MID-LIFE MUST-HAVES

We all need these items at some point... GLISSANT Founder Renée Garacochea    With over 33 years of experience in the beauty industry, I frequently receive inquiries about my favorite go-to products. Today, I'm excited to share some of the products I genuinely believe in and adore!   - Renée -  ROMANCE AND RELATIONSHIPS YOUR DATE NIGHT ESSENTIALS Euphoria Trio | HUILE D’AMOUR Oil Of Love from GLISSANT I CAN'T SEE... These eyeglasses are my absolute favorite new obsession. I won’t lie—they're pricey but worth every penny. They’re from a brand called SALT, known for their sunglasses. I had the dark lenses swapped for my prescription with transitions. What I love most is that I don’t have to carry both eyeglasses and sunglasses—they do it all! Definitely makes life a lot easier. CLEAN ME ALREADY! I don’t know about you, but my glasses are always dirty... and I have no idea how! These Peeps are a game-changer! They’re super easy to use, compact, and clean better than anything I’ve tried before. Thanks for the tip, Jerry & Colleen! YOUR PEARLY WHITES I came across this toothbrush on Instagram and decided to give it a shot—and I love it! It has four different speeds, including a whitening mode. Just be careful with the back of the brush since it’s a bit hard, but it really does whiten your teeth. Plus, it looks super cool! HOT OR COLD I'M SOLD! I don’t know about you, but I’m a stickler for keeping my coffee hot and my cocktails cold—YETI is my go-to solution! I love their cups so much that I even had one custom-made with the GLISSANT logo. I take it everywhere with me, and it’s always easy to spot which one is mine! IN MEMORY OF MY SWEET GIA She had the soul of an angel, my four-legged gift of pure love and light. Every day, her absence is felt deeply, especially by her younger brother, Monkey, who seems lost without her by his side. Good night, my sweet girl. November 27, 2008 – September 9, 2024. A YEAR-LONG THOUGHTFUL GIFT Losing a pet is incredibly painful, but sometimes you receive a thoughtful, personalized gift that brings comfort. The "G" flower box I received not only smells amazing but also lasts an entire year (which is mind-blowing). It's from a company called Venus Et Fleur. Thank you, Jen & Greg! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT SENT LOVING NOTES, CARDS AND FLOWERS!

Why Foreplay is Just as Important as the Sex

Why Foreplay is Just as Important as the Sex

Foreplay is often seen as a warm-up to sex, but it’s much more than that—it’s a key ingredient in a satisfying and intimate experience. Many couples overlook foreplay, rushing to the main event, but taking the time to engage in it can make sex more pleasurable, emotionally fulfilling, and enjoyable for both partners. Physical Benefits of Foreplay Foreplay helps prepare the body for sex by increasing arousal. For women, it helps with natural lubrication, making intercourse more comfortable. For men, it can reduce performance anxiety and improve erection strength. Slow, sensual touches, kisses, and intimate moments help set the mood and ensure both partners are ready for a more pleasurable experience.  Emotional Connection Foreplay strengthens emotional bonds. It’s not just about physical arousal; it’s a way to connect with your partner on a deeper, more personal level. Taking time to explore each other’s bodies, whisper sweet words, and share laughter can make the experience more intimate and meaningful. This emotional connection is crucial for relationship satisfaction, especially in long-term relationships. Enhances Sexual Satisfaction Couples who invest in foreplay report higher levels of sexual satisfaction. It builds anticipation and makes the overall experience more exciting. For women, foreplay is often key to reaching orgasm, which makes it even more essential to a satisfying sexual encounter. Take Your Time Rushing through can prevent partners from fully engaging and enjoying the experience. Taking the time to indulge in each other’s desires and slowing down can make sex more rewarding and deepen your connection. Conclusion Foreplay is essential for building intimacy, enhancing pleasure, and strengthening emotional bonds. By making it a priority, couples can enjoy more fulfilling and exciting sexual experiences. To further enhance comfort and pleasure, using Glissant personal lubricant  can make intimacy smoother and more enjoyable.

