Frequently asked questions
What makes JO H2O Gel Original thicker than standard water-based lubricants?
JO H2O Gel Original uses a combination of hydroxyethylcellulose and acrylates crosspolymer alongside plant-based glycerin to create a plush, gel-like texture that is significantly thicker than standard water-based lubricants, providing more cushioning and longer-lasting placement.
Is JO H2O Gel Original compatible with polyurethane condoms?
No. JO H2O Gel Original is not compatible with polyurethane condoms. Latex and polyisoprene condoms are appropriate alternatives for use alongside this lubricant. Check the condom packaging for compatibility guidance.
Does JO H2O Gel contain plant-based glycerin?
Yes. JO H2O Gel Original specifically uses plant-based glycerin as its moisturising agent, which is a relevant ingredient distinction for those who prefer more naturally sourced components in their intimate products.
Does this lubricant contain parabens?
Yes. JO H2O Gel Original contains methylparaben and propylparaben as preservatives. Individuals with known paraben sensitivity should review the ingredient list before use and consider a paraben-free alternative from the JO range.
Why is a tube format better for this thick lubricant than a bottle?
The tube format allows precise, controlled dispensing of a thick gel lubricant directly onto a toy or specific skin area without the mess of a squeeze bottle. The thick texture does not flow freely, so a tube's targeted dispensing makes dosing more accurate and less wasteful.
