Can I use condoms with Zestra?
The importance of practicing "safe-sex" cannot be overstated and sexually-active condom users should already be aware that "latex" condoms are not compatible with petroleum-based oils such as light mineral oil (Baby Oil) or even petrolatum (Vaseline®).
ZestraT is a special blend of consumable botanical oils that have different physical properties from petroleum-based products. You may use condoms with ZestraT but you need to use a polyurethane condom, as they are specifically designed for use with oil-based lubricants.
An added plus of "polyurethane" condoms is that they transmit body heat between partners much better than latex condoms. The following is a list of popular polyurethane condoms and each manufacturer's description:Avanti®
Durex's Revolutionary "Non-Latex" Condoms are thinner and more sensitive than regular latex condoms. Ideal for latex sensitive condom users the unique non-latex material is sensitive, clear, odourless, and safe with oil based lubricants. Each condom is individually tested for maximum reliability. Made from polyurethane.
FemidomT Female Condom
Presenting an alternative to male condoms. FemidomT is the first condom designed to be worn by a women and is manufactured in the UK by The Female Health Company. Made of soft polyurethane, Femidom is hypo-allergenic, heat conductive, and has been reported to increase the sensitivity for both women and men. The FemidomT female condom has been available since 1994 and because it is made from Polyurethane the FemidomT condom can be used with oil and water based lubricants. The FemidomT female condom is an excellent alternative for couples with latex allergies, who are otherwise unable to use a regular latex condom and is available from larger Boots stores, independent pharmacies, family planning clinics and mail order..
Are there any guarantees that Zestra will work on me?
The development of Zestra is the result of a long history of scientific research coupled with the support of double-blind placebo controlled crossover clinical trials, which demonstrated that Zestra safely and effectively increases female sexual pleasure in more than 90% of women.
The clinical trials involved women without sexual complaints, women who experienced difficulty with arousal and orgasm, and women who were on SSRI antidepressant medications. Regardless of the particular group of women studied, Zestra demonstrated enormous increases in female sexual pleasure and satisfaction in all groups tested. No other women's product can truthfully make these statements.
As with any dietary supplement, vitamin, or medication, response can vary from person to person, with some not responding as well as others. This could be due to any number of factors that may affect women's sexual health and enjoyment such as environment /lifestyle, diet, hormone levels, age, relationship status or certain prescription medications. As healthcare professionals ourselves, we think it is important for you to talk with your own healthcare provider about the use of Zestra, as this person best understands your personal medical history and is therefore able to place the information concerning Zestra in an appropriate perspective for you.
Are there any women who shouldn't use Zestra?Zestra should not be used in anyone with known hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the ingredients in Zestra. As with many consumer products and most prescription drugs, Zestra should not be used by pregnant or lactating women, or women that are trying to conceive, as it has not been studied under those conditions. Orgasms during pregnancy have been associated with premature labour and unwanted complications. Women who are experiencing unexplained vaginal bleeding should not use Zestra and should consult their physician. Women with yeast infections and other irritating conditions of the genitals should refrain from using Zestra until the irritated condition is resolved. There are no other known contraindications.
How long has Zestra been on the market?

Is Zestra safe for ingestion during oral sex?
ZestraT was specifically designed to increase female sexual pleasure during foreplay, manual stimulation, vaginal intercourse and masturbation. ZestraT is perfectly safe to eat because it was formulated from ingredients with well-established safety profiles that are dietary supplements derived from natural botanical ingredients. When using Zestra, oral sex should occur prior to the application of Zestra.
Zestra was designed to be topically applied and gently massaged onto the clitoris and labia (vaginal lips) during foreplay. It is intended for use during foreplay, vaginal sex, manual stimulation and masturbation. The effects generally begin within 3 to 5 minutes after genital application and tender massage and its pleasurable effects typically last about 45 minutes for most women. Zestra is not flavoured or sweetened and therefore is not intended for "tasty" oral sex.
Zestra is available in a pack of six single-use, foil packets and retails at £14.99.

If stored at room temperature, Zestra has a shelf life of up to three years from the date of manufacture of the product. Over time you may notice that the fragrance of Zestra may change slightly but its pleasurable activity remains constant.

There are no known drug interactions between topically applied Zestra and any prescription or non-prescription drug available in the United Kingdom. However, if you have a vaginal infection that is being treated with a locally applied/administered cream, ointment, lotion, vaginal insert, etc., you should wait until the infection is cured before using Zestra.
Are there any side effects of Zestra?
ZestraT has been evaluated in consumer and clinical studies for more than five (5) years. Using topically applied Zestra is very safe. There were no side effects reported in the Zestra clinical trials with the exception of mild skin irritation in those women who had an active vaginal yeast infection. Since Zestra became available to consumers in June 2002, the only effects reported to us are the praising emails we receive from women who are enjoying intercourse more than ever before and are having sex more frequently.