Can I Use A Lubricant During Pregnancy?

Can I Use A Lubricant During Pregnancy?

Pregnancy is such an exciting and unique time, but it also comes with a flood of questions about what you should or shouldn't do. While there's plenty of information out there about diet and exercise during pregnancy, advice on sexual activity, particularly the use of lubricants, isn't as widespread. The good news is that using lube during pregnancy is generally considered safe by doctors. Your cervix is tightly closed, which prevents anything, including lubricant, from reaching your baby. However, it's crucial to choose a lubricant made with pregnancy-safe ingredients. Many common lubes contain chemicals that should be avoided during pregnancy , such as parabens, glycerin, propylene glycol, and synthetic fragrances. These ingredients can cause irritation, disrupt your body’s natural balance, or introduce unnecessary chemicals into your system. Opting for a lubricant that's free from these potentially harmful ingredients like Glissant Hydratant D'Amour or Eau D'Amour ensures you and your baby stay safe while you maintain comfort and intimacy during this special time.

The Importance of Lubricant in Anal Sex: Why You Should Never Skip It

The Importance of Lubricant in Anal Sex: Why You Should Never Skip It

In today's world, conversations about sexual health are becoming more open and accepting, yet certain topics still carry a sense of taboo. One such topic is anal sex. While it might be a delicate subject for some, the importance of discussing it openly cannot be overstated—particularly when it comes to understanding the role of lubrication in enhancing pleasure and safety. In this blog post, we'll explore what lube is best for anal sex  and also why using lube for anal sex  is not just important, but essential for both your health and enjoyment. Understanding the Anatomy Before we dive into the specifics of lubrication, it's crucial to grasp a basic understanding of anatomy during anal play. The anus does not produce natural lubrication, making it more vulnerable to friction and irritation during penetration. The tissue lining the anal canal is delicate and more susceptible to tears, which can lead to discomfort or potential injury if not properly cared for. This difference in tissue types highlights why the role of lubrication becomes even more significant in anal sex. The absence of natural lubrication means relying on an external source to ensure smooth and comfortable interaction. By understanding these anatomical nuances, you can make informed decisions that prioritize your safety and pleasure. The Role of Lube At the core of a safer and more enjoyable anal experience lies the use of lubrication. A good lube minimizes friction, reducing the risk of tears and injuries that could arise from direct contact. Without it, pressure and discomfort can lead to an unpleasant experience, which is why using lube is a must. Beyond safety, lubrication enhances pleasure by providing a smoother, more tactile experience. It allows for greater ease in movement, enabling partners to enjoy a more seamless connection. This heightened pleasure can significantly enhance your sexual experience, making lube an indispensable component of anal play. In addition, the right lubricant can increase sensitivity and arousal, making each moment more enjoyable. For those seeking to maximize their experience, the appropriate lube can transform an encounter into an incredibly satisfying exploration of intimacy and desire. Types of Lube for Anal Sex Choosing the best lube for anal sex  involves understanding the differences between available options. Here are the three primary types to consider: Water-Based Lube   Water-based lube is versatile and compatible with all types of condoms and toys. It's easy to clean and doesn't stain, making it a convenient choice for many. Additionally, water based lube for anal  is particularly popular due to its gentle formula and compatibility with a wide range of products, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience. Silicone-Based Lube   Silicone-based lubricants offer a silky-smooth experience and are even more slippery than other types of lubricants. It's ideal for water activities as it doesn't wash away easily. However, it's important to consider that silicone lubes are not natural and may not be the best option for your body, especially if you prioritize health-conscious choices. It's also not recommended for use with silicone toys as it can degrade their material over time. Oil-Based Lube   Oil-based lubes are moisturizing and provide excellent glide. They are best reserved for internal use with partners who are not reliant on condoms for protection. Understanding these options will help you select the best anal sex lube  for your needs, ensuring a safe and pleasurable experience every time. Safety Tips Safety should be a priority in any sexual encounter, and anal play is no exception. Here are some key tips to keep in mind: Use Condoms   Condoms are essential for protection against STIs and bacteria. They're especially important when switching between vaginal and anal play to prevent cross-contamination. Prioritize Hygiene   Ensuring cleanliness before and after anal play is vital. Washing your hands, toys, and any areas of contact can significantly reduce the risk of infection or irritation. Communicate Openly   Discussing boundaries and comfort levels with your partner ensures a mutual understanding. Consent and communication are cornerstones of a healthy and enjoyable experience. By taking these precautions, you can create a safer and more enjoyable environment for exploring anal pleasures. Addressing Common Misconceptions There are several misconceptions surrounding anal sex and the use of lube that need to be dispelled: "You Don't Need Lube"   This myth is not only incorrect but can lead to discomfort and injury. Lube is essential for reducing friction and enhancing the experience. "All Lubes Are the Same"   Different lubes have unique properties and compatibilities. Choosing the right one is integral to maximizing safety and pleasure. "Anal Play Is Only for Certain People"   Anal play is an enjoyable and valid form of intimacy for people of all orientations and genders. It's about personal preference, not stereotypes or stigmas. By addressing these myths, we pave the way for a more informed and inclusive understanding of anal sex and lubrication. Conclusion In conclusion, the importance of lube in anal sex cannot be overstated. It plays a critical role in ensuring safety, enhancing pleasure, and enabling a fulfilling experience for all involved. By educating ourselves and our partners, we can foster open conversations that prioritize sexual health and enjoyment. If you're ready to explore the world of premium intimate lubricants, consider GLISSANT wellness.

