Looking at any interesting effects of propylene glycol in vaginal lubricants I stumbled upon this study. Then I found it isn’t the only one pointing to hyperosmolal lubes causing damage to the epithelium either.

Translation: some lubricants can damage the skin barrier, increasing the risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Right?

OP should probably simplify the title.

OP should probably simplify the title.

IMO the title should always reflect the article being linked to, and editorializing it does the community a disservice on multiple levels, but a “plain English” description certainly belongs in the post description.

Coconut oil is the best we’ve ever tried so far.

I honestly didn’t expect a thoughtful response. My faith in humanity has slightly increased until I go to work and have to write up a complaint regarding two dumbass coworkers.

We just use baby oil or, more commonly, coconut oil. Coconut oil is so juicy and lubey and stays lubed for a long time, even when exposed to air. One tablespoon is enough for a very large area as well. 😏🍑

Coconut oil works great if you don’t regularly cook with coconut milk. If you do, the association between the two becomes unpleasant.

Unpopular opinion: I can’t stand the smell of coconut oil. It’s frankly the worst smelling natural oil.
