Personal Lubricant: No More Big Sticky Mess!

May 26th, 2011

Jammie from The Neat Things In Life blog has not had a good experience with the several brands of lubricants she’s tried:

When I think about personal lubricants, I think of a big sticky mess. I personally am not a big fan of lubricants when it comes to alone time with my husband. Something about the stickiness turns me off.

It wasn’t long ago when it was brought to my attention about all the chemicals put into lubricants. All I have to say is eek! I’ve just found out a lot of these personal lubes contain some of the same ingredients found in antifreeze, cleaning solutions and food preservatives! Are you kidding me? I do not want anything that goes into my car to keep it at a safe temperature touching me in my sensitive area!

But after trying Aloe Cadabra:

I was very impressed that my female parts were not sticking together during fun time. How can I explain this, I felt as though Aloe Cadabra was a booster to help my body’s natural lubricants kick into play. Once it had done its job, it absorbed into my body. This makes clean up after the fact so much easier! It also put my mind to ease and my attention was all put on my husband, instead of worrying about what the sticky mess was getting on.

What was your experience of moving from other lubricants to organic Aloe Cadabra?

Menopause Goddess: AC a “wonderful adjunct to intimacy”

April 28th, 2011

File under “Cool New Menopause Relief Stuff”: On her Menopause Goddess Blog, Lynette Sheppard provides insights and resources to those living with The Big M. A great side-effect of the blog, she says, is the “influx of information about new, great products designed to ease the journey of the menopausal woman.” Lynette shared some of those in a recent post, and Aloe Cadabra is on the list!

Aloe Cadabra is a natural personal lubricant, made as the name suggests, from 95% organic aloe. It’s a wonderful adjunct to intimacy for the menopausal woman (and I just love the name.) We’ll be sharing more about the importance of lubricants in a blog post in the near future, where Theresa Venus shares a personal experience important to all menopause goddesses.

EcoStiletto’s Sustainable Sex Guide feat. AC

February 24th, 2011

green-earth-leafEcoStiletto is quite the resource for “eco-friendly fashion, beauty, lifestyle and celebrity advice”, and Part One of their four-part Sustainable Sex Guide is about preparing ahead of time for some planet- and body-friendly green lovin’:

Conventional lubes are a minefield of dangerous chemicals, including parabens and petrochemicals that can rub your insides raw and make you more susceptible to STDs and yeast infections. Luckily, there are amazing, natural solutions for keeping everything slick and slippery when you need it most. Choose lubes made from organic ingredients like Aloe Cadabra. It’s condom-compatible, contains certified organic ingredients, and is pH-balanced. Oh, and it’s also edible, in case your partner wants to take the hint.

Two Thumbs Up from BarelyInnocent.net!

December 11th, 2010

We got quite the comprehensive “road test” and review from BarelyInnocent.net recently, and knew we needed to share it with you! She covers it all: packaging, ingredients, skin test, toy test, partner test….all resulting in an enthusiastic, slippery two-thumbs-up!

Hocus Pocus…..ABRA~CADABRA…Kazam!
Actually it’s ALOE Cadabra and it came in the mail to me the other day. I get so giddy with excitement when new things come to me in the mail. When the package arrived I was shocked, I wasn’t expecting anything to begin with, but I love seeing when someone sends you enough of the product to share with your friends.

The packaging was nice. Clean white box with just the right amount of information on the front and sides, INCLUDING a very SHORT list of ingredients. The image on the front was minimal, professional and very tasteful. I honestly felt like I was holding a high end boutique product in my hand. After reading the information on the box, I opened it to find a 2.5oz bottle, completely white except for the product sticker of the same image, the name of product and the only other wording says, NATURAL ALOE. So even if my friends or my child came in my room and it was out they would think it was lotion or Aloe Vera. NICE.

I love that the label has the product ingredients of Vitamin E., Organic Aloe Vera Gel, and 5 other ingredients that are all natural and makes this product, Paraben, Glycerin, and Petroleum FREE!! It is Condom Safe, Toy Friendly and you don’t have to worry if you get any in your mouth as it is made with food grade ingredients as well.

