About Penchant — Premium Personal Lubricants Made in the USA
Our Story
Penchant was founded by Tanya Gallagher, a woman who believed intimate wellness deserved better. After years of conversations with friends about the realities of intimacy, one thing became clear: personal lubricant is fundamental to comfortable, enjoyable intimacy — yet most products on the market were disappointing. Sticky formulas, quick-drying gels, questionable ingredients, and clinical packaging that no one wanted on their nightstand.
Tanya founded Penchant to change that. The mission was simple: create body-safe, high-performance personal lubricants that people could actually feel good about using. No compromises on safety. No shortcuts on quality. No shame in the product or the conversation around it.
What Makes Penchant Different
Penchant is not just another lubricant brand. Every product in our collection is FDA 510(k) cleared — meaning it has been reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for safety and efficacy as a medical device. This level of regulatory clearance is rare in the personal lubricant industry, where many brands sell products classified only as cosmetics with far less oversight.
Our formulas are hypoallergenic, free from parabens, glycerin, artificial fragrances, petroleum, and common irritants that cheaper brands include to cut costs. We use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, manufactured in an FDA-registered facility in the United States. The result is a personal lubricant you can trust with your body.
Our Product Range
Penchant offers three core formulations, each designed for different needs and preferences:
- Silicone-Based Lubricant — Ultra-long-lasting, water-resistant, and incredibly smooth. Ideal for extended intimacy, shower and bath use, and people with sensitive skin who react to water-based additives.
- Water-Based Lubricant — Our most versatile formula. Compatible with all condom types and all intimate accessories. Clean-rinsing, lightweight, and perfect for everyday use.
- Organic Aloe Lubricant — Made with EcoCERT certified organic aloe vera juice. The gentlest, most natural option for people who prioritize plant-based personal care.
We also offer Strawberry and Watermelon flavored lubricants for couples who want to add a playful twist to intimacy, plus value bundles for every formulation.
