Microbiome 101: The Foundation of Vaginal Health

The world of intimate wellness has expanded significantly in recent years, offering individuals a plethora of choices when it comes to enhancing their personal experiences. 

Navigating the Slippery Slope: Water-Based Lubricant vs. Silicone-Based Lubricant

We believe that a harmonious blend of intimacy and rest is essential for a fulfilling life, and our flagship product is just the beginning of what Bed Intentions has to offer.

Introducing The Department of Bed Intentions

When it comes to enhancing pleasure, water-based lubricants emerge as unsung heroes, transforming the experience into a seamless, sensational ride. 

Why Water Based Lubricant? 

It’s a question that almost all of us have asked at one point, and the answer is a complex one: The not-so-sexy fact of sex is that lots of things can cause irritation.
Yes, including lube.


Can high osmolality lube cause irritation? 

A topic often shrouded in shame and secrecy — performance anxiety in sexual encounters can cast a dark shadow over moments of intimacy, leading to feelings of inadequacy, frustration and even fear. 


Breaking the cycle of Performance Anxiety and Intimacy

“Do I need lube?” It’s a question often thought, but seldom asked. I’ve personally heard many a male friend say – “Oh, we don’t need lube ‘cause we’re young”.


Do I Need Lube? Lube Shaming

For years, I forged ahead with unwavering determination, fueled by ambition and a relentless drive to create a life on my terms.

Bed Intentions is a verified B Corp Company, which means that we are legally accountable to ALL of our stakeholders; workers, communities, customers, suppliers and the environment.

What it means to be a B Corp certified company

Traditionally relegated to the purview of men, the responsibility of choosing lubricants is experiencing a paradigm shift, with an increasing number of women taking charge of what goes on their bodies.

Why are so many lubricants made for men?

In an era where environmental consciousness is paramount, Bed Intentions aim to make many small but simple steps towards encouraging sustainability with its flagship product: Water-Based Lubricant.

We set out with a clear vision: to create a product that not only caters to intentions in-bed but also contributes to building good recycling habits.

Acknowledging the staggering amount of packaging waste generated by the personal care industry, Bed Intentions prioritised the use of easy to recycle materials.

We have thoughtfully compared between aluminium and glass packaging options via a business report with a decisive choice in favour of mono-material aluminium tubes for primary packaging. This decision was based on ease of recycling, rate of recycling in Australia, and ease of transport.

For secondary packaging, the company opted for a non-laminated cardboard carton over mushroom mycelium, considering practicality and transport options.

Recognising the need to make recycling effortless for consumers, we also explored various take-back programs. The chosen program allows customers to recycle at home, with added incentives such as discount codes for correctly prepared packaging and a focus on building a recycling-conscious community.

It's important to note that the data used in the report is based on publicly available literature and may differ from actual values. The company exercised caution in selecting values that closely matched the application.

While the report acknowledges the energy impact of virgin aluminium, it outlines Bed Intentions' commitment to transitioning to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) aluminium tubes by 2025. This forward-looking plan aims to significantly reduce the company's carbon footprint and move closer to a closed product loop.

Hello A lube you can rely on. A lube with nothing to hide.  A lube that goes the distance. A lube that’s spontaneous.  A lube that’s fun. A lube that’s safe. A lube that wants you to feel good. A lube that wants feedback. A lube in a league of its own: the world’s first microbiome safe certification.  A lube that likes to explore the spectrum of pleasure and beyond.
