Lubricants, intimate oils

It is recommended to use intimate lubricants when the natural lubrication of the vagina is insufficient or when vaginal dryness is frequent. Cases of vaginal dryness can be caused by various factors such as stress, pregnancy or menopause. Intimate lubricant gels can also be used to reduce friction, irritation or prevent condoms from tearing.

This is a question that we are often asked in stores: what are the natural alternatives to lubricant?

Well, as surprising as it may seem ... we advise you not to opt for "natural" ingredients to replace the lubricant.

- Saliva is a bad idea because 1) it dries out more than it lubricates and 2) it promotes the transmission of STIs

- Vaseline is a fatty substance derived from petroleum, so we quickly forget

- Vegetable oils such as oil coconut oil, sweet almond oil or avocado oil can disrupt the balance of the intimate flora and facilitate the appearance of infections and fungal infections (especially if they are not organic, without additives, unrefined). They are also incompatible with sex toys and condoms. Leave them where they belong, in the kitchen and the bathroom ;)
