Arousal Serum 101: Why, when and how to use
Introducing Luxe Arousal Serum, a clean, water-based formula infused with CBD that elevates intimate moments.
This latex-safe serum is formulated to increase blood circulation, enhance lubrication and ease pelvic discomfort or pain. We’re breaking down why, when and how using an arousal serum can elevate your intimate sessions.
Serum vs. lubricant
Intimate serums and lubricants are very similar but serve different purposes depending on your body's needs. Lubricants provide a nice glide to help reduce friction, making it ideal for those who don’t have sensitive skin to enjoy intimate moments like penetration or external stimulation.
Intimate serums are formulated to work with your body and mimic the natural lubrication your body produces. They tend to have more slip, require less application and provide long-term moisturizing skin benefits compared to a lubricant, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin who are prone to vaginal dryness or irritation.
Ingredients and benefits
We like to think of Luxe Arousal Serum as the perfect combination of our best-selling Luxe Arousal Oil and our Luxe Massage Oil, but it’s latex and silicone-compatible. Our Arousal Serum’s plant-powered formula is made with broad-spectrum hemp and botanical aphrodisiacs to naturally help the body relax and feel aroused. For many, it can help reduce sexual anxiety, heighten sensations during sex and intensify orgasms.
Hemp — an ancient aphrodisiac known to relax the body
Ashwagandha — an adaptogen that relieves sexual anxiety and increases libido
Shatavari — an Ayurvedic aphrodisiac known for increasing vaginal lubrication and reducing dryness
Sodium Hyaluronate — a plant-based ingredient that promotes lubrication and hydration
Ginseng — a sexual stimulant known to promote blood circulation
Ginger — an aphrodisiac known to increase pelvic circulation, warmth and relaxation
Unlike most intimate care products on the market, we give you our clean promise. Every product from our Bloomi collection is formulated without parabens, phthalates, glycerin, dyes, synthetic fragrance or ingredients that disrupt intimate skin.
How
Apply two to four pumps topically to intimate skin, such as the clitoris, vulva or penis, a few minutes before intimacy, and enjoy external or internal stimulation. If you’re using a silicone toy for penetration, apply one to two pumps on the toy for easy insertion. If you’re using a barrier method, such as a condom, with a partner(s), place the condom on the erect penis and then apply one to two pumps onto the condom for easy insertion. Feel free to re-apply as often as you’d like.
When
While you can use Luxe Arousal Serum anytime you want, applying an arousal serum to your intimate skin before and during sex is a great idea. It’s worth a try if you relate to any of the following:
You use latex condoms or barrier methods during your routine.
You enjoy period sex but need something to ease pain or discomfort like menstrual cramps.
You’re recovering from vaginal birth.
You experience vaginal dryness due to menopause, penetration or hormone changes.
You want a boost in libido.
Why
There is no shame in needing extra lubrication. You deserve to feel completely comfortable and create a pleasurable experience during all your intimate moments. Think of the Luxe Arousal Serum as a feel-good formula that’ll help build arousal and prevent discomfort during sex.
