Let's taste “Dzhaga-Dzhaga”

In general, the fact that in our country we have manufacturers of intimate goods, including lubricants, is incredibly pleasing. In addition, appreciate the design of the label, made in the style of traditional Russian paintings: Gzhel and Khokhloma.

Packaging in the style of “Gzhel” – silicone waterproof lubricant “Silicone Glide”. Compact, convenient 100 ml packaging. The composition is surprisingly simple: dimethicone – a silicone polymer that makes the skin soft, prevents irritation and redness, creates a protective cover; cyclopentasiloxane – a popular component of medicated ointments and hair conditioners, as it helps cosmetics to spread quickly and evenly through the skin/hair; dimethiconol – also a popular silicone polymer softening and moisturizing the skin. And that's all. No additives. The result – the lubricant is transparent, quite liquid, without the slightest odor, color and taste (long live oral caresses!), In general consistency is very similar to water – it spreads just as quickly on the skin. I did not notice any wow-effect from silicone sliding, it is rather created due to the amount of lubricant. I don't know how allergenic the substances that make up Silicone Glide are but in my opinion the absence of any additives (thanks to BioMed-Nutrition for that!) makes this lubricant practically hypoallergenic. Given the very affordable cost of this lubricant, this is an excellent option for those who often use such things. It probably has only one minus: you still need to add it periodically, since the lubricant is quickly absorbed, pleasantly moisturizing the skin and losing its main effect – sliding. After use a greasy mark remains on the skin and not immediately can be washed off with soap. Well, I also didn't like the fact that the lubricant is very liquid – this again increases the consumption. However, the price and the absence of any incomprehensible additives brighten this moment. By the way, this lubricant has become an excellent tool for erotic massage! In my case the grease leaks a little through the closed plug, so I had to store it only in a standing position. I really hope that this is a one-time glitch and this will not happen to you.

“Khokhloma” packaging – Juicy Fruit water-based oral lubricant with Baileys aroma and flavor. Such a large package (200 ml), for those who either want to buy a bottle once and for all, or again, who use it often and a lot. Generally in my opinion lubricants in large packages are always more convenient. The composition is more complicated but natural: water, medicinal plant glycerin (has a protective and moisturizing effect), hydroxycellulose (thickener), hibiscus extract (antioxidant and antiseptic – very popular in cosmetics), aloe vera extract (moisturizes, nourishes, protects), betaine (also, by the way, a vegetable, helps to retain moisture in the skin), d-panthenol (healing effect), allantoin (very popular in cosmetics and has a bunch of useful properties), sodium sorbate (preservative), lactic acid (acidity regulator, which is necessary in intimate cosmetics) and a food additive for flavor. In general, the composition, to be honest, very pleasant. This piece of cosmetics contains a maximum of natural ingredients, and no cleverly invented marketing additives, I am proud of the domestic manufacturer! The lubricant itself is thicker than its silicone counterpart, somewhat similar to a hair conditioner – it gives a slightly viscous mark and does not immediately spread on the skin, but upon application it creates a pleasant sliding cover. Since the base is water, it evaporates very, very quickly, and it is necessary to add more often, it can be easily washed with a towel and does not leave any stains or marks at all. The color is transparent, with a barely pinkish tint (probably, it's all about the hibiscus extract). The taste is lusciously sweet, but the aftertaste is bitter, the main taste is created precisely thanks to the aroma, without it, it's just sweetness and that's it (did you know that the principle of disabling the sense of smell is used in molecular cuisine? And that, for example, apple and onion taste the same, you just need to blindfold and hold your nose).

But the smell... The smell is chemical, distinctly coffee, the second note is cream, in general, it is as similar to Bailey’s as possible, but for me it is chemical, not very persistent and eventually flows into something heavy sugary-fruity. I am very sensitive to any aromas, so it didn’t suit me for any purpose – it’s too sweet. However, this is a matter of taste. Biomed Nutrition pleased me, I would gladly take something with an identical composition, but with no flavoring additives.
