And then the detection issue related to there's overlapping ingredients, let's say, between these lubricants and then other very common personal hygiene products is there anything you'd like to touch on in that category of questions absolutely so yes
C
13:25Candice BridgeGUEST
there are maybe four yeah there's four main marketing types that i've identified and then i the fifth one would be personal hygiene products and any other non-sexual lubricant that could be used to facilitate a sexual assault including lotions um Sometimes oils, butter, basically anything an assailant can get their hands on.

13:49Candice BridgeGUEST
So the four main marketing types of lubricant products, you have silicone-based, you have water-based, you have edible, natural, and then you have oils.
C
14:02Candice BridgeGUEST
Condom is a subset because it could be either water-based or silicone-based, but it has other lubricants, what they call a dry lubricant known as cornstarch in condoms to help with the unrolling process, right? But that's a physical separation that happens between the cornstarch and the lubricant versus a chemical separation needed for the lubricant components.
