Lubricant Health Prostate

In the realm of men's health, certain topics often take centre stage, like maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and managing stress. However, one crucial aspect that sometimes doesn't get the attention it deserves is prostate health. The prostate - a small gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum - plays a significant role in male reproductive health, and well, other backdoor pleasures. Thus, regular prostate checks are essential for early detection and prevention of potential issues, including prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men worldwide, with early detection being key to successful treatment and recovery. Despite its prevalence, many men may feel uncomfortable or reluctant to undergo prostate exams due to various reasons, including fear, embarrassment, or misconceptions about the procedure. However, it's crucial to recognize that routine prostate checks are a vital aspect of proactive healthcare for men of all ages, in particular, if you are over 40.

A way to make the process more comfortable and less intimidating is by using a premium lubricant during the examination. Traditional lubricants may contain chemicals or additives that can irritate sensitive skin or cause allergic reactions, adding unnecessary discomfort to an already sensitive procedure. In contrast, opting for a premium lubricant like GUN OIL® can provide a smoother and gentler experience, enhancing comfort and promoting relaxation during the examination.

By embracing premium lubricants like GUN OIL® for these examinations, men can enhance their comfort and confidence while promoting overall well-being. Let's encourage open dialogue and awareness surrounding men's health issues, empowering individuals to take charge of their health and live their best lives.

Regarding petroleum-based lubricants, it's essential to note their potential drawbacks, especially concerning prostate health and intimate activities. Petroleum-based lubricants, such as Vaseline or mineral oil, are not recommended for use during prostate exams or intercourse for several reasons:

Risk of Infection: Petroleum-based lubricants can trap bacteria and increase the risk of infections, particularly when used in sensitive areas like the rectum during prostate exams or intercourse.
Potential Irritation: Petroleum-based lubricants may cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals, leading to discomfort or inflammation.
Not Conducive to Condom Use: Petroleum-based lubricants can degrade latex condoms, compromising their effectiveness and increasing the risk of condom breakage or failure.
Difficulty with Cleanup: Petroleum-based lubricants are not easily soluble in water, making cleanup more challenging and potentially leaving residue behind, which can harbor bacteria.

In contrast, premium lubricants like GUN OIL® offer a safer and more effective alternative, specifically formulated for intimate use. By choosing high-quality lubricants free from petroleum derivatives, individuals can prioritize their health and well-being while enhancing their intimate and wild experiences.

Which personal lubricant is most appropriate for you?

There are three general types of intimate lubricants. You have a choice and determine which one is most suitable for you.

Silicone lubricants contain only silicones, no water. They are the longest lasting, provide extended glide, do not dry out and are also water-resistant. They are not absorbed by the skin or mucous membranes. This makes them ideal for longer sex sessions and for use in water, such as the pool, since they do not readily rinse away. These products have a more concentrated texture and are also ideal in the absence of natural lubrication.

Water based lubricants contain little or no silicone. They have a lighter, wetter feel than silicone-based lubricants due to added humectants, and they are ideal for enhancing natural lubrication. They are safe for use with all sex toys, and are easily washable from skin or fabrics. The consistency of water-based lubricants can range from an easy-to-pour liquid to a more concentrated gel, and they are relatively long lasting.

Hybrid lubricants consist of a blend of water, clear or cream emulsifiers, and silicone. Hybrids are ideal for enhancing natural lubrication, are longer lasting than water-based formulas, and have a uniquely soft, velvety feel. They are easily washable from skin or fabrics, they are safe for most sex toys and may also be used for light massage.

Does silicone remain in the body?

Silicone cannot be absorbed and is naturally evacuated from the body.

Which GUN OIL® products are safe to use with my sex toys?

As a general rule, silicone lubricants should not be used with porous products made of silicone, cyber-skin, jelly toys or similar materials. Silicone-based lubricants are not usually recommended for use with sex toys or other products that are porous as the formula may dissolve the surface making it sticky to the touch, and cause disintegration of the item over time. This damage may create a breeding ground for bacteria. We offer several product options if you have a porous toy, including: GUN OIL® H2O and GUN OIL® Gel. If you have non-porous toys, all GUN OIL® products may be used.

How easily are GUN OIL® products cleaned from sheets and fabrics?

Under normal use, all GUN OIL® products are easily washed from sheets and other fabrics. GUN OIL® Silicone can be promptly removed from fabrics with a strong detergent or a spot removal product.

What does topical and external use mean in terms of product directions?

External refers to an organ that is situated at or near the outer surface of the body. The mouth, vagina or anus are medically classified as external body organs. The key word is open. Subsequently the GUN OIL® products are meant to be used externally and topically (on top of).

Why use preservatives?

Some of our products do contain water. The addition of water provides for a lighter texture and easier rinsability. Water is a natural source in which bacteria can grow if not controlled. We utilize a safe and effective preservative system to ensure that our products remain safe and stable for use.

Do glycerin and other extracts or additives in lubricants cause yeast infections?

No, these ingredients are not directly related to yeast infections. Yeast infections are more commonly related to poor hygiene, weakened immune functions, following steroid or antibiotic use, as well as hormonal changes (menopause, menstruation, or pregnancy). Glycerin can render an existing yeast infection worse, as it is processed by the body as sugar. The ingredients in GUN OIL® products are glycerin-free and formulated to be gentle and safe.
