S2 Ep98: Is your Lubricant HELPING or HURTING Your Vagina?

Dr. Streicher’s Inside Information: THE Menopause Podcast

Lubricants can be water based, oil based, silicone based, CBD infused, flavored...not to mention the ones that claim to elevate your orgasm and boost your libido. Not all lubricants are created equal, and the first lubricant you grab, probably won’t get you slip sliding away, and even worse, may end up damaging and dehydrating vaginal tissue.
In this episode, I am going to give you the low down on lubes…what they do, what they won’t do, which are the most slippery and how to use that lube.

• Petroleum Jelly
• Baby Oil
• Cooking Oil
• Water Based Lubricants
• Silicone Lubricants
• Oil Based Lubricants
• Warming Lubricants
• Flavored Lubes
• CBD Infused Lubricants
