Preferably, the floe comprises: the corresponding material comprises one or more of wheat extracted protein, gelatin and algin; and the corresponding color comprises one or more of milky white, red, blue and purple.
Preferably, the matrix comprises at least one of a water-based tissue, an edible gel, a water-soluble lubricating composition, and an oil-based lubricating composition.
Specifically, the microcapsule is a microcapsule body which uses natural or synthetic polymer materials as capsule materials and encapsulates gaseous, solid or liquid compositions into a core material. The corresponding shape of the microcapsules comprises spherical shape, and the corresponding state of dispersion in the matrix comprises suspension. There is no well-established size scale of microcapsules, and the diameter thereof can be divided into nano-scale, micro-scale, millimeter-scale, etc. In some embodiments of the invention, the microcapsules correspond to a particle size in the range of 1-1000 μm.
The capsule wall material can be selected from edible materials and also can be selected from non-edible materials. Requirements for the capsule material include: the property is stable; the release speed is proper; no toxicity and no irritation; the stable properties of the inner capsule core material and the outer matrix are not influenced; the coating has good film forming property, certain strength and plasticity and can completely encapsulate the capsule core material; the viscosity, penetrability, hydrophilicity, solubility and degradability meet the requirements; appropriate rupture properties after compression.
At present, the commonly used capsule wall materials mainly comprise natural polymer capsule wall materials, such as gelatin, Arabic gum, agar, alginic acid and salts thereof, chitosan and the like; semi-synthetic polymeric capsule wall materials such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, cellulose acetate carbonate, ethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose; the synthetic polymer capsule wall material comprises biodegradable polycarbonate, polyamino acid, polylactone, lactide-glycolide copolymer, polylactic acid-polyethylene glycol block copolymer, non-biodegradable polyamide, silicon rubber and the like.
The corresponding capsule materials described above may be the same and/or different. For example, if the capsule materials are made of gelatin and chitosan, then microcapsules made of different capsule materials are obtained, and the capsule materials of some of the microcapsules are the same, and accordingly, microcapsules of different capsule materials are obtained corresponding to different degrees of easy rupture, thereby realizing a controlled rupture sequence of the microcapsules. For example, if the coating component is a composition for giving a feeling of warmth to the skin and the capsule material is a composition for giving a feeling of warmth to the skin to a degree of rupture greater than the coating component is a composition for giving a feeling of warmth to the skin, a greater probability of giving a feeling of warmth to the skin and then giving a feeling of coolness to the skin can be realized to satisfy the interest.
The respective coating compositions described above may be the same and/or different. For example, the microcapsules may contain some of the encapsulated ingredients as the above-described water-soluble lubricating composition and some of the encapsulated ingredients as the above-described oil-based lubricating composition.
The microcapsule has the advantages that the stability of the components which are not miscible with the matrix for a long time and the stability of the components which are easy to cause biological processes and/or chemical reactions with the matrix are ensured, the difficulty in dissolving the active components is avoided, and the stability between the components inside and outside the microcapsule is further ensured (the compatibility change of the composition is reduced); and obtaining the sudden, random, controlled or sustained release property of the release coating component after the microcapsule is broken, so as to realize the intermittent release of the microcapsule of different coating components after the microcapsule is broken, or the sustained release of the coating component after the microcapsule is broken; the sense of particle and rolling sense can be increased, the lubricating property is improved, the wrapping sense and the stimulation degree are enhanced by occupying a certain space, and the space changes after the packaging sense and the stimulation degree are broken one by one; and to obtain a psychological pleasure produced when the microcapsules burst. In addition, when the matrix and the dispersion are the microcapsules, the corresponding materials are all selected from edible materials, and the lubricant can also be used for anastomosis so as to increase interestingness.
In some embodiments, the matrix is a water-soluble lubricating composition and the encapsulated ingredient within the microcapsules is a water-soluble lubricating composition. In other embodiments, the matrix is a water-soluble lubricating composition and the encapsulated ingredient within the microcapsules is an oil-based lubricating composition.
