Let’s Talk About STIs – And How Latex Barriers Can Help Keep You Safe

We get it—talking about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) isn’t exactly easy. But at Intensas NZ, we believe that safety and pleasure go hand in hand. Whether it’s oral sex, tribbing, or rimming, protecting yourself matters—and it doesn’t have to get in the way of intimacy.

So how can a simple latex barrier protect your health and enhance your experience?

What Are STIs?
STIs (sexually transmitted infections) are passed through sexual contact—including oral sex, rimming, tribbing, and skin-to-skin contact. Some of the most common ones include:

• Chlamydia
• Gonorrhea
• Herpes
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
• Syphilis
• HIV

Many STIs can spread even if your partner has no symptoms. That’s why protection isn’t just important—it’s essential.

Where Latex Barriers Come In

You’ve heard of condoms—but have you tried latex sheets (also known as dental dams)? These are thin latex barriers used during oral sex or vulva-to-vulva contact (tribbing) to help reduce the risk of STI transmission while still allowing connection and sensation.

They’re especially helpful for preventing:

• Gonorrhea and chlamydia (in the throat or genitals)
• Herpes and HPV (through skin-to-skin contact)
• Syphilis (through sores or rashes)
• HIV (from certain bodily fluids)

Why We Created the Grip Device

We designed the Grip Device with a clear goal: to make protection easier, more comfortable, and more pleasurable. The Grip holds a latex sheet in place during oral sex, rimming, or tribbing—so you can focus on connection, not awkward adjustments.

It’s reusable, body-safe, and designed by women with vulvas in mind—but anyone who values safer sex can benefit. Whether you’re exploring new experiences or deepening trust with a partner, the Grip helps you feel good and stay safe.

The Bottom Line

Protecting your health doesn’t have to feel clinical or complicated—it can be part of your empowered, joyful intimacy.

At Intensas NZ, we’re here to help you enjoy sex without compromise: with products that respect your body, amplify your pleasure, and normalize conversations around sexual health.
