Liquid Silk Personal Lubricant 250 ml - Pack of 2

Product Information

Yes. Absolutely. Sylk has been subject to thorough product testing and has passed all condom compatability testing. Sylk is a water based lubricant made with natural ingredients with no chemicals whatsoever so it is perfectly safe to use with tampons, condoms and sex toys. In fact, the unique feel of Sylk enhances sensitivity which is especially good when using condoms. As latex sensitivity can be increased with friction, extra lubricant should always be used with condoms - we would recommend that you put a drop inside the tip of the condom and then massage plenty on the outside. Sylk has a ph balance of 4.5 - 4.7, similar to the normal vaginal environment i.e. slightly acidic. This is deliberate to keep the vagina healthy. I've recently come off HRT and also have started taking Arimidex as I've had breast cancer. This has all left me very dry.......is Sylk safe for me to use? Sylk is both a lubricant and a moisturiser so can be used on a daily basis if your vagina is always dry. Simply apply a few drops every day. Sylk is tasteless and odourless and contains all natural ingredients so is fine for oral sex as well. It is also safe to use with condoms. It may help to start applying a few drops every day so that you feel more comfortable and confident when you have sex. You should not use any lubricant including Sylk if you are trying to conceive. The ph balance of Sylk (like most other lubricants) can affect the movement of sperm. When ovulation occurs, the ph balance in the vagina changes to around 7 which is a neutral ph state when pregnancy can occur.

A word of warning: natural oils (like coconut oil) and oil-based lubes may have the right consistency, but they can erode latex, which is why Sinclair says to avoid using coconut oil or almond oil when using condoms. If you're using sex toys, she also suggests avoiding silicone-based lubes with sex toys. "Using silicone lube on a silicone sex toy can cause bending, warping, and the ruin of a toy," says Sinclair "Use a high-quality, water-based lubricant instead." Many women will present with symptoms that they do not recognise as vaginal dryness, confusing the issue with thrush or cystitis. Sylk is widely prescribed for menopausal women but can also be used safely by all women suffering with dryness and discomfort. Sylk is absolutely fine for oral and anal sex. It is made from natural ingredients and mimics a womans natural secretions. It is tasteless, colourless, odourless and non greasy so should feel quite natural. Don't be afraid to reapply "as soon as it seems like it's drying out and there's more friction," Vrangalova adds. "Keep the lines of communication with the receptive partner open. Encourage them to let you know when they feel more is necessary." Sylk natural lubricant feels just like your own lubrication and as it feels so good, actually helps stimulate your body to produce more. Your partner may not even know you're using it, unless you tell him. Because of the exciting feel, Sylk can actually enhance a man's erection and experience.

With dental dams: Dental dams are soft plastic latex or polyurethane square, which is used to cover the female genital area, or anus, during oral sex to prevent STIs being transmitted. Using these with lube on the vulva/anus-touching side will make the experience much more pleasurable. Make sure to use a water-based lube to avoid breakage. With condoms: Condoms are usually lubricated, but with intense and/or long-lasting sex, the lubrication will dry out. And a dry condom breaks very easily… so a condom is only as effective as the extra lube you’ll add to it – just make sure you use a water-based lube as an oil-based lube could cause the condom to break.

Sylk is very simple and easy to use. Just prior to intercourse put a small amount on to your finger tip and apply this to the entrance to your vagina. It would be even more effective if you pushed a little inside. You could also apply some to your partners' penis, which would then lubricate you entirely. Not to be confused with lubricants used by your local garage, the lubes we're obsessed with are the ones used for sexual pleasure and comfort. To get real basic, lube is a liquid that applied to the genitals or anus to make penetrative sex comfier and more pleasurable by reducing friction.

Everyone's needs are different, so use trial and error to determine the exact quantity. Usually 2-3 drops is sufficient. With Sylk a little goes a long way. However, it is perfectly safe to use the whole bottle in one night if you wish. There are approximately 75-150 uses per 40g bottle. Sylk is highly effective at relieving atrophic vaginitis.

These are commonly found in cosmetics, shampoos, skin creams and lubricants (although not in Sylk natural lubricant). Some scientists believe that parabens can be absorbed and the body mistakes them for oestrogen. This can be dangerous for some people with cancer.
