Women can experience vaginal dryness or itching from several causes. And the dryness can last for a short or long period of time. This product is safe to use as a vaginal moisturiser, or for moisturising sensitive mucosal tissues such as a protruding prolapse. It may be used to help insert a pessary, dilator or even a suppository.
In fact it can be used anywhere on the body – we use it as a body moisturiser and heel cream! Those people who need to keep their skin moist, such as people suffering from eczema, will find it moisturises their skin to lock the bad bacteria out. It also makes a great massage oil, without leaving a greasy feeling on the skin.
WHY DO I NEED A LUBRICANT?
Different factors in the life of a woman reduce moisture, skin thickness and natural lubrication in the vagina. Common causes are:
- stress and anxiety
- medications and contraceptives
- surgery
- menopause and thereafter
- use of condoms
- pregnancy
- breastfeeding
- chemotherapy and radiation treatment
While the causes may vary, they can all result in sexual intercourse becoming uncomfortable or painful. This can reduce your desire for sex, ability to become aroused, sexual satisfaction and place a strain on your relationship.
Created and manufactured by Claire Osterstock is a Physiotherapist in Adelaide, Australia, with a special interest in helping women and men with management of pelvic pain.
Extra virgin Olive Oil was chosen as a base, as it is naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal, and is high in antioxidants, hence is self-preserving without the need to add chemical preservatives. Both Olive Oil and beeswax are anhydrous, which means they have low water activity, hence don’t grow nasty bacteria, fungi or mould. The low water content also means that they won’t interfere with vaginal pH as other substances can. They also have anti-inflammatory properties and are less likely to block pores than other oils.
INGREDIENTS:
Organic extra virgin olive oil, Beeswax.
Olive and Bee is made from fresh, natural ingredients, therefor there may be differences in colour and viscosity between batches.
