Green tea seed extract has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on candida albicans, fermented cranberry extract can help to soothe, alpha oligosacharrides and inulin are the prebiotics that can help maintain the growth of L. crispatus, L. iners, L. jensenii, and L. gasseri (good bacteria.)
Store it below 25C and away from sunlight.
Prebiotic refers to anything that can help the growth of good bacteria
within the body. It is important that we encourage the growth of good
bacteria as a low level will cause larger numbers of harmful bacteria,
which can lead to unwanted health effects.
The Water Based Lubes are recommended to be used within 12 months of opening.
If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately and wash with cold
water. Seek further medical advice from your doctor if further
irritation occurs.
Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to test the Osmolality of
the product due to financial cost, however, we do comply with the WHO
recommendations for using much less than 8.3% total glycols in our
formulations to stay below the recommended range of 1200 mOsm/kg. Our
formulations are also glycerin free and we've been tested and certified
microbiome friendly.
The microbiome of the vagina plays a very important role in the health
of the vagina. Studies have shown that many lubricants that you can find in the supermarket have been shown to negatively affect the vaginal flora.
Water based lubricants are generally associated with less irritations than silicone lubes. They are usually more soothing as well. However, silicone lubes can be fun in certain situations such as extended anal play or water play. Water based lubricants are also compatible with Silicone toys, whereas silicone based lubricant is not. Silicone based lubricant can also be hard to clean off surfaces and fabrics.
You can use it for anal play, however, you might find that for more frequent anal play, a silicone lubricant or a water based lubricant with a higher pH will be more suitable.
Yes it will be suitable for post menopausal vaginas and help lubricate the area!
We do not add flavouring or scent to our water based lubricant. It has a neutral scent and flavour
Yes it is safe for both latex and polyurethane condoms.
Osmolality essentially refers to the concentration of the lubricant. The
osmolality of the lubricant needs to ideally match that of vaginal
fluid, so that the water does not diffuse out of the vaginal epiteilial
cells though osmosis, and cause cell damage. Over Hyperosmolar
lubricants has been shown to cause cell damage in vitro and the WHO
recommends that lubricants should be at the most 1200 mOsm/kg.
Lubricants high in glycerine exhibit high osmolality. and are not
recommeded by the WHO.
Yes, our Water Based Lubricant is safe to be ingested in small quantities.
The Water Based Lubricant is pH balanced to 3.8-4.5.
We sent our product to an independent lab (MyMicrobiome), where they looked at the overall effect of the product on the diversity of the microbiome commonly found in the vagina, as well as the concentrations. For more information, please click here.

Albicans, Linseed Oil contains high amounts of Omega 3 fatty acid
levels. The specific blend of Essential oils are chosen to help you
tingle.
Oil-based products without preservatives are generally recognised as not
affecting the microbiome. Additionally, this product contains no sugars
that might cause thrush or BV.
The Tingle Balm is made up of oils and butters that have a melting
temperature very close to that of the body, so it will solidify
completely or in parts, depending on how cold your room is. The
consistency is naturally temperature dependent (think coconut oil jar on
your kitchen bench) and does not affect the quality or function of the
product.
Please store it in a dry area, at room temperature, as water will cause the capsules to degrade.

stain clothing and sheets and are incompatible with latex condoms.

Why metal? Aluminum and metals have a much higher rate of recycling than
plastics in Australia. Due to financial restraints, we are currently
unable to meet large MOQs for a recycled aluminum tube. However, we have
set ambitious goals to switch to recycled aluminum tubes by 2025 to
improve the circularity of our packaging.
We all have our kinks and so do our tubes.
Naturally aluminium is
much softer and less durable than plastic, and while other similar
tubes often have a plastic lining inside them to avoid such dents, ours
are manufactured without in order to comply with our own environmental
standards.
We made a conscious choice to go with a non-plastic packaging option,
due to ease of recyclability. Unfortunately the only cap options due to
the material nature of aluminum does not allow for flip tops or pumps.
We believe that this is a small compromise for encouraging good
recycling habits.
This vegan, product is made from various natural plant starches, like
potato, and gels such as carrageenan. A small amount of food dye gives
the capsule its fun, bright pink colour. It dissolves best in/with
water, the warmer the better, as the water breaks the bonds within the
capsule. If you are looking to add it to your compost bin, please ensure
the compost and/or capsule is sufficiently moist and kept warm.
