A lack of lubrication during intimacy is quite common and can happen for a number of reasons.
Each individual’s lubrication varies depending on different hormone levels that can be affected at any age, during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause. Childbirth, breastfeeding, stress, or certain cancer treatments can also contribute to a lack of spontaneous lubrication. As a result, sex can be uncomfortable or even painful.
How does a lubricant work?
A lubricant works by adding moisture to intimate tissues, creating a smooth, natural glide and removing the risk of friction or tears. Lubricants can help to remove the fear of uncomfortable sex and can really help with relaxation and enjoyment.
What should I consider when choosing a lubricant?
There are so many different products out there to choose from, but it’s worth noting that not all lubricants are created equal.
Using a product that matches the correct vaginal pH is particularly important, as the acidic pH helps to regulate the amount of good bacteria in the vagina, which in turn helps to prevent infections or irritation. Using a product that is not pH matched can disrupt the balance of good bacteria, which can increase the risk of infection.
Whether you use a little or a lot, for pleasure or for health, the YES natural personal lubricants are certified organic, and guaranteed pure and natural. They are all free from parabens, hormones, glycerine and known skin irritants.
When choosing the right lubricant for you, consider what you are personally looking for in a lubricant. Here are the best qualities of each YES Organic Lubricant to help you decide which suits your needs best.
YES WB natural water-based lubricants
Use this highly moisturising, pH matched lubricant to ease discomfort during sex and provide long-lasting glide when you need it most. It’s compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. Designed for discretion, YES WB is odour-fee, taste-free and non-sticky. This makes it feel just like natural lubrication!
YES OB plant-oil based personal lubricants
Use this long-lasting, rich and soothing lubricant to protect, heal and nourish dry and sensitive tissues. YES OB can also be used as a body-safe massage oil both externally and internally. It cannot be used with latex rubber – YES OB is not condom compatible as plant-oils can erode the material (especially latex) which can compromise the material integrity of the condom. Use YES WB instead if you wish to use lubricant with a condom.
