MegsMenopause Motion Lotion Oil-Based Intimate Lubricant 100ml

I haven’t used an oil based lube before, so here goes…First impressions: a really nice marshmallow and white coloured bottle. From the pictures I was expecting baby pink, but it is a bit bolder which I like – it is pretty and appealing. It blends in well on my dressing table due to the discrete labelling and minimalist design.On opening this is quite thin in consistency, like any oil. It is made from a blend of body friendly oils - I checked them out online, as I do with the ingredients of anything I use on my skin. I expected it to feel oily as in ‘greasy’, but it doesn’t. It has plenty of slip and slide but it is still very light. There is no discernible fragrance or taste. All good. I decided to try some on my neck, just below my ear, before I applied it to any sensitive areas. No reactions – in fact, it felt like fine facial oil.I used it with a silicone bullet vibrator and it was great – a different feel to more gel-like lubes, but just as effective. It actually feels like I’m doing my body a moisturising favour. I checked and oil based lube is perfect for use with silicone and hard plastic sex toys as long as they don’t contain latex (so best not to use with condoms).The next test was on the edge of a sheet, just in case it stained. It didn’t leave any mark at all so I was happy to splosh this about liberally while wearing red lace lingerie.The ultimate test was to slather it on my husband. Because it is a delicate oil it is perfect for massage, and it is now our new favourite for sex too. We found it lasted longer than our usual water based lube, and had no stickiness. A small amount was plenty for a long and varied evening. Cleaning up both toys and each other was easy – it just wipes away with warm water and any residue is skin-friendly.This lube is targeted at menopausal women, and although it would be a lovely lube for anyone I was keen to test its effectiveness as I have found that hormonal changes can cause vaginal dryness and irritation from time to time. This felt fantastic to use, which gave me a real confidence boost. It didn’t need replenishing and there was no chaffing. An oil seems to provide an extra layer of defence against discomfort. The ingredients are soothing and kind to sensitive skin.
