Aloe Vera, this magical plant filled with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties, has been used as a natural remedy and immunity booster for centuries. However, did you know that aloe can also enrich your sexual life? Oh la la! Aloe it’s au naturale, pH balancing, and safe to use around your private parts, just how we like it.

But before we dive into how you can improve your sex life with aloe vera, one petit thing… while aloe is safe for most people, it contains natural latex which can cause an allergic reaction. If you’re not allergic to it, then you’re safe to go on!

1. It stimulates your sexual drive. Aloe vera is an aphrodisiac (i.e. a substance or food that can increase sexual desire, arousal, behavior, performance, or pleasure). A recent study linked aloe vera’s aphrodisiac effect to it causing an increase of testosterone in the body. Testosterone is one of the main male sex hormones, and according to WebMD low testosterone can reduce a man’s sex drive (even though what is considered a “low” sex drive for someone might be totally “normal” for someone else). Also, aloe vera improves blood circulation and its soothing properties will help you relax and be in the best condition for a sexy rendez vous. To benefit from the aphrodisiac properties of aloe, you can either apply it topically on your private parts or drink it as a juice. Always make sure though that what you are using is pure aloe, straight from the plant.

2. Combats common vaginal infections. If you’re having sex, you probably are familiar with terms like bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and urinary tract infections. Maybe you or your partner have suffered from these common but deeply uncomfortable infections so you’ve had to put a pause to your passionate sessions for some time. It’s not fun but c'est la vie. While anything unusual should be checked by a doctor, aloe can help relieve your discomfort. As we mentioned above, aloe is filled with many antifungal and antiviral properties that can help combat these infections. You can apply the gel to the affected area to ease the irritation or drink aloe juice. The juice works from within by increasing the number of white blood cells which help your body fight infections. You’ll be able to resume your sexy time in no time.

3. Reduces vaginal dryness. Vaginal dryness is another common issue faced by people with vaginas. According to the Cleveland Clinic, vaginal dryness can occur at any age as a symptom of many different medical or hormonal conditions, however, it’s most commonly faced by women entering menopause. Vaginal dryness is accompanied by itchiness and pain while sitting, exercising, or during The Act. In this state, even when you are aroused, the vaginal walls do not produce moisture, leaving you dry as a desert down there. Once again, the miracle aloe plant can come to your rescue. Aloe is a great moisturizer and aids with soothing irritations and renewing the skin. You can apply it topically or mix it with water and use it as a natural vaginal wash. It will help reduce the discomfort and keep your vagina healthy and happy.

4. It’s a perfect au naturale lubricant. When choosing a lube, it’s important to know what to look for and what to avoid. Conventional lubricants are usually filled with toxic ingredients like paraben, glycerine, synthetic colourants and others that can irritate your skin. That’s why it’s best to go with natural options. And when it comes to natural lube options, the aloe gel stands out. This gel is naturally slippery and it contains all the properties you should look for in a lube. The aloe vera gel is water-based and great for people with sensitive skin. This also makes it safe to use with latex condoms and toys, as well as easy to wash off. For all these reasons our Frenchie oh la la love lube is aloe based.