In one embodiment, the encapsulated ingredient within the microcapsules is the skin feel component. Wherein said skin receptive component is selected from the group consisting of plant extracts including capsicum extracts or mint extracts. When some of the microcapsules are broken under pressure, the pepper extract is released, and then the pepper extract plays a role of a heating agent, so that the skin obtains a thermal sensation instantly corresponding to the broken parts of the microcapsules and the impact of burst of the microcapsules; when other microcapsules are broken under pressure, the mint extract is released, so that the skin feels cool corresponding to the broken part of the microcapsules and the microcapsules burst. The lubricant is mainly used for lubricating the substrate at the initial stage of use, so that different functional effects of the coating components after the microcapsules are broken are obtained, the sequence of the broken microcapsules is unknown, the corresponding types of the released coating components have certain randomness or non-continuity, two-stage or multi-stage experience is realized, and the psychological needs and stimulation needs of users are met.
In another embodiment, the coating ingredient is the flavoring agent and the matrix is edible. Wherein the flavor enhancer is selected from plant extracts including Capsicum annuum extract or Mentha arvensis extract. During the use of the lubricant, when some of the microcapsules are ruptured under pressure, the pepper extract is released, and the skin is heated; when other microcapsules are broken by pressure, the mint extract is released, and the skin is cooled.
In yet another embodiment, the wrapping component is the same as the component of the matrix, and the color enhancer is further added. Wherein the color enhancer is selected from red substances, such as plant extract with red color. The substrate is transparent. When the microcapsules are ruptured by compression, the red color is released. The red can have easy cleanability.
Illustratively, the sensitivity-reducing component described above is used to reduce sensitivity of the external genitalia, extending the duration of sexual intercourse. The types of the nerve paralysis comprise a physical delay type and a nerve paralysis type, wherein the physical delay type only affects a physical layer, does not chemically stimulate neurons and a secretion system, and is the type with the minimum side effect; the latter uses anesthesia of neuronal cells to prevent nerve conduction, and the main component is alcohol, and some sprays may be added with dicaine hydrochloride solution or ethyl aminobenzoate cold cream. Accordingly, the desensitizing component may be replaced with a functional component in the opposite direction to promote erection.
The plant extract can be flos Rosae Rugosae extract, Aloe extract, Capsici fructus extract, rhizoma Zingiberis recens extract, herba Menthae extract, fructus Citri Junoris extract, strawberry extract, or Chinese medicinal extract.
The floccule can be made of other materials except the wheat extracted protein, the gel and the algin; the corresponding color may also be other colors than the milky, red, blue, violet colors mentioned.
The wheat protein extract is one of seed protein extracts. The seed extract protein can also comprise corn extract protein and the like. The wheat extract protein, some of which are prolamines, has water, heat and fat resistance. The floe is advantageous, including for use in simulating vaginal secretions.
The algin can activate the production of important immune factors such as human monocytes and the like, plays a role in resisting tumors, bacteria and viruses, is widely used for trauma treatment and skin injury repair, and has the characteristics of good hemostatic effect, reliable treatment effect, low infection rate and the like. The algin has the characteristic of easy gelling, and can regulate the cell function around the wound by covering the algin on the surface of the wound, thereby promoting the wound healing; when the alginate dressing is contacted with the surface of the wound, calcium ions in the alginate and sodium ions secreted by the wound are subjected to ion exchange, so that the formation of colloid on the surface of the wound is facilitated, and the moisture around the wound is kept.
The edible colloid may be jelly, jam, colloid prepared from algae extract, agar or gel. The matrix and the microcapsules dispersed in the matrix have the advantages that when the matrix and the microcapsules are made of edible materials, the corresponding materials are selected, and the lubricant can also be used for oral delivery to increase interestingness.
