A premium water-based personal lubricant for everyday intimate comfort, created by a former Chief Radiation Therapist. It is a registered medical device in Singapore and the first halal-certified personal lubricant in Asia.

Because the body’s own lubrication is not a constant. It is a response, and like every response it varies: with arousal, with the hour of the day and the stage of the month, with sleep, with stress, and with the changes that come with age and the seasons of a woman’s life. None of this is failure; it is physiology. What a lubricant does is remove the variable. It lets comfort be decided on rather than hoped for, so that closeness is not rationed by whether the body happened to cooperate that evening. Used well, it is less an intervention than a courtesy, to oneself and to the other person.

Sid learned this first in oncology, when she worked at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York. Patients whose treatment had affected their bodies would tell her about the fatigue, the appetite, the skin, everything except what had happened to their sex lives, and she could see the question sitting unasked at the end of every consultation. Doctors were not asking about their sexual wellness, and in the face of a cancer diagnosis, patients dealt with that challenge in secret. Years later, behind the counter of her own shop – Please – An Educational Pleasure Shop, in Brooklyn, New York, she watched the same silence in people who were perfectly well: nobody asks about lubricant until they think something is wrong, and even then they rarely ask. That is not an accident. For decades it was sold as a fix, a small tube for a private failure, tucked behind the condoms and labelled in language that was either medical or mildly embarrassing.

Across cultures, intimacy is kept private, the things that serve it go unmentioned, and what goes unmentioned starts to feel like something to be ashamed of. Antara Kita is Sid’s way of bringing the conversation about sexual wellness and sexual comfort to the surface – because something this basic belongs in everyday life.

It is manufactured for us by an ISO 13485-certified medical facility and imported and distributed by Antara Kita in Singapore and Malaysia under our own medical-device licences.

Yes. Antara Kita Premium Water Based Lubricant is named on a halal certificate issued by HCS, a certification body recognised by MUIS in Singapore and JAKIM in Malaysia.

Why it matters is broader than it first appears. Halal certification is, in practice, an audit of provenance. Every ingredient is traced to its origin, every step of manufacture is documented, and the whole is reviewed by an independent body against a published standard, so a certified product carries a degree of scrutiny over what goes into it, and how. For some, that is a matter of conscience. For everyone, it is an assurance of transparency: a formulation in which nothing has been left unexamined and nothing needs to be taken on trust.

Yes. It is water-based and compatible with condoms and with silicone or other intimate products.

No. Antara Kita is a lubricant only. It does not prevent pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.

Stop using it and wash with water. Like any product, it may not suit everyone. If the reaction persists, contact your healthcare provider. Let us know through the product reporting form on our Contact page — every report is reviewed and you will receive a reference number.

Unopened, it keeps for 3 years; check the expiry date on your pack. Once opened, use it within 3 months (the open-jar symbol marked 3M), because air and humidity can affect the gel after opening.

Because we believe intimate care begins with an educated conversation, and we would rather you had it with a pharmacist you can see than a checkout page. We sell only through physical pharmacies, clinics and independent shops. We firmly believe in supporting small businesses that contribute to local commerce and keeping neighbourhoods lively.

Antara Kita arrives in pharmacies and clinics in Singapore and Malaysia from December 2026. We will list every stockist on our Where to Buy page as soon as they are confirmed.

60 ml bottle, 125 ml bottle, and a box of five 5 ml sachets for travel or a first try.
