Intimate lubricant
Gel & Smile

Lubricant gel is used to increase comfort during intimate relations or when using medical devices such as the Emy pelvic floor probe, by compensating for the lack of natural hydration to prevent friction and irritation. The smooth texture of the Gel & Smile intimate gel is therefore a valuable ally in cases of vaginal dryness.

Vaginal dryness is a decrease or absence of natural lubrication that keeps the vagina moist. It creates a sensation of a “dry” vagina. This is a common issue that can occur at any age and varies in severity from one woman to another. It is particularly frequent during hormonal changes related to menopause, postpartum, or the menstrual cycle.

Vaginal dryness can be relieved mainly through regular external hydration using gentle, fragrance-free products. For immediate and long-lasting comfort, using a water-based intimate lubricant with a pH-balanced formula is essential, especially during intercourse or pelvic floor training. If symptoms persist, always consult your gynecologist or doctor to determine the cause and the most appropriate treatment.

Pelvic floor training can help with intimate dryness because it allows you to:

• Increase blood flow to the pelvic area: Muscle work and pelvic massages promote blood circulation, which better nourishes vaginal tissues and can support natural lubrication.
• Improve pelvic floor tone and sensitivity: A more toned and better-controlled pelvic floor can make sensations during intercourse more pleasant, breaking the cycle of "pain → less desire → less lubrication → more pain."
• Help relax an overactive pelvic floor: Some women tighten significantly due to pain or apprehension, which increases burning and discomfort; learning how to contract and relax can reduce this pain and facilitate intercourse, thus aiding natural lubrication.

In practice, some users of the Emy Trainer device report "less pulling," a "feeling of life returning to the area," or "more comfortable intercourse" after a few sessions.

After the age of 40–50, the main cause of intimate dryness is very often hormonal (drop in estrogen), which training alone cannot correct. If the mucosa is very thin or fragile, it will also be necessary to combine training with treatment and intimate moisturizers to improve comfort. Pelvic floor training is therefore a "plus" for overall intimate comfort (comfort, libido, pain, urinary leaks), but it does not replace specific treatment when dryness is significant. Do not hesitate to discuss this directly with your healthcare professional.

A water-based lubricant, like the Gel & Smile lubricant, is the safest and most versatile formula. It is fully compatible with latex condoms and, most importantly, with all silicone sex toys and devices (such as the Emy Trainer pelvic floor probe). Silicone-based lubricants are not compatible with silicone products and are more difficult to clean.

Absolutely. The Gel & Smile water-based lubricant is ideal for all types of intimate intercourse. Its light, non-sticky, and odorless texture ensures smooth comfort without leaving a greasy feeling. As it is latex-compatible, you can safely use it with condoms. It’s perfect for enhancing comfort and pleasure, whether alone or with a partner.

Yes, and it is even highly recommended! Using a water-based lubricant greatly facilitates the insertion of Emy Trainer. It minimizes any friction or discomfort and makes the rehabilitation exercises much more comfortable and smooth. Just a small amount is enough to ensure a pleasant and effortless experience.

Yes, this is actually an essential point for maintaining intimate health. The Gel & Smile lubricant gel is specifically formulated to have an appropriate pH (slightly acidic, usually between 4 and 7), which corresponds to the natural balance of the vagina. Respecting this pH helps prevent irritation and keeps your flora’s environment healthy, unlike some products that can cause imbalances.

Intimate lubricants are primarily used to reduce friction and dryness, which decreases pain, irritation and micro-lesions during intercourse or the use of sex toys. They often improve comfort and pleasure, particularly in cases of vaginal dryness linked to breastfeeding, postpartum, menopause or certain treatments. However, unsuitable compositions (pH, osmolarity, fragrances, excess glycerine, irritating preservatives) can upset the intimate flora and promote irritation, fungal infections or other infections. It is therefore recommended to choose a gentle, water-based lubricant that is fragrance-free, contains no harsh substances and is compatible with condoms or other devices used.

Yes, there may be risks associated with certain intimate lubricants, especially depending on their composition. Irritating or allergenic ingredients (synthetic fragrances, certain preservatives, endocrine disruptors) can cause burning, itching, yeast infections or an imbalance in the vaginal flora. An unsuitable lubricant (pH, osmolarity) or one that has expired can also irritate the mucous membranes and promote infections or micro-lesions, hence the importance of checking the composition, date, compatibility (condoms, sex toys, medical devices) and consulting a doctor if symptoms occur.
