Looking for a Vella Alternative?

Vella and Nectar Pack take distinct approaches to intimate formulations.

Choosing between them comes down to base carrier choice, barrier compatibility, ingredient transparency, and cannabinoid profile design. Here is how the two compare directly.

What Vella Pleasure Serum Is

Vella Pleasurewave is a water-based lotion built around liposome-encapsulated CBD isolate with zero THC.

Designed for application to external vulvar tissue roughly 15 to 25 minutes before intimacy, the formula focuses on delivering a single cannabinoid in a water-lotion base designed to last up to two hours.

Water-Based Versus Oil-Based Bases

Carrier base represents the fundamental distinction between Vella and Nectar Pack formulas.

Vella uses a water-based emulsion compatible with all toy materials, including porous surfaces. Nectar Pack uses an oil-based botanical formula that provides long-lasting glide, but requires oil-safe toy materials and is incompatible with standard latex condoms.

Condom and Barrier Compatibility

Vella Pleasurewave is third-party tested for condom compatibility, while Nectar Pack is not safe with latex or polyisoprene.

If latex barrier protection is essential to your routine, Vella is the right choice. Oil-based formulas break down natural latex rubber. For oil topicals, choose polyurethane or nitrile barriers.

Comparing Cannabinoid Profiles

Vella relies on isolated CBD, whereas Nectar Pack formulates with a multi-cannabinoid blend and hemp-derived THC.

CBD isolate provides a single targeted compound with zero THC. Nectar Pack combines multiple minor cannabinoids with Delta-9 THC under 0.3%. Discover the science of our CBX™ profile.

Ingredient Purity and Standards

Nectar Pack formulates strictly with EWG-1 rated ingredients, while Vella uses cosmetic functional additives.

Nectar Pack is 100% glycerin-free, sugar-free, and pH-balanced for vulvar tissue. Vella includes synthetic functional ingredients like propanediol and polymer thickeners to stabilize its water-based lotion emulsion.

Testing and Research Data

Vella and Nectar Pack both share evidence, but measure different types of data.

Vella references an internal clinical study reporting response rates across participants. Nectar Pack publishes third-party Certificates of Analysis (COAs) screening for 40+ pesticides and 23+ solvents, alongside our 100-customer survey data.

Price and Cost Per Experience

Nectar Pack provides a lower cost per use and a lower initial financial barrier to trial.

Vella costs $55 for 16 uses, averaging roughly $3.44 per application. Nectar Pack is priced at $29.99 for approximately 10 uses, with a $14.99 trial format available on the Nectar Pack homepage.

Condom Safety Warning

Oil-based formulas degrade latex and polyisoprene materials, which can cause condoms to fail during intercourse.

Nectar Pack is not compatible with latex or polyisoprene condoms. Always pair oil-based formulas with non-latex polyurethane or nitrile barriers during partnered play.
