Good Clean Love Almost Naked Personal Lubricant, 4 oz Tubes

Product Information

I saw this product in a review of other lubricants for women who were suffering the side effects of menopause. The benefit of using an iso-osmolar lubricant instead of a petrochemical-based hyperosmolar lubricant is that you can get the vaginal lubrication you need for intimacy without compromising your health. More casually, all the bacteria and yeasts that live on our skin, in our mouth, in our gut, in the vagina, in the nasal cavity, and other places are thought of as our microbiota, or “flora”. I personally find water-based lubes (that aren’t PEO-based/from powder) a bit stingy for anal, though many people don’t notice or the acidity doesn’t bother them.

In a study of over 2,400 women, water-based personal lubricants were associated with increased pleasure and satisfaction in vaginal sex, solo sex, and anal sex.Almost Naked, being one of the first safer, natural/organic lubricants on the US market, is the most widely studied by folks who have demonstrated its effect—or lack thereof, it’s just not disruptive like most other lubricants—on vaginal tissue integrity, and rectal tissue too. For those dealing with extreme dryness, try the BioNourish® Ultra Moisturizing Gel, which is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid to mimic the vagina’s natural moisture, providing sustained relief. There is a common myth that arousal has to come first, then sex; although we recommend becoming aroused early and often, the truth is that arousal can go hand in hand with gentle, lubricant-assisted touching and play. Like the more-watery Sliquid Sea, GCL BioNude has carrageenan, an ingredient drawn from red marine algae which scientists have studied in some depth for its ability to prevent or clear HPV, the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer. We did that by producing products that closely mimic the way your body works - without toxic substances like petrochemicals, parabens and hormones found in most personal lubricants and feminine hygiene products.

Personally I do like Almost Naked’s greater gel-longevity; but see Liquid as a strong contender, and a good choice for, say, air pulsation toys where you want good padding in the hole, but you’re not going to be thrusting with so much friction. You should pay extra attention to cleaning and drying those toys, and also you should pay attention smells and color changes.

BioNourish® Ultra Moisturizing Vaginal Gel, on the other hand, features hyaluronic acid, an ingredient known for its superior moisture-locking capabilities. We also recommend wiping off any gel that comes into contact with the external tissues if you experience these sensations. Studies show that personal lubricants that don’t match vaginal salt balance (“hyperosmolar” lubricants) can damage both cervical cells and rectal cells, which may increase your susceptibility to a variety of infections. While I have some minor issues with it, the natural feeling of Almost Naked makes it my number one go-to lube of choice.

This lubricant is FDA cleared, compatible with latex and polyisoprene condoms as well as sex toys and it will provide smooth, lasting lubrication. Bacterial vaginosis – or BV for short – is a condition in which the healthiest bacterial species are no longer the dominant species in the vagina, and other bacteria grow in greater numbers. Secondly, you may just be experiencing nerves and can use a lubricant to make the experience more easeful. Toys are for the most part very durable, however, sharp objects, falling from a height, … can still damage the toy. Whenever you’re working in this area, always move front to back, starting with the vulva and moving back toward the anus, so that you don’t accidentally push bacteria from the anus forward into the urethra or vagina.But unlike most thick lubes, it’s got a concentration (osmolality) that won’t force your vaginal cells to pull in water and shrivel up. Personal lubricants are used for a variety of reasons but most often to enhance intimacy or to reduce discomfort and pain during intercourse. It’s not recommended to use hybrid with silicone toys, but other toy materials are fully compatible.
