An oil based balm that works as a daily moisturizer and as something you reach for during sex.
Play Balm is built on coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax, with a thick, lotion like texture that sits somewhere between a balm and a cream. It is made for vaginal dryness, which means it is something you can use on an ordinary Tuesday rather than only in the moment. Because it is oil based it lasts longer than a water based lube and does not go tacky. Safe inside and out, naturally derived, and made in the USA in sugarcane based packaging.
Important: this is oil based, so it is not compatible with latex condoms. Oil degrades latex. If you use latex condoms for contraception or protection, use a water based lube instead.
Why you will love it
- It does two jobs. A daily moisturizer for dryness and a longer lasting oil for sex, out of the same tube.
- Oil based, so it stays slick far longer than water based lube and does not need reapplying as often.
- The thick balm texture stays where you put it instead of running, which makes it far less messy to apply.
- Naturally derived and plant based, built on coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax.
- Vulva safe and clinically backed, with no parabens and no phthalates.
- Safe for internal and external use.
- Sugarcane based packaging, made in the USA, designed by women.

How to use it
- Squeeze a small amount directly onto the skin or onto your hands, and rub it where you want it.
- For daily dryness, use it as you would any moisturizer, as often as you like.
- For sex, apply as much as you want. Oil goes further than water based lube, so start with less than you think.
- If you have plant or nut sensitivities, read the ingredient list first and try a small patch of skin before wider use.
Use it for
- Everyday vaginal dryness, used on its own schedule rather than only before sex.
- Menopause and perimenopause, when dryness is ongoing rather than occasional.
- Postpartum, when things need moisture and gentleness.
- Sex and masturbation, as a longer lasting alternative to water based lube.
- All kinds of adult massage, since the texture works anywhere on the body.
FAQ
Can I use it with condoms?
Not latex ones. Oil breaks down latex, so a latex condom used with this can fail. If you rely on latex condoms, choose a water based lube instead.
How is it different from a regular lube?
It is oil based rather than water based, so it lasts considerably longer and has a thick balm texture instead of a liquid one. It is also formulated as a moisturizer, so it is meant for daily use, not only for sex.
Is it safe internally?
Yes, it is formulated for internal and external use.
What is cannabis sativa seed oil?
Hemp seed oil, pressed from the seed. It is used here as one of the carrier oils, the same way the jojoba and grape seed oils are.
How big is it?
2 fl oz, which is 60 mL.
Will it stain?
It is an oil based product, so treat it the way you would any body oil around sheets and fabric.
Who is it for?
It is marketed for menopausal and post natal use and as a lube alternative, but anyone dealing with dryness or wanting a longer lasting oil can use it.
