
Sex toys are traditionally made and bought mostly for people with vaginas, but this is changing as old taboos disappear and views on sex toys change. Our range today reflects typical demand, but we are working towards offering more sex toys for people with penises in the future.
For those who have undergone gender reassignment treatment, a penis, trial cock, masturbators or artificial vaginas may not be the right size for really good stimulation. Many people instead appreciate so-called strokers, which are available in different designs and sizes, depending on how much clitoral growth you have. Find examples of different strokers here.
Contact the store that sold you the product to deal with your return/complaint.
The vulva is the outer part of the genitalia in people with a vagina. The vulva has two outer and two inner labia. Where the inner labia meet is the glans clitoris.
The P-spot (prostate) is the male equivalent of the G-spot area. The prostate is a gland that sits approximately 5 cm up the anus, towards the stomach. It is as big as a walnut and has a slightly rough surface. To stimulate the P-spot, you can use your fingers or sex toys that are specially adapted to stimulate this area. Many people find it nice to have pressure applied to it, either all the time or on and off. You can also do a “come here” type movement. More Pleasure is a specially designed vibrator specifically for prostate stimulation. Our other vibrators, Oh La La, Thrilling Vibes and the Excite Me dildo also have P-spot potential.
In people with a vagina, the outer part of the clitoris (the glans) sits where the inner labia meet. The glans is very sensitive to touch with over 8,000 nerve endings – no other body part has so many. Over the glans is a cover of skin called the clitoral foreskin. The glans of the clitoris is just a small part of the clitoris. The largest part sits inside the body, under the outer labia where the clitoris spreads out in the form of two legs consisting of swelling bodies. The entire clitoris is approximately 7-10 cm – much bigger than most people think!
The G-spot* has a mythical status. It has great orgasmic potential. And it has gone from being just a small spot to an entire area. This is what we know about the G spot…The scientific world now agrees that there is an area on the front vaginal wall up towards the navel, a few centimeters (3-5cm) inside the vagina, that can be extra sensitive and orgasm-inducing. What has until now been called the G-spot, is, in more recent research, called the CUV complex. The name is an amalgamation of the English words for clitoris, urethra and vagina and is a better description of it – namely, a whole area which, with the right stimulation, can give you both fountain orgasms and a new sensation. When you stimulate this area, you reach a type of gland that can make people with a vagina ejaculate, so if you want to try to get a fountain orgasm, this is the area you should stimulate. For many, the G-spot is best stimulated by putting pressure on it or thrusting. You can also make a “come here” movement with your fingers or use a sex toy. In our range, we have a vibrator specially designed for G-spot stimulation; the On Spot Stimulator. Our vibrators Oh La La, Thrilling Vibes and dildo Excite Me also have good G-spot potential.
* The G-spot was referred to in 1981 in a medical treatise on the female orgasm and was named after the German gynecologist Ernst Gräfenberg who, in the 1950s, was the first to describe this erogenous zone in medical literature.

RFSU AB finances specific projects within RFSU’s areas, but also RFSU’s support functions that exist to create the conditions for the projects. Contributors such as Sida also require a contribution of 10%. The funding from RFSU AB is thus a prerequisite for RFSU to be able to apply for and conduct the extensive activities RFSU carries out.
The surplus also enables RFSU to be an independent and courageous actor. The funds contributed by RFSU AB can also be used to start new activities, such as counseling at the clinic, or to test and develop new methods, for which we can then apply for external project funding.
The surplus from RFSU AB’s sales goes to the owners, the Swedish National Association for Sexual Education (RFSU). These resources are used to spread information, nationally and internationally, on reproductive health, sex and cohabitation issues.
The main markets are Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. But we also have sales to other countries such as Switzerland.
RFSU supports organizations in Bolivia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Sri Lanka and Cambodia, as well as regional networks in Asia and Central America.
RFSU works in countries where there is lack of access to sexual and reproductive health righst, where the right to abortion and access to sex education is limited, and where sexual rights are not respected. Read more about RFSU’s international work here.
Quality permeates all the work we do, but mainly in our products.
We are certified according to the ISO 13 485 quality management system. Condoms and home tests are classified as medical devices and in order to sell these, we are certified according to the European label MDR for condoms and IVD for home tests.
While our Swedish production and own warehouse are only operating on renewable energy and solar energy panels, we will continuously reduce our Scope 2 emissions in the whole Nordics. Read about RFSU’s sustainability work.