What is an orgasm?

What is an orgasm?

We talk about orgasm and climax all the time, but have you ever wondered what actually happens during orgasm? During an orgasm, there are several physiological and psychological changes that occur in a woman's body. Keep in mind that individual experiences can vary, but here are the general physiological responses associated with a female orgasm: Increased Heart Rate and Blood Pressure: As sexual arousal builds and intensifies, the heart rate and blood pressure increase. This is due to increased blood flow to the genital area and throughout the body. Muscle Contractions: The muscles of the pelvic region, including the uterus, vagina, and anus, undergo rhythmic contractions. These contractions are a central part of the orgasmic experience. They typically occur in a sequence of rapid intervals. Release of Sexual Tension: The peak of sexual arousal during an orgasm results in the release of built-up sexual tension. This release is accompanied by a pleasurable sensation and a feeling of relief. Elevated Breathing Rate: Breathing becomes faster and more irregular during sexual arousal and reaches its peak during orgasm. This increased oxygen intake contributes to the overall physiological response. Pleasure and Euphoria: Orgasms are often characterized by a feeling of intense pleasure and euphoria. This sensation is a result of the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins, which contribute to feelings of happiness and relaxation. Changes in Blood Flow: Throughout sexual arousal and orgasm, there are changes in blood flow to various parts of the body. Blood flow to the genital area increases, leading to engorgement and sensitivity. Clitoral and Vaginal Changes: The clitoris swells and becomes more sensitive during sexual arousal, and this sensitivity can increase during orgasm. The walls of the vagina may also contract rhythmically. Contraction of Uterus: The uterus contracts during orgasm, and these contractions can contribute to the pleasurable sensations experienced. Tingling Sensations: Many women report experiencing tingling sensations or waves of pleasure that spread from the genital area to other parts of the body during orgasm. Emotional and Psychological Responses: In addition to the physical changes, there are significant emotional and psychological responses associated with orgasm. These can include feelings of intimacy, connection, and deep satisfaction. It's important to note that the experience of an orgasm can vary widely among individuals. Some women may have multiple orgasms in quick succession, while others may have longer or more intense orgasms. Furthermore, factors such as individual anatomy, hormonal fluctuations, emotional state, and overall health can influence the experience of orgasm.
