MSP Product of the Week
For several years running, Sensua Organics lubricant (now sold as Sympathical Formulas lubricant) has been my favorite lube - specifcally, the unscented and unflavored kind. The consistency is smooth and only slightly slippery. It is not at all sticky or tacky. And it includes organic ingredients and none of the ingredients like propylene glycol that I am generally not a fan of in lubricants as it’s associated with irritation in some women and men.
What are some of the benefits of using a personal lubricant during sex?
1. Comfort - like if you’re having a quickie and don’t have time get naturally lubed up, or if you’re trying to fit something quite big into something quite small. (why do you think they use lube during gyn exams? only they use tons so it gets goopy)
2. Pleasure - it’s yummy goodness when things get slightly slippery between two people.
3. Reduce the risk of tearing - which both makes for comfort and for perhaps a slightly less risk of infection if exposed to a STI.
4. If you are using condoms, then adding lubricant to the outside of the condom may reduce the risk of condom breakage.
But finding the right lube can be difficult. Some are irritating. Some just feel too sticky. Which is why I love Sensua Organics/Sympathical Formulas so much.
Here is a limerick I just wrote about Sensua Organics. I just did this in three minutes so seriously, folks, don’t knock it.
There once was a lube called Sensua Organics.
It was not as slippery as things used by mechanics.
When used sparingly down there
It makes for more fun and fewer tears
If they ever stop making it, I’ll be thrown into a panic
