CBD Intimacy Arousal OIl

“Research in this category has ushered in a new era of products that help increase lubrication, enhance sexual pleasure and more. We love a good lube, but there’s more to the story now.

There are three main categories of lubricant: silicone-based, water-based and oil-based lubricants. Women produce natural vaginal lubrication when aroused, but sometimes we need or want more. Vaginal dryness during sex is common, particularly during your period, when estrogen levels fluctuate, as is the case during menopause. Lack of foreplay causes dryness as do certain medications. Lube makes sex more comfortable. You typically apply it in the vagina and vaginal opening and on a penis or vibrator/sex toy.

These are the three lubricant categories broken down:

Silicone-based: 

A popular option because it takes longer to evaporate, which is good for extended intercourse. It also works well in water and won’t degrade latex condoms. Always check the ingredients to be sure. Silicone-based lubes can leave you feeling sticky, however, and can damage some sex toys.

Water-based: 

A better every day option. It evaporates faster than other types, so you might end up re-applying during sex. Safe on condoms and sex toys. Does not leave any residue.

Oil-based: 

These work better for women with sensitivities to additives or preservatives and are long lasting and naturally moisturizing. They hold up in water but break down latex condoms and sex toys.

While sex is a beautiful thing that's full of life and light, it's also painful, exhausting, and full of hormonal fluctuations that we must endure, especially if our bodies are post pregnancy and trying to rebuild themselves. 

Different but similar to lubricants, arousal oils are a topical aphrodisiac that stimulates the body’s own natural response. Not all are oil-based, so check for condom-compatibility before using. All arousal oils on the market are a little different in how they work, what ingredients they use, and what they claim to do. Most work topically and externally. Many use natural ingredients such as mint to produce a tingly feel. Others have botanical properties to boost circulation and increase wetness. CBD arousal oils are known to decrease vaginal tension.

There are a lot of women’s testimonials out there reporting that regular use of CBD oil results in a general sense of happiness. There is no finger on the specific, but they all acknowledge a gradual increase of wellbeing.

The changes are subtle and come over time but are life changing. From anxiety to depression to pain management to inflammation-related skin disorders, CBD is helping manage more women-centric issues than we can list. 

Women are enjoying the benefits of CBD-infused beauty and spa products, tinctures, mixtures and edibles for a variety of reasons, and in a variety of ways. Its role within the endocannabinoid system and relationship with female hormones is undeniable.
