Description

Astroglide Gel does not seem to have any special effect on women’s health concerns, though it might help to some extent. The strain of bacteria used in this product seems like tis more effective on bowel movements and digestion rather than clearing up yeast infections or preventing any itching, burning or discomfort in the vagina.

Purified Water, Glycerin, Hydroxyethyl cellulose, Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Methylparaben, Glaucon Delta Lactone, Sodium Hydroxide Using anal lube can also make it less likely that your condom will break. The tearing of delicate skin can allow a sexually transmitted infection to get into your bloodstream. That’s why the following advice is key: “Always use a condom,” says Dr. Gonzalez. “They're the best way to protect yourself against sexually transmitted infections.” However, oils are not suitable for use with latex condoms or other latex birth control methods. Additionally, oils can clog the pores in the skin and cause skin irritation and infections, or change the pH balance inside the vagina.

Experience pure pleasure with our gel-based lubricant. Its smooth texture glides like liquid velvet, staying in place for uninterrupted enjoyment. Anal sex, like all sex, is not without risk, but a good lube can help make things safer, as well as way more fun. Most lubes you might use for vaginal, vulvar, penile, or pleasure product play can double as anal lube. "With lube for anal play, you have a little more leeway than lube for vaginal play," says Rachel Wright, LMFT, a New York-based psychotherapist who specializes in sex and relationships.For one, they have a very unique, silky feel that is soothing to the skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. Silicone is also hypoallergenic, so it’s a great choice for lube users with sensitive skin or allergies. And since these lubes contain mostly silicone instead of water, they often last longer and need to be reapplied less often. Though safe in small amounts, consumption of large quantities of HEC may lead to intestinal obstruction—a condition which keeps food from passing through the bowel.

P, et al. (2021). Clinical and personal lubricants impact growth of vaginalLactobacillusspecies and colonization of vaginal epithelial cells: Anin vitrostudy. we just started using the new ultra gentle gel and WOW! What an improvement! Super smooth with no irritation whatsoever and didn't need to stop to reapply. One application lasted as long as we did " The first is that oil-based lubricants aren’t safe to use with latex condoms. They can make the latex porous, or even cause it to rip and tear. This means that oil-based types of lubricants are better for those who do not need to use condoms. Another thing to consider is that oil-based lubes can also be hard to clean off of toys and skin, so be prepared to do some extra clean-up afterward. In fact, many women use lube to help ease the discomfort that comes from vaginal dryness. Vaginal dryness can occur at any time, though it often becomes a problem for perimenopausal and menopausal women who are experiencing changes in their natural hormone levels. The Ingredient List: Certain lube ingredients are known to cause vaginal irritation and/or infections—including glycerin, nonoxynol-9, and propylene glycol—so these are best avoided. You’ll also want to stay away from parabens (i.e. any ingredient with a name ending in -paraben), which have been shown to disrupt the endocrine system. Finally, steer clear of any lube containing sugar or sucralose, unless you want a hell of a yeast infection.Personal lubricants can come in liquid and gel forms, and each formula has a base ingredient that accounts for its unique texture. Let’s take a look at the three main lube bases and what they mean for you: 1.) Water-Based Lubricants Water-based lubricants are by far the most common type of lube and for good reason. After reviewing a wide range of products designed for menopausal women, we’ve discovered that Femmetrinol is the best product on the market for helping women deal with the most uncomfortable symptoms at any stage of the transition. Sound like an issue that’s familiar to you? If so, speaking to your OB/Gyn is always a great idea. She may have some suggestions or insights into your personal situation, and she may even be able to recommend a specific type of lube that’s right for you. For extra control and to limit spillage, squeeze lube onto your fingertips first, then apply. With a little practice, you’ll be able to estimate pretty closely how much lube you need. Remember, you can always reapply! How to Store Your Lube Most lubricants have extremely stable chemical structures. Avoid petroleum products like Vaseline, and skip natural oil-based lubricants like coconut oil, too, if you're using a condom.

However, there are other lubricants and moisturizers that may do more than make sex easier and more pleasurable than Astroglide Gel. When it comes to safe anal sex, using the best anal lubes for your needs is critical. “[Lube] reduces friction to lower the risk of condom breakage. It can also help to prevent small tears that can be painful and increase the risk of infection,” says Jess O’Reilly, Ph.D., sexologist and host of the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast. “And lube can enhance sensation and pleasure!”Steer clear of desensitizing agents, such as lidocaine. Some lubes that are specifically branded for anal sex contain these but they could stop you from being able to feel the pain that indicates an injury so you won’t know to tell your partner to stop. (None of our recs contain numbing agents.) Many lubes contain glycerin, which is a byproduct of sugar; Some experts advise avoiding this ingredient, as sugar attracts yeast, which may lead to an infection. That said, many people are fine with glycerin in commercial lubes, so if it works for you, it's safe to use. In fact, most of the ingredients listed are commercially produced and some, like methylparaben are actively avoided by many consumers due to their potential link to breast cancer. A word of warning: natural oils (like coconut oil) and oil-based lubes may have the right consistency, but they can erode latex, which is why Sinclair says to avoid using coconut oil or almond oil when using condoms. If you're using sex toys, she also suggests avoiding silicone-based lubes with sex toys. "Using silicone lube on a silicone sex toy can cause bending, warping, and the ruin of a toy," says Sinclair "Use a high-quality, water-based lubricant instead." Cleanup is a breeze as it washes off easily with water, ensuring hassle-free maintenance. Elevate intimacy with this hydrating gel that heightens comfort and takes sensuality to new heights. You might even find that you or your partner enjoy more than one formula for different reasons. That’s totally okay — there’s no rule that says you can only own one bottle of lube. So go ahead: experiment, share, play and explore. And most of all, have fun!

But there’s one caveat with silicone-based lubes that’s important to keep in mind: They can degrade the material of silicone sex toys, meaning it’s not the best option if you’re planning to use toys. And, if you’re using a condom, you should stay away from oil-based lubes, as they can break down the latex.Sounds simple enough, right? But if that’s all there is to it, why are there so many different kinds of lubes out there? Because like condoms and vibrators, different types of lubricants offer different benefits. After menopause, the ovaries stop producing eggs, leading to decreased estrogen levels. This can cause the skin and tissue of the vulva and vagina to become less elastic, and people may experience vaginal dryness.
