Good overall health for women requires good vaginal health. Good vaginal health requires your lube to be made of high quality ingredients. This is applicable for all women using lube vaginally, but especially around the time of perimenopause when vaginal dryness becomes more common, vaginal pH often starts to shift, the vaginal microbiome often changes and risk of infections goes up. Most lubes can make all of those things worse, not to mention introducing toxins into your systemic circulation. It’s time to become more discerning about your lube ingredients. The typical ones sold in grocery stores are not good enough for you.
Reminder of our criteria we require our lube to meet: 1- Won’t raise your vaginal pH 2- Won’t alter your microbiome 3- Is isosmotic (matters for water based only)4- Doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients (ie. any type of paraben, chlorhexidine gluconate, nonoxonol 9, propylene glycol, glycerin, fragrances, petroleum based oils, quaternium 15, polyquaternium 15, benzocaine, menthol, or any type of sugar)
