THE 4 GOLDEN RULES TO KNOW BEFORE USING INTIMATE LUBRICATING OILS

THE 4 GOLDEN RULES TO KNOW BEFORE USING INTIMATE LUBRICATING OILS

Vegetable oils are not without any reproach and require some precautions in their use. Here are the 3 golden rules to know before using an oil in your sexual relations:

1. VEGETABLE OILS & PRESERVATIVES = A HEALTH DANGER AND RISKS OF STIs
You may have forgotten or you may have never heard of it: natural lubricants based on vegetable oil are incompatible with the use of latex and polyisoprene condoms because they make them porous. This is an extremely important point to remember if you use condoms as a contraceptive or as a means of protection against STIs. When in contact with oil, after a massage for example, the condom becomes increasingly fragile, leading to a risk of tearing that would be better avoided. It is also essential to remember that some oils seem compatible with polyurethane condoms if applied 3 or 4 hours before sexual intercourse to prevent intimate dryness, but we prefer to minimize the risk of confusion and be preventive by avoiding them at all costs. If you are still looking for a condom-compatible lubricant, take a look at our water-based intimate lubricants or our organic Aloe Vera lubricant and find out in our blog article about the compatibility of our gels with said condoms.

2. OILS AND TEXTILES = RISK OF IRREVERSIBLE STAINS
Did you know that it is important to protect your sheets if you use a natural lubricating oil? Some vegetable oils used as lubricants stain textiles. Be careful, the most stubborn of these stains have an unfortunate tendency to resist cleaning. For the most meticulous or even the rather impulsive maniacs, it might be wiser to choose a water-based intimate lubricating gel.

3. OILS AND TOYS = LOTS OF DISCOMFORT FOR LITTLE BENEFIT
With sex toys, the atmosphere is not really fun. Did you know that the compatibility of your lubricating gel with your sex toy is absolutely to be considered? If your sex toy is made with latex, it is guaranteed carnage with natural oils, intimate oils detesting this material. In all honesty, having personally tried it, having gathered a lot of opinions on the problem, no need to lie to yourself, the results are not very nice, even with a sex toy made from medical silicone. As for the glide, it is rather mediocre and it is really painful to clean. This is only my personal opinion, I will let you judge for yourselves.

4. OILS IN SYNERGY = RESPECT FOR THE VAGINAL MICROBIOME
Pure oils, when used alone, can disrupt the vaginal microbiome by eliminating certain beneficial bacteria or altering the delicate balance of the intimate ecosystem. That’s why it’s crucial to opt for formulas that are developed in synergy. Our oil-based lubricant was designed with this in mind: each ingredient has been meticulously selected to work in perfect harmony. This unique combination provides optimal hydration, lubrication and protection, while respecting the vaginal flora. In addition, our formulation has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it preserves the natural balance and intimate health. By choosing a synergistic formula, you are opting for an experience that is safe, effective and sensual, without compromising your well-being.

WHICH NATURAL, VEGETABLE AND ORGANIC OIL SHOULD I USE UNDER THE DUVET?

WHICH NATURAL, VEGETABLE AND ORGANIC OIL SHOULD I USE UNDER THE DUVET?

Oils for intimate parts ok - not just any oils though and especially not the spicy pizza oil. I see you smiling if not more! But we have already heard horrible things about this, so enough laughing and no recklessness. Before talking about extraction methods and the different intimate oils , know that this article is only dedicated to vegetable and natural oils , not to be confused with mineral oils such as Paraffinum Liquidum or Petrolatum.

So which oil should you use as an intimate lubricating gel? To answer this question, you must first look at the different processes for extracting vegetable oils:
· Cold pressing extraction is done in an approach to preserving the properties of the oil and its benefits. The seed or part of the plant is cold pressed in order to recover a high quality virgin oil.
· Vegetable oil production can also be obtained by industrial hot mechanical extraction. In this process, and for a much better yield, the seeds are subjected to a light hot process before mechanical pressing. This method is more efficient than cold extraction but the quality of the oils is reduced.

· Last process not to be ignored: the solvent extraction method which consists of extracting the oil and/or the various active ingredients from the seeds by marinating them in a solvent.

Cold extraction absolutely guarantees the preservation of the properties of the oils. It is important to know how to differentiate the different extraction methods, some of them using chemical solvents that present health risks and are negative for the preservation of the environment. A pure, raw and 100% natural oil will always be more effective, healthy and respectful of the planet. At the end of pure extraction, these vegetable oils may be called upon to be modified, transformed:
· They can undergo discoloration and/or deodorization to avoid coloring and/or having an olfactory impact in the cosmetic product. They are called refined vegetable oils.
· They can be mixed with alcohol to be less expensive and more durable, catalogued as esterified oils recognizable by their names: Caprylic Capric Triglyceride, Coco Caprylate Caprate, Dicaprylyl Ether…
· They can be transformed by a catalytic hydrogenation operation , recognizable under the name of hydrogenated oils: hydrogenated coconut oil renamed HYDROGENATED COCONUT OIL in INCI name and authorized in organic cosmetics.

A hydrogenated, refined or esterified oil does not replace the corresponding vegetable oil. No need to worry about your health, but be aware that the vast majority of the benefits are lost during these processing phases. It is therefore preferable to use virgin oils , that is to say raw, and in synergy to preserve all the benefits and avoid allergic reactions . A calculation that is not easy to do. Now that you know everything, we can move on to the next step.
