They complement the body's natural lubrication. They are compatible with latex and polyisoprene condoms and are not compatible with polyurethane condoms. These lubricants are medical devices.

It is important to stress that EXSENS intimate lubricant gels are not a contraceptive and do not contain spermicide. They do not protect against contamination by the HIV virus or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These lubricants are not recommended for infertile couples.

Natural lubrication

A woman's vagina is naturally lubricated during sexual arousal by vaginal secretions found in the vestibular glands. In women, sexual arousal originates in the brain, reacting to sexual stimulation and preparing the female body through lubrication.

Soothing occasional vaginal dryness (disturbance of vaginal flora)

Vaginal dryness is the absence or lack of lubrication in the vagina. This intimate condition affects many women at different stages of their lives. The vagina becomes painful during penetration. It can also become more vulnerable to gynaecological infections. Intimate dryness can lead to discomfort, pain during intercourse and even irritation.

Intimate lubricants in the form of gels, available without prescription, rehydrate the vaginal mucosa before intercourse. They can be applied directly to the penis, the condom or at the entrance to the vagina.

Relieving long-lasting dryness

Lubrication occurs under the action of a hormone: oestrogen. Vaginal dryness is therefore caused by a drop in the production of this hormone. There are several possible causes:

• the menopause, which involves a halt in oestrogen production by the ovaries and a gradual cessation of menstruation;
• secondary amenorrhoea (absence of periods) for more than 6 months in women;
• post-partum (the period following childbirth), when hormone production slows down, especially if the woman is breast-feeding; 
• oophorectomy or removal of both ovaries;
• certain cancer treatments that block hormone production.
• here are other risk factors for vulval dryness.

Aloe vera, for example, helps to soothe, moisturise and heal, calming the sensations of discomfort, vulvar irritation and heating that accompany vaginal dryness. To avoid any discomfort, it is advisable to use a lubricant as soon as the first signs of discomfort appear.

Varying intimate pleasures with lubricants

Vaginal lubricants in the form of gels can also be used for pleasure, to enhance the comfort of intercourse or provoke new sensations. They can be edible, like the RASPBERRY (100ml) or CANDY APPLE (100ml) flavoured lubricants, and offer a different approach to foreplay, oral sex and penetration.


It's important to offer intimate pleasure to your partner, but also to yourself, which is why there are so many lubricants with different effects depending on the pleasure you're looking for.To spice up the sexual act, you can choose flavoured lubricating gels to stimulate certain highly erogenous zones that require gentleness and lubrication to promote successful penetration.

The use of an intimate lubricant enhances sexual penetration and increases the couple's pleasure. Lubricant can be used during caresses and become a real accessory for sensual erotic play between partners.

To conclude, it's important to choose the right natural lubricant to look after your intimacy and use the right product to suit your needs and desires, so that sexual intercourse is a shared pleasure.
