The Banned List
Let's start by two fundamental facts:
- Sexual wellness market is, unfortunately, not fully regulated so we must be careful with the products we choose to use.
- Vagina's tissues are way more absorbent than other parts in our body, so every material/substance interacting with vagina's walls will be absorbed by our body twice as fast.
It's fundamental then to be aware of products you use in your intimate parts, that's why we have created the banned list and pureeros guaranteed products; for your knowlegde and overall health.
