Dissatisfied with over-the-top feminine branding and products they found limiting, a group of friends banded together to create a disruptive brand by the name of Marlow, with innovative products like The MarLube. This personal lubricant was created to support not just intercourse but also mess-free, comfortable experiences with tampons.
The water-based personal lubricant is pH-balanced, fragrance-free and made without offending ingredients such as parabens, petrochemicals, silicones, alcohol and others. The lubricant is made with a number of recognizable ingredients, including aloe leaf extract and hyaluronic acid, both favorites among skincare lovers.
The product packaging is compatible with Marlow Tampons, which are 100% organic. As such, The MarLube and organic tampons from the brand are bundled for convenient and cost-conscious purchases.
