Sex Feels Better When It’s a Ritual

Intimacy isn’t just about what happens in the bedroom—it’s about how we prepare and how we care for ourselves after. The TLC Ritual is designed to make the whole experience better: clean before, lube during, and reset after.
Simple, sexy, and skin-friendly.

Before: Prep With Confidence

For many people—especially in the gay community—getting ready for sex starts with prep. Douching is common, but it can be overdone.
If you douche, keep it gentle. Then step into the shower and use
TLC Renew, our pH-balanced, fragrance-free external wash.
It leaves you fresh without stripping your skin or covering your natural pheromones. Think of it as “your musk, but clean.”
External use only.

During: Glide Without the Guilt

Once you’re clean, it’s time for lube. This is where plant-based makes all the difference.
Slick Platinum brings rich, long-lasting glide thanks to avocado oil—loaded with vitamins A, D, and E.
It’s perfect for anal play and longer sessions. If you want something lighter,
Slick Satin is powered by aloe vera, giving you a silky, breathable glide that feels soothing on skin.
Both formulas are body-safe, pH-friendly, and made strictly for during sex.

After: Reset and Protect

Good sex deserves a good aftercare routine. That’s where TLC Lube Cleanser comes in. It’s gentle, fragrance-free, and made for external use only. Use it to rinse away sweat, bacteria, and leftover lube—whether plant-based, silicone, or hybrid. It refreshes your skin without drying it out, leaving you smooth, soft, and balanced.

And yes, one quick PSA: peeing after sex helps flush out bacteria and lowers your risk of a UTI

Why Fragrance-Free Wins

Your body already smells like you. Covering that with perfume-heavy washes isn’t just unnecessary—it can irritate delicate skin. Both TLC Renew and TLC Lube Cleanser are fragrance-free by design, letting your natural pheromones shine through. It’s confidence without cover-up.
