The Science of Aquafit Intimate

Innovated for Function. Designed for Care.

Intimate wellness affects more than just your sex life. It is an important part of a woman’s health. Pelvic floor function, hydration, and microbial balance are all essential to intimate well-being at every age and life stage.

Aquafit’s all-in-one Intimate Gel Stick products uniquely combine pelvic floor training for tonus with hydration and rapid acidification for pH balance, helping to relieve dryness and irritation while supporting intimate well-being. 

Carefully formulated with safe, plant-based ingredients, Aquafit PRÉ and Aquafit BIO closely mimic the vagina’s natural environment.

All natural, feels natural, Intimate Gel Stick

Aquafit products are based on an all-natural, water-based novel vaginal hydrogel, optimally designed for the vaginal environment. Its iso-osmolar physicochemical properties closely mimic vaginal tissue and match the water content of the vaginal mucosa.

The patented hydrogel enables deep, effective delivery of active agents to vaginal tissue, helping support a balanced vaginal ecosystem. Its elastic, supple texture ensures a comfortable, pain-free intimate training experience that adapts to each woman’s anatomy for optimal performance.

Pure Intimate Wellness

Aquafit Intimate formulations are carefully selected based on scientific research to be effective, beneficial, and safe for vaginal use. Our products are designed to hydrate, balance pH levels, relieve irritation, and support the vagina’s natural microbiome. They are gentle, free from harmful chemicals, irritants, or hormones, and safety-assessed for vaginal use.

Hyaluronic Acid

  • Naturally found in all tissues and fluids in the body, acting as a lubricant for joints and tissues. Natural levels decrease with age.
  • Retains moisture, with the ability to bind over a thousand times its weight in water. Forms a layer of long-lasting hydration, soothing and relieving vaginal dryness while enhancing elasticity. 
  • Clinical studies comparing vaginal hyaluronic acid with vaginal estrogen found comparable relief of vaginal dryness and discomfort, without hormones. [1][2]

Lactic Acid

  • Helps maintain optimal vaginal acidity (pH 3.5 to 4.8) [3]
  • Promotes the growth of healthy Lactobacilli and and helps protect against the overgrowth of anaerobic, harmful or opportunistic microbes, and biofilms.
  • Supports natural vaginal immunity and helps protect against the recurrent imbalance (dysbiosis) that can lead to BV and yeast infections
  • Research shows vaginal lactic acid has a calming, anti-inflammatory effect on vaginal cells [4]

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

  • Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that strengthens the vaginal tissue's protective skin barrier and preserves moisture levels.
  • Acts as a strong natural antioxidant, deflecting irritants and soothing sensitive vaginal tissue. 
  • Supports collagen and tissue elasticity.

Aloe Vera

  • Known for its soothing and moisturising properties
  • Creates a lubricant that closely mimics natural vaginal fluids.

Gellan, Locust Bean and Carrageenan Gums

  • Natural plant-based synergistic stabilizers: Gellan, Locust Bean, and Carrageenan Gum (made from red algae) contribute to the Intimate Gel Stick's soft, gelatinous, and pliable consistency. Carrageenan has also been studied in the laboratory for its protective barrier properties against papillomavirus (HPV). [5].
  • Moisturise and replenish vaginal tissue, mimicking the natural hydration of vaginal mucosa. Supports colonisation by healthy bacteria (predominantly Lactobacilli) that form the vagina’s natural protective barrier.

Safe, stable, hybrid preservative system

  • Aquafit Intimate Gel Stick products use a hybrid preservative system for safe and effective preservation in the vaginal environment. The formulation is designed to ensure product stability while ensuring vaginal tissue safety. Active ingredients are rated in the EWG Skin Deep database.
  • Aquafit formulations are iso-osmolar, within the WHO-recommended osmolality for vaginal products, to support safety across the vaginal tissue barrier. [6]
