S8’s vegan lube contains a good amount of aloe vera which makes it a great choice for anyone looking for a soothing product. Aloe vera is thought to be moisturising and calming when used on the skin. This is something we never realised was a thing for “down there” but here we are. The extra moisturisation from the aloe vera leaves is thought to aid sensation and glide. We can interrupt that [negative] cycle and give a positive experience and have the reinforcements of, 'Oh, that smells good,' 'Oh, that tasted good,' 'Oh, that felt good,'" she explained, "And it helps to create a more positive effect and a more positive response to sex."

Brandye works with women who struggle with getting aroused, partly because of the negative loop: they don't enjoy sex, and then they have the memory of it that perpetuates this non-enjoyment. Engaging the senses and enjoying the experience can disrupt that loop. The first thing we noted when we saw the bottles from Roam was the braille on the side of the bottle. This is the only time we have seen something like this on any of the bottles. It wasn’t a discreet placement eitherm but the entire side of the bottle. We never think of lube as needing to have a well thought out design or be inclusive but Roam highlights how clever little additions can make a product. It’s completely up to you. We’ve designed our slippery lube to create natural wetness. One pump might be enough, but if you want to do more then go for it! If it feels good you’re doing it right. In addition to any possible physiological benefits, CBD lubes also bring a novelty factor to sex, said Brandye, which in itself can get you more excited to be intimate. "Anything that is helping women to explore what they enjoy and like about sex...is pretty good in my opinion," she said.First, many, but not all, CBD lubes are oil-based. This is because CBD is a fat-soluble cannabinoid, meaning it dissolves in substances like oil (such as coconut or hemp oil). Oil breaks down condoms and sex toy material, so don't use these lubes — CBD or not — with those items. When it came to testing, we had a lot to choose from including natural options, CBD versions and even bottles of probiotics. There was an endless supply of interesting options to try but all of the products we selected were of very high quality. That's why, at Good Housekeeping , we love to shine a spotlight on any new sex toy and wellness brands that come onto our radar, to help you find the best options for your sex life. So, we were excited to hear about Roam, the brand that puts "pleasure", "people" and the "planet" first. Thankfully, despite it being a CBD product, it doesn’t have a hemp smell which can happen. CBD is thought to potentially increase blood flow so it can help if you are struggling to get in the mood. This is a good product for anyone interested in starting CBD for “down there” or during. The bottle and marketing is cheerful, bright and not at all scary or an information overload, so it feels approachable and easy to use.

Since it's water-based, the consistency is different from oil. It made me think of Glossier's milky jelly cleanser more than a gel like other water-based lubes. The first impression of this product is that it in no way looks like lube. The design, colour choice and wording are so discreet that you could stare directly at it and still not realise. It’s completely up to you. We’ve designed our lube to create natural wetness. One pump might be enough, but if you want to do more then go for it! If it feels good, you’re doing it right.

Here, we've compiled an edit of the Roam products that we're loving at the moment. And, if you're looking to invest in your sex life, we think the brand has some brilliant offerings. Whether you're searching for a vibrator, condoms or lube made from natural ingredients, these are the Roam items that are on our radar... Hoo Raa’s lube has been designed for “frictionless fumbles together or alone” with 240mg of CBD isolate added for good measure. Natural lubricants are becoming a huge market as people are more aware of potentially scary ingredients in other products. The Natural Love Company has created a cruelty-free, vegan version that is made without additives or synthetic chemicals. This makes it a great choice for anyone struggling with allergies or sensitive skin. In my experience, CBD lube is a great addition to the bedroom. I feel a heightened sensation during sex; when I use water-based CBD lube on my pelvic wand to relieve pain, I feel more relaxed (and my muscles do, too). No two areas are the same especially when it comes to sex. The pH of the vagina, its natural lubricity and skin are very different to that of the anus. By using the right lube you protect yourself against unwanted UTIs and unnecessary discomfort.
