Water-based is body-wise: Why you should use a water-based personal lubricant, like SuperNaturals

Water-based personal lubricant is body-wise. Using one infused with aloe vera and Honeybush Tea is brilliant.

Choosing to use a water-based personal lubricant is a body-wise choice.

Not only is it the closest to our body's natural lubrication, but it is the type most frequently recommended by sexual health experts.

While it may be tempting to reach for the organic coconut oil in your grocery cupboard (it's natural and readily available), using any kind of oil, even an organic one, is not the best option for a personal lubricant. Because oils are not water-soluble, they cannot simply be rinsed off or dispersed by your body. This means they leave a residue that may form a breeding ground for bacteria and can potentially lead to infections.

Keep the oils, no matter how natural, for external massage only.

Only Water-based personal lubricant washes off easily without leaving a residue

Safe to use with condoms and silicone products

Application gel for menstrual cups and other silicone products

Water-based personal lubricant is safe to use with condoms and silicone. This means it's the perfect companion for menstrual cups, (tampons too) as well as toys made from silicone. Remember never to use a silicone lubricant with silicone products as it will erode the material and destroy it.

Water-based lubricant will be as easy to wash off from toys and cups as it is from your body.

Water-based is great but 100% NATURAL is even better

So water-based personal lubricants are the best way to go, but that doesn't mean they are ALL safe. Check the labels carefully because even water-based lubricants can contain a variety of chemicals that your body can do without and which may even be toxic.

Even water-based commercial lubricants that do not contain oil may be concerning, particularly when issues around pH and osmolality (Osmolality refers to a substance’s ability to draw moisture out of tissues and cells), have not been addressed. The WHO has specific guidelines about these attributes (WHO recommends using a lubricant with a pH of 4.5 and an osmolality below 1200 mOsm/kg.) however many manufacturers do not abide by these. SuperNaturals 100% natural water-based lubricant contains all the goodness with none of the nasties.

Body Wise natural personal lubricant

Water-based natural personal lubricants are designed to enhance comfort during intimate activities. They are formulated to be gentle on the body, making them suitable for various skin types. Here are some key features and benefits:

• Body-Safe Ingredients: Typically made from natural ingredients, these lubricants are free from harmful chemicals and irritants.

• Easy to Clean: Water-based lubricants can be easily washed off with water, leaving no sticky residue.

• Compatible with Condoms: They are safe to use with latex and polyisoprene condoms, ensuring protection during sexual activities.

• Hydrating: Many formulations include moisturizing properties that can help maintain skin hydration.

• Versatile Use: Suitable for vaginal, anal, and even oral use, depending on the product.

Choosing a water-based natural personal lubricant can enhance your intimate experiences while prioritising body safety and comfort.

If you are invested in a healthy lifestyle and conscious of what you consume in your diet, you may have already eliminated potential toxins and irritants from your menu, so it makes sense to be equally aware of the products that are processed by your body through skin absorption.
