| Q. What is the difference between the silicone and water-based products? |
(Posted: 25th August, 2005) |
A. Pjur silicone products called Bodyglides are formulated using clinical grades of silicone and are produced in government authorized manufactoring facilities. Bodyglides are also designed for multiple uses such as a skin conditioner, personal moisturizer and for massage. The Bodyglides do not ablsorb into the skin or migrate through skin tissue or membranes. Bodyglides are chemical and perservative free. Silicone has been used in the medical industry for more than 30 years. About 85% of condoms in the US market are lubricated with silicone. This allows condoms a five-year shelf-life.
In the last 12 years Pjur Group and it's affiliates have sold more than 70 million bottles of Bodyglide formulations without health incident. Bodyglide is an inert substance (meaning PH balanced), bacteria cannot chain or grow in Bodyglide.
Water-based products called Aqua are safe and non-toxic. They do absorb into the skin and pass through the body. They are not as long lasting and do not have multiple uses.
Water-based products contain chemicals and preservatives that are FDA approved. Pjur water-based are FDA registered as Class II Medical Devices. |
