Oil-Based Lubricants: Pros and Cons

Oil-Based Lubricants: Pros and Cons

An oil-based lubricant. Ёska 2-in-1: lubricant and massage oil.

If you’ve never tried a lubricant, you may not know how much it can enhance your sexual life. This hero of our intimate moments is becoming increasingly popular among couples.

Although lubricants are considered a modern invention, it is known that as early as 350 BC, in Ancient Greece, olive oil was used as a lubricant. It's a pity that our grandmothers only had Vaseline as an option.

There are several reasons why you might need a lubricant. For example, if you use condoms, experience dryness in the intimate area, or simply want to experiment and enhance your sexual sensations. In any case, a lubricant is the first helper if your own natural lubrication is insufficient, because sex without lubrication can never be good.

So, the most reliable criterion when choosing a lubricant is the list of ingredients.

Do your research and find out if there are any chemicals or harmful ingredients in the lubricant you want to buy. Many people think this is unnecessary, but 60% of what you apply to the mucous membrane enters your body. If this doesn’t seem like a significant argument to you, then you may not need to follow our advice.

The second criterion for choosing a lubricant is which type of lubricant suits you and your partner. We recommend buying different lubricants from various manufacturers and seeing which one works best for both of you.

There are lubricants based on oil, water, and silicone. In the previous article, we discussed the differences between water-based and silicone-based lubricants, analyzing their pros and cons in detail. In this article, we will focus on oil-based lubricants.

Ёska produces two types of lubricants: water-based and oil-based. These are the most physiological and are naturally and easily accepted by the human body.

Ёska does not make silicone-based lubricants because silicone itself is of synthetic origin and doesn’t have a caring effect.

OIL-BASED LUBRICANT

Ёska produces a 2-in-1 oil-based lubricant that can be used as both a massage oil and a lubricant. This is a great option for those who enjoy transitioning smoothly to sex. What could be better than a full-body massage using natural plant oils that relax and set the mood for intimacy? In this situation, even a hard day, fatigue, or a headache cannot get in the way of good sex.

Ёska uses select natural oils that are specially whipped to create a velvety creamy texture. When in contact with the skin, the massage oil begins to slowly melt, enveloping the body with the incredible scent of coconut and cocoa butter.

The oils are specifically selected for their properties and nourishing qualities. Organic coconut oil not only has an amazing scent but also possesses proven antifungal and wound-healing properties. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, and shea butter softens the skin, relieves dryness, and helps heal small cracks and wounds. Cocoa butter has a delightful "chocolate" scent and is rich in vitamins and minerals.

Ёska is an absolutely vegan lubricant! The lubricant contains no animal-derived ingredients or their derivatives, and it is not tested on animals.

Ingredients of Ёska Oil-Based Lubricant

  • Rapeseed oil is also called "northern olive oil." It is light and creates a smooth, velvety texture, helping the skin and vaginal mucosa retain moisture. It softens, nourishes, and restores.

  • Shea butter is a plant oil derived from the seeds of the shea tree, with a pleasant, delicate nutty scent. It has a creamy texture that softens and makes the skin velvety. Its vitamins, amino acids, and anti-inflammatory properties help relieve dryness and heal small cracks and wounds.

  • Organic coconut oil is perfect as both a massage oil and lubricant. This lightweight oil from pure natural ingredients with a strong coconut fragrance eliminates fatigue and tension in the body. It melts instantly on your skin, making each touch especially pleasant. Rich in vitamin E and natural antioxidants, it nourishes and hydrates the skin, tones it, and increases its firmness. Coconut oil is known for its excellent anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, and antifungal properties, which help gently care for the skin and vaginal mucosa.

  • Cocoa butter, obtained from cocoa beans, has an incredibly rich sweet "chocolate" fragrance, creating a joyful feeling. This valuable butter is rich in vitamins A, E, and minerals, as well as fatty acids, which help restore elasticity to the skin, fight premature aging, regenerate, and repair damaged cells.

  • Vitamin E has a beneficial effect on the entire body and especially on the skin. It is a powerful antioxidant that moisturizes, increases firmness, activates collagen production, and smooths wrinkles.

Oil-based lubricant is considered the most natural. It is 100% made from natural plant ingredients. It does not contain preservatives, which are unavoidable in water-based lubricants. Oil-based lubricants provide a longer-lasting glide, and you don't need to add more during intimate moments. It is a fantastic natural alternative to silicone-based lubricants. Unlike silicone, oil has a natural origin, is safe to use with silicone sex toys, and is completely edible. This lubricant is safe for sensitive skin, so it can be used freely. It is the only type of lubricant that can be used with sex toys in water. The oil-based lubricant doesn't need to be washed off, which is a big plus for those who like to relax in bed after sex. The lubricant does not clog pores of the vaginal mucosa, as there are no glands in this area. Oil-based lubricants are excellent for use with sex toys made of silicone, wood, glass, metal, and other materials, except for latex toys and porous materials. Just apply a small amount of lubricant to your toy and remember to wash it with soap after use.

Do not use oil-based lubricants with latex condoms, only with polyurethane condoms (a plus for those with latex allergies). The oil may change its consistency depending on the temperature: in very hot weather, it becomes more liquid, and in cold weather, it becomes firmer. This does not affect the quality of the oil, but this characteristic may come as a surprise.

Remember, true oil-based lubricants should not contain mineral oil, petroleum jelly, paraffin, or other petrochemical products, nor glycerin, fragrances, or flavorings, as these substances can damage the delicate vaginal tissues and may cause yeast infections.
