Most intimacy products are a long list of trade-offs; petroleum derivatives for slip, glycerin for texture, preservatives to hold it all together. Side effects like irritation, disrupted pH, yeast infections often come with the territory.
Slide Intimacy Oil is built on a different premise. Two ingredients, each chosen because it does its job exceptionally well.
Certified-Organic MCT Coconut Oil
The primary carrier oil. MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil is a refined form of coconut oil. It's lighter than whole coconut oil, with no scent and a silky, non-greasy texture. It's deeply moisturizing, naturally antimicrobial, and one of the most skin-compatible carrier oils on earth. It's also pH-neutral and completely free of the additives found in many conventional lubes that can cause irritation.
Full-Spectrum Hemp Extract (THC ≤ 0.3%)
Full-spectrum means the whole plant — not just isolated CBD, but the full range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant compounds that work together through what researchers call the "entourage effect." Applied topically, CBD increases blood flow to sensitive tissue, promotes muscular relaxation, and enhances sensitivity without any psychoactive effect.
Slide Intimacy Oil was formulated with everyone in mind. It was designed with particular attention to people who've been let down by conventional lubricants.
What is CBD intimacy oil and how is it different from regular lubricant?
CBD intimacy oil combines a natural carrier oil — in Slide's case, certified-organic MCT coconut oil — with full-spectrum hemp extract. Regular lubricants typically use water, silicone, or petroleum as their base, often with a long list of additives including glycerin, parabens, fragrances, and preservatives. Slide's two-ingredient formula skips all of that. The CBD component works topically to increase blood flow, promote muscle relaxation, and enhance sensitivity. These are benefits many conventional lubes simply can't offer.
How does CBD make sex better?
When applied topically to the genitals, CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the skin and surrounding tissue. This increases localized blood flow (which heightens arousal and sensitivity), relaxes smooth muscle and pelvic tension, and can reduce discomfort from friction or vaginal tightness. Most users notice the effect within 5–15 minutes of application. You will not feel high. Topical CBD does not enter the bloodstream in significant amounts.
Is Slide Intimacy Oil good for menopause-related dryness?
Yes. Menopausal and postmenopausal vaginal dryness is caused by declining estrogen levels, which thin and dry vaginal tissue and reduce natural lubrication. Slide's MCT coconut oil base is deeply moisturizing and safe for vaginal tissue, while the CBD component helps restore blood flow to the area. These ingredients can support both natural moisture response and sensitivity. Many of our customers in perimenopause and menopause use Slide as a daily vulvar moisturizer in addition to using it during intimacy.
Why only two ingredients for Slide Intimacy Oil?
Because it's enough. Most intimacy products add ingredients to compensate for a weak base; glycerin for texture, preservatives to extend shelf life, fragrances to mask the smell of petroleum. MCT coconut oil is inherently stable, skin-compatible, and effective on its own. Full-spectrum hemp does the rest. The fewer ingredients, the fewer opportunities for irritation, disruption, or compromise.
Can I use Slide as a daily vaginal moisturizer?
Yes, and many of our customers do. Applying 1–2 pumps to the vulva daily can help maintain skin elasticity, ease dryness, and soothe low-grade pelvic tension — especially for those in menopause or postpartum recovery. Some customers also use it for thigh, body or facial massage. It really is that versatile!
Is Slide compatible with condoms or sex toys?
Slide is oil-based, which means it degrades latex and polyisoprene over time. It is not safe to use with latex condoms, polyisoprene condoms, or silicone toys. If you need a barrier method, polyurethane or nitrile condoms are oil-compatible.
How much CBD is in each bottle?
Each bottle of Slide contains 400mg of full-spectrum CBD. This is a meaningful, effective dose — not a trace amount added for marketing purposes.
Where is Slide Intimacy Oil made?
Slide is made in small batches in New York. The hemp is sustainably grown and independently lab tested for purity, potency, and the absence of harmful substances. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for every batch are available.
What is intimacy oil and how do I use it?
Apply a lot or a little, it depends on you. We find that the CBD really kicks in about 5-10 minutes after applying, but you will enjoy the glide and slide right away, so dive in!
This all-natural, oil-based lubricant was formulated to enhance pleasure, ease penetration and provide lubrication anywhere you like, with the soothing, activating effects of full spectrum CBD in organic MCT coconut oil.
With 400mg of CBD per bottle, everyone can enjoy the benefits of added moisture and glide.
Can men use CBD-infused Intimacy Oil too?
Absolutely! However, the formulas for our intimacy product line were created with the vagina and vulva in mind.
Now, when it comes to the guys, it's worth mentioning that the skin on the penis behaves a bit differently. It's not as absorbent, especially if you're uncircumcised. So, when you use our products, the primary benefit you'll feel is that they'll keep things nice and moisturized down there, reducing any discomfort from friction.
While some guys have told us they've had an extra exciting time on their own using our products, most folks find that the real magic happens when they share the experience with their partner. It's all about enhancing the pleasure together.
Are your products free of toxins and chemicals?
Yes indeed! We test every ingredient and every batch of our products for purity, potency and the presence of harmful substances. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for all products and batches are available here.
When do your products expire?
We set a best-by date of 18 months from the date of manufacture for our products. This date can usually be found on the packaging or bottles.
If you cannot find a best-by date on your product(s), please contact us at: hello@upstatemary.com and we will be happy to assist you!
Are your intimacy products safe for oral sex?
The answer is simple, YES! All of our Intimacy products are made with organic, all-natural and food-grade ingredients. While our products were not created for oral consumption specifically, they can be an excellent addition to oral sex.
