Free Love

Free Love uses a unique Hyaluronic Acid that is similar to the natural hyaluronic acid found in vaginal cells. Over time, the amount of natural hyaluronic acid in our vagina starts to diminish and this causes a compromised skin barrier and dehydration, making irritation and infections more common. Playground's hyaluronic acid has a specific molecular weight that easily penetrates the vaginal mucosa for optimal hydration and health. We also incorporated Vitamin E to soothe and comfort the delicate vaginal tissue and adaptogenic herbs such as Ashwagandha to protect the skin barrier and help irritation and discomfort.

Free Love is both a personal lubricant as well as a hydrating serum. It can be used during sexual intercourse to improve glide and alleviate pain, discomfort, irritation and infections commonly associated with sexual activity and can also be used as a daily vaginal serum to hydrate, soothe and protect the microbiome to relieve uncomfortable dryness, help protect skin and minimize odor causing bacteria.

Directions for use: For intercourse, apply a quarter sized amount to intimate areas prior to sexual activity. As a daily vaginal serum, apply a pea sized amount to external vulva skin for daily and sustained hydration. Free Love can be used morning and night.

Yes, Free Love is compatible with silicone toys, latex and polyisoprene condoms. It is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.

A UTI is an acronym for "urinary tract infection" and it occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, urethra, and ureters. Women are more prone to UTIs than men primarily because their urethra is shorter and closer to the rectum, making it easier for bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli (E. coli), to enter the urinary tract.

Common symptoms of a UTI include a frequent and urgent need to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and sometimes discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen.

Bacterial Vaginosis (we can just call it BV as it's often referred to) is a common vaginal infection that occurs when there's an imbalance in the natural bacteria found in the vagina. Normally, Lactobacillus bacteria keep the vaginal environment slightly acidic, which prevents harmful bacteria from overgrowing. When this balance is disrupted, bad bacteria multiply, leading to BV.

Symptoms of BV include a thin, grayish-white or yellow vaginal discharge, a strong “fishy” odor, itching/irritation, and pain/burning after sex or urination.

A yeast infection, also known as vaginal candidiasis, occurs when there’s an overgrowth of a fungus called Candida, which naturally exists in the vagina. Normally, Candida levels are kept in check by healthy bacteria, but when the balance is disrupted, the yeast can multiply, leading to infection.

The symptoms include a thick, white discharge, intense itching inside and outside the vagina, redness/swelling of the vulva, and burning during/after sex or urination.

The key to preventing UTIs (and other common vaginal infections) is understanding that it all comes down to helping the vagina maintain its healthiest, pH balanced state.

The vagina has a natural self-cleaning process. Douching disrupts the healthy balance of bacteria and can cause pH changes. Likewise, it's best to avoid using harsh products in and around the vulva and vagina that can throw off your natural pH balance.

The pH balance of different parts of your body is important for anything from digestion to fighting off infection, among other essential functions.

The vagina’s pH level is about 3.8 to 4.5, which means it’s on the acidic side. Its acidity decreases as you get older, with its pH level rising closer to 5.

The vagina’s acidity helps protect it against harmful bacteria, parasites, and fungi. An unbalanced vaginal pH level can go along with bacterial infections and other health issues.

Osmolality is the measurement of how fluid moves from one cell to another. Vaginal cells naturally are filled with water and have a low osmolality so for women that are prone to irritation and infections, it is ideal to use a personal lubricant that has a similar osmolality level that matches their own. This will keep the vaginal microbiome in balance.

Vaginal cells naturally have a high water content and yet lifestyle and hormonal fluctuations can diminish this moisture, weakening cells and making them more prone to infection. It's important for women to use vaginal products that maintain hydration, as this allows cells to be stronger and more resistant to irritation and infection.