Since I have such sensitive skin I opted to use the original variety. Squeezing a small amount in my hand, I did the time test…Basically rub my fingers together until it starts getting tacky. I was surprised at how smooth and silky it was, that is had no odor and that it was not beading up after even 10 minutes. It looked like the product was going to last longer than my fingers could.

Once I noticed it starting to get less silky, I added a touch of saliva to see if it would recharge itself. I did not find it did much, so I would recommend keeping this bottle nearby for reapplication if you are into faster harder sex, as I had been doing different speeds of movement with my fingers, but I am sitting at about 15 minutes before I even noticed. I think a small squeeze on the shaft of the toy or person would do the trick (No need to stop).

The toy test was more successful when it came to longevity. I used the Pure Bendi for this experiment, a wonderful tool I must say. Between the super soft plush of the material of the Bendi and the silkiness of the Aloe Cadabra it was a very nice compliment. Sometimes material can be too porous and absorb the lubrications as well, but I did not find that to be the case with these partners. Several trips around Venus later, mission successful!

Now onto the unsuspecting partner, and like the use of the Bendi it was a fantastic feel. No hot spots, long lasting, and I found that reapplication was minimally needed even when we went for round two. Even after clean up I could notice a difference in the skin locations that the Aloe Cadabra touched, it was soft and smooth.

The only area I have to really give this product a negative word and it’s not really anyone’s fault here, like pure Aloe Vera Products it can tend to get a bit beady. It was a huge issue for me personally, and was quickly dismissed when you think about the healthy benefits of products like these compared to many other brands out there. But for those that really have an issue with beading, perhaps not an intercourse play lubrication for you.

I am going to give these two thumbs up for this all natural alternative to lubrication.

Crunchy Betty Gave Away FREE Lube!

November 2nd, 2010

The French Lavender didn’t stand a chance, but Crunchy Betty knew that the full-sized bottles of Natural and Tahitian Vanilla were meant to be passed along. In her words:

With trembling fingers, I tore into the huge package and immediately opened the french lavender. It smells like running through the English countryside, the gentle wind tousling your hair as you throw it back and smile at the Orlando-Bloom-esque man who’s frolicking behind you carrying a bouquet of flowers and an engagement ring.

But, sorry. You can’t win that one. I opened it. It’s mine.

And I keep looking longingly at the other two boxes full of aloe goodness, but I know in my heart that the universe wants me to pass on the love.

Now, I can’t give you a full monte review here, because I haven’t used the Aloe Cadabra in it’s, um, marketed use. As you know, Fiance’s out of town and … yeah.

However! I will tell you that this stuff is AWESOME as a hand softener. I use it a couple of times a day – just slather it on – and my hands don’t only smell divine, but they’re super soft.

And it worked wonders that one time a few days ago when I forgot that the backs of hands and broilers ne’re should meet. I had a huge burn that is now completely healed (four days later), and I gotta thank Aloe Cadabra for that magic.

I can only dream of the other kinds of magic it could bring.

Oh, Orlando.

Those two bottles have moved on, but keep an eye on Betty for natural beauty recipes, home remedies, and life humor…and who knows what else she’ll give away! (Plus you can still participate in the sharing of first-kiss stories if you want to!)

Wanton Lotus Reviews Aloe Cadabra – Tahitian Vanilla

September 3rd, 2010

We’re excited about this “five-lotus” review from Wanton Lotus, for exceptional smell, taste, feel, and body-friendliness!

Aloe Cadabra is mostly made up of the obvious: aloe. It’s basically organic aloe vera gel with a little bit of organic vanilla essential oil and some preservatives. Does this mean you could go out and buy aloe vera gel to the same result? Maybe. If you could find one without added nasty ingredients, which is part of the whole purpose of Aloe Cadabra and why it was created. A lot of aloe vera gels out there include things like alcohol, coloring, parabens, and probably more.
