WHY SHOULD I USE LUBRICANT DURING INTIMACY (SELF PLEASURE OR WITH MY PARTNER)?
Do you know that Vaginal tissue is naturally moist?
This is why the vagina naturally produces lubrication that helps facilitate sexual activity.
Fluid from the cervix and secretions from the Bartholin glands — two pea sized glands at the entrance to the vagina — helps to keep the vagina well lubricated.
During arousal, the Bartholin glands secrete extra fluid to reduce friction.
Now to our QUESTION, a person can choose to use a lubrication if they experience any of the following:
• Vagina dryness due to medication
• Changes in hormone levels during pregnancy or after childbirth which can cause temporal vagina dryness
• Menopause which has been linked to cause vagina dryness
• Their vagina does not produce sufficient lubrication (they get dry during intimacy and can’t maintain the wetness)
• Pain or itching in their vagina, which can happen when sensitive vagina tissue is very dry
3 MAJOR TYPES OF LUBRICANT
1. Water based lubricants are the best lubricants to use (with or without glycerin, although women probe to yeast infections should not use a glycerin infosed water based lubricant)
2. Silicone based lubricants (can be greasy and not safe to use with sex toys made of silicone)
3. Oil based lubricants (edible, can be messy and can irritate the vulva)
Silicone and water based lubricants are safe to use with latex condoms. However, oil based lubricants may destroy latex condoms.
MY VAGINA STILL GETS DRY DURING INTIMACY….. WHY?
It’s best to start with a small amount of the lubricant then gradually increase the amount until the vagina feels comfortable.
Reapplying the lubricant several times provides the best results always.
N/B
Remember that vagina lubrication can help people have better and more comfortable sexual experiences as vagina dryness can be very uncomfortable or frustrating.
Sex should not be painful, and the vagina should not make a woman feel any form of discomfort.
