Organic sex lube – The big easy for dryness
Vaginal dryness – it’s not just you!
Almost 20% of women under 50 experience vaginal dryness, and Harvard University reports that vaginal dryness, irritation, and pain during intercourse affect 50% of women after menopause.
Dryness during sex can be a mood kill and lead to feelings of embarrassment on both sides. Keep a tube of natural sex lube handy and apply as needed – you can even apply to the man, au natural or inside the condom.
Daily dryness can cause friction and discomfort.
Applying a small amount of organic personal lubricant when needed can provide instant and lasting relief.
Why do women experience vaginal dryness?
There are lots of reasons for vaginal dryness, including:
- menopause
- some medicines
- lack of arousal or not enough foreplay
- stress or tiredness
- breastfeeding
- and plenty more.
Experts say women often don’t seek help, but that it is a great idea to talk to your healthcare professional, as dryness and irritation can be caused by something else – like a urinary infection that needs treating – and chronic, low-grade inflammation can contribute to cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes and other conditions.
In particular as women age, the tissues of the vaginal wall can thin and it becomes easier to get micro tears from the friction during sex, especially if there isn’t good lubrication. A great natural lubricant is a good way to protect yourself, as well as improving the enjoyment and comfort of intercourse.
What to do if you’re drier than usual, or not getting wet easily
Use a really high quality personal lubricant. Indulge yourself with certified organic lube for daily personal use to prevent daily dryness, and when making love or for self-play.
Go natural with your knickers too
Scented detergents, certain underwear fabrics and incontinence or period pads can irritate and inflame the sensitive skin – breathable natural cotton or bamboo underwear is our pick for happy healthy skin.
