Water Based Lube
What key ingredients are in the lube and what are their benefits?
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.)
Where do I store it?
Store it below 25C and away from sunlight.
What does prebiotic mean?
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.
What is the expiry?
Water Based Lubes are recommended to be used within 12 months of opening.
What if I have a reaction?
If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately and wash with cold
water. Seek further medical advice from your doctor if further
irritation occurs.
What is the Osmolality of BI Water Based Lubricant?
The osmolality of our Water based lube is 1030 mOsm/kg which is within the recommended limits set by the WHO.
Why is it important for a lube to be microbiome safe?
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.
Is your product suitable for the super sensitive postmenopausal vagina?
Yes it will be suitable for postmenopausal vaginas and help lubricate the area!
Just curious if this lube is condom safe? Both latex and other.
Yes it is safe for both latex and polyurethane condoms.
What does osmolality mean?
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. 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.
What is the pH of the Water Based Lubricant?
The Water Based Lubricant is pH balanced to 3.8-4.5.
Brand
What is Bed Intentions?
We are a brand for modern wellness, here to provide safe, natural, plastic-free intimacy products that allow everybody to confidently express themselves across sex and sleep.
Packaging
Why aluminum?
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 aluminium tube. However, we have set ambitious goals to switch to recycled aluminum tubes by 2025 to
improve the circularity of our packaging.
Why are there imperfections on my tube?
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.
Do you have a flip top or bump bottle option? Screw top is impractical for slippery, sexy times.
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 are currently working on a larger, more user friendly cap that is easier to screw on and off.

performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee
benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. In order to achieve certification, a company must:
