My husband and I have only recently started to use lube at all - I didn't think I needed it but due to some gynae issues that cause pain, I've found that it stops the initial pain completely.
However, I'm concerned that I'm reacting badly to the Durex Play we are using. Cystitis and dryness to following day (which I only get when we use it), and it leaves behind what looks like little clumps of glue inside, which has me a bit freaked out.
So I'm trying to find something that is good for people who are sensitive to lube, I guess something as natural as possible.
Any tips? I haven't been able to find anyone having the same issues as me, but I do have a lot of internal scarring so it may be that this is just triggering something. At the moment I'm having to decide between pain during sex or pain the next day!
Hi there and welcome to the forums. I personally use Sliquid Sassy or Lovehoney’s own Anal Lube for everything as they don’t contain any chemical nasties, glycerin or parabens and are slightly thicker than normal lube and long lasting:
Atm I'm using the Gel version (second one) as it is a bit thicker and more cushiony (I believe it's supposed to be the organic version of Sassy but I think it's a bit thicker still).
I had the same problems as you, plus recurrent yeast infections which have stopped since I switched to this brand.
How about System JO organic http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/product.cfm?p=31211 there's no nasties in it i have had unpleasant reactions to a certain lube brand before (not sold on here) the JO organic lube doesn't give me any problems it's refreshing and moisturising
