Good Clean Love Almost Naked Personal Lubricant, 4 oz Tubes

Product Information

These are suppositories that you put into your vagina with a disposable applicator. They work best if you use them at bedtime. You've probably heard that you should never use flavored lubes for vaginal or anal intercourse because they're filled with sugars, and sugar = yeast infections. However, that's not always the case...and glycerin doesn't actually deserve the bad rap it's gotten (especially since it's a sugar alcohol, not a sugar). Sure, cheap grades of glycerin derived from petrochemicals or other sketchy sources can potentially cause infections. But natural glycerin—which is created from fats and oils—actually has great moisturizing and healing properties. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask your OBGYN, midwife or other medical provider about what’s safe and what isn’t. (Shameless plug! Help prepare your body for pregnancy, delivery and postpartum by becoming a member of the V-hive!) How does lube come into play with certain cancers? Vaginal lubricants usually come in a liquid or gel form. You can buy them online or at your local pharmacy without a prescription. According to data from Orlando Health’s Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies, other STIs a condom helps protect against include chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and syphilis. Which means, OF COURSE you’re going to use a condom, and lubricant can help keep yours from tearing. "Condom breakage and injuries during anal sex typically occur when things aren't well lubricated,” explains Dr. Gonzalez. What to consider when shopping for anal lube:

You can use vaginal and vulvar moisturizers at any time, not just before or during sexual activity. Use them 3 to 5 times a week to help with your overall vaginal health and comfort. When connecting with your partner or yourself sexually during pregnancy, lube can help ease any friction-related discomfort and make for a more pleasurable experience. The water base behind the Good Clean Love Almost Naked Organic Personal Lubricant will leave you feeling, well, almost naked. It’s highly recommended by gynecologists and is free from parabens and glycerin. Plus, it’s made with organic aloe leaf juice which helps moisturize and extend the water-based lube’s effectiveness. A 2012 study even concluded that this lube is one of the safest out there, which is especially important during pregnancy.

How We Selected the Best Lubes

Balance Moisturizing Wash is a natural, gentle, botanical intimate wash formulated with aloe to help cleanse, refresh, and eliminate odor. Unlike other feminine hygiene wash products, Balance organic vaginal wash contains no artificial fragrances and features our patented Bio Match™ formula, which matches optimal vaginal pH levels. This pH balanced wash is 100% vegan, petroleum-free, and paraben-free 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.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.” Never use petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline ®) as a lubricant. It is hard to wash off and can irritate your vagina. It can also raise your risk of getting a vaginal infection.

Bio-Match® pH-Balanced Formula Supports Vaginal Health by Promoting Natural pH Levels, Salt & Lactic Acid Best Lube – Aloe/Water Hybrid: Good Clean Love Almost Naked – Good Clean Love’s products are made with organic ingredients. This one is also a water- aloe hybrid and is pH-balanced. It’s made with aloe vera, lemon and vanilla. Hormone fluctuations during pregnancy, after delivery, and while pumping or breastfeeding can make things a little drier, even if you are mentally and emotionally ready to go. (Although vaginal dryness is very common, pain with intercourse is not and could be a sign that you would benefit from an evaluation by a pelvic floor PT). If you’re using a latex condom, always use a water-based or silicone-based lubricant. Do not use an oil-based lubricant. It can damage the latex condom and break it.

In some cases, medical conditions or treatments may compromise vaginal tissue, making it difficult for the body to produce or retain natural moisture.

It works to restore optimal vaginal conditions and then delivers long-lasting relief through the trusted hydrating properties of hyaluronic acid.
