GET THE DOWN LOW
GET THE DOWN LOW
Get this, gang: most lubes you’ll find on shelves contain glycerin, which feeds the yeast inside your vagina and helps it really set up shop in there.
Helloooo candida overgrowth and yeast infections!
Plus, they disrupt the pH balance of your precious vag, creating an environment where infections like thrush, bacterial vaginosis and UTIs can develop easily!
Yikes!
Most regular lubes also introduce all sorts of harmful and unnatural chemicals into your body and irritate this incredibly delicate area, throw your hormones out of whack and mimic oestrogen which can increase risk of cancerous tumours.
Yep, you heard me… the big C!
Now if that’s not a boner-killer, we don’t know what is!
What most people don’t realise is that the products they’re using are actually harmful to them in a bunch of ways! And that’s not even just the ones that are obviously bad news…
“Synthetic lubes are momentary petal-plumpers, offering only a temporary lubrication with the consequence of long-term drought. Researchers have demonstrated that the ingredients of drugstore lubes dehydrate and disorganise cells”
— Nadine Artemis, Renegade Beauty.
NO THANKS

Even the so-called “natural” lubes contain some seriously dubious & dangerous players. For example, a killer combo favoured by natural lube manufacturers (not us!) - sodium benzoate and citric acid when combined form a cancer causing chemical called benzene
Excuse the alliteration there, purely accidental I assure you…
but you get where we’re going with this, right?!
And we haven’t even gotten started on the average osmolality of the majority of lubes! Yikes! (WHAT’S OSMOLALITY?)
So as you can probably tell, it’s pretty important to make an informed choice
when it comes to the products you use on your body - especially lube!
