In the world of intimate care, the terms "moisturiser" and "lubricant" are often used interchangeably, but they serve very different purposes. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand:
Intimate Moisturisers:
- Purpose: Designed for daily use to keep vulval skin moisturised and in good condition.
- How to Use: Apply daily or as needed, focusing on maintaining comfort and softness.
- Example: The Original Velvet is formulated with hyaluronic acid for gentle, ongoing moisturisation.
Personal Lubricants: ![]()
- Purpose: Used to reduce friction during intimate activities, providing temporary slip.
- How to Use: Apply just before or during intimacy to enhance comfort.
- Not a moisturiser: While lubricants provide immediate relief, they don't offer the long-term benefits of a moisturiser.
Key Point:
Both products have their place in an intimate care routine. Consider using a moisturiser like The Original Velvet for daily care and a lubricant for special moments.
