Higher Nature Citricidal Grapefruit Seed Extract Liquid Concentrate

Advantages: A little goes a long way
Disadvantages: Taste - yuck. You can get round that though :-)

...Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is a remarkably versatile product. It is marketed in the UK by Higher Nature Ltd under the trade name 'Citricidal'. GSE has been used for at least 25 years and is well researched. It is endorsed by the World Health Authority. It is naturally antibiotic, anti-fungal and antiseptic, non-toxic and no known side effects (even for those with citrus allergies, although a patch test is recommended). As it is very stable it lasts for years and it is bio-degradable. Also it is very economical as you only need to add a few drops to your liquid of choice (more on that in a moment). It can be used long term and is safe for both infants and the elderly to take. Trial and error over the years I have been using GSE have allowed me to discover that the best disguise is tea, I also find grapefruit, orange... Read review

Advantages: Multitude of uses, smells great, really works
Disadvantages: A little expensive

...I was recommended this product but I have to admit it all sounded a little too good to be true…I can’t help but be suspicious of a product which appears to claim to do absolutely everything!……….but being inquisitive I decided to put this product to the test and try it for as many of the apparent uses as I could! The contents list is pretty pleasing – it all seems natural and not at all harsh, Grapefruit Seed extract and Vegetable Glycerine (that’s all!) and GM free so this will keep everyone happy! This product is made by Higher Nature and is sold as antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial liquid drops. The bottle I bought was £7.60 for 50ml in a little white bottle with a bright yellow label from my local health food shop. This seemed a little expensive but for what this product claims to do it seemed worth it! Of course you... Read review

Advantages: Nice texture, vegan, good for oral sex, good pump-top, classy-looking bottle
Disadvantages: Caused stinging after I developed vulval pain, contains glycerine which may be problematic for some

...that the culprit is the glycerine, which doesn't have a good reputation regarding vaginas (glycerine is sugar, and sugar is what yeast infections adore). From what I gather, this is still one of the better lubricants. The ingredients are Purified Water, Vegetable Glycerine, Hemp Seed Oil, Guarana extract, Siberian Ginseng, Hydroxyethy-Cellulose, Sodium Benzoate, Tetra Sodium EDTA, Grapefruit Seed extract, Damiana extract. It does not contain parabens, which is a plus for many people, and it's nicely plant-based rather than being nothing but scary chemicals. The lube is odourless or near as damnit. It does have a slight sweetish flavour, but it's not too bad, enough to be noticeable during oral sex and obviously not as nice as the natural version of my boyfriend's flesh, but not enough to be off-putting at all. There are several flavoured... Read review
