CHEYENNE, Wyo.—Making its bid for publicity today is a new line of personal lubricants called PurPlay. The products are marketed by Keys, a brand that is part of the Wyoming-based Orion Learning Intl, Inc. The company uses herbal extract blends and vegan oils to “create fun personal lubricants that either stimulate, relax or heighten the sexual experience.”
The line includes three formulas, all of which the company asserts are “based on the science of stimulating a woman’s pleasure receptors.” But the company's co-founders hasten to add that the lubes will also enhance “the intimate play experience for men.” And they play well with condoms.
PurPlay comes in three versions:
- PurPlay Classic provides superior lubrication improving intimate experiences for both women and men.
- PurPlay Surf relaxes and calms so women can enjoy intimate play.
- PurPlay Astra stimulates her pleasure receptors for erotic play.
Keys CEO Wendy Steele explains, “Over the years, we have had many requests from our female customers to produce a natural personal lubricant that puts fun back into sex. Four years of research led us to the conclusion that sex has lost its basic purpose to just have fun in bed.”
From that research, the Keys team gleaned a lot of information. “We also learned that one product does NOT fit all,” Steele continues. “Hectic lifestyles, personal preferences and different perceptions around intimacy revealed a need for three distinct types of lubricants for women. So we challenged our engineers to discover natural ways to heighten the sexual experience for both women and men. We created a version that enhances long sessions of play, a version that relaxes and calms, and a third product that provides an extremely stimulating erotic experience.”
The PurPlay team also makes the point that the lubricants do not include numbing chemicals to desensitize or stimulate. Keys CTO Bob Root offered, “Major brands of personal lubricants are anything but natural and often use menthol and lidocaine to either stimulate or desensitize. Many women experience pain, burning or lose total sensation with those products. We first had to study female core pleasure nerve receptors to understand the effect we wanted to create. Making adjustments based on feedback from our alpha testers, we created whole herb extracts using modern techniques. With just the correct combination and proportion of ancient aboriginal herbs, we believe we have the right formulas to create the basis for experiences women want. They are added to a blend of a specially refined MCT coconut oil and avocado oil. All are 100 percent natural, vegan, gluten-free and petroleum-free.”
Root continued, “We created a base oil blend that lasts long and is very lubricating while heightening the sexual experience. For the relaxing formula, we add an herbal extract blend that offers overall calming and relaxation to enjoy intimacy without desensitizing. The third formula offers an erotic stimulation that can last through multiple orgasms.”
Describing the reactions of test subjects, Root said that some expressed concerns that they would not be able to use a vegan oil lube with condoms. “I said, that is just nuts! We have tested our PurPlay lubricants on latex and all other synthetic materials used in the manufacturing of condoms with no notable problems. FUD [Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt Marketing), urban myth or a generalization that oils do not play well with condoms is not an issue with PurPlay because we do not use mineral oils based on petroleum.”
However, Root said, “We recommend testing your condom of choice with PurPlay to be sure. So, we are offering free evaluation samples to condom manufacturers for their own certification.” (For more on the subject, click here.) https://pur-play.com/purplay-condom-fun/
The delivery method for PurPlay also stands out. The products come in a 30ml airless sprayer. Steele noted, “Most personal lubricants are liquid, in a tube, need to be warmed and are messy. Not only did we create three functional personal lubricants, we revolutionized how they are applied and feel. We employ an airless spray mist bottle to dispense a lubricant that feels warm, no cold shock. Because it is airless, it can spray at any angle. It fits comfortably in the hand and is intuitive to use even in the dark. PurPlay is long lasting and can be sprayed as often as desired. The ingredients are compatible with all sorts of sex toy play.”
The PurPlay team recommends that users incorporate PurPlay Surf or Astra into foreplay, allowing five minutes for herbal effects to take place before intense play. Testers found that they like the choice of three different products. After a hectic day, PurPlay Surf relaxes and calms. PurPlay Astra offers her an erotic experience when a planned encounter or spontaneous play presents itself. PurPlay Classic provides long-lasting superior lubrication for extended intimate play.
Steele shared one caveat: “PurPlay testers did expose some interesting side effects. PurPlay Astra testers offered that they sometimes got the ‘giggles.’ PurPlay Surf users found that they wanted more cuddle time, and PurPlay Classic users coined the phrase ‘Affectionitus’ for wanting more!”
