What causes dryness?
The moisture balance in a woman’s vagina can be affected by various factors in her lifetime, such as stress and anxiety, medication, menopause, pregnancy, an operation and exaggerated feminine hygiene practices. Age is only one factor. Vaginal dryness is a common complaint during pregnancy, after childbirth, from breastfeeding and during menopause. It is caused by a hormonal imbalance due to a drop in the level of estrogens. The vaginal mucous membranes become thinner and more sensitive. This may affect the naturally occurring flora in the vagina, leading to an imbalance and dryness or vaginal infections.
What happens if you are too dry in sex?
When a woman's vagina is too dry during sex, this may be unpleasant or even painful as the friction can cause tiny tears in the walls of the vagina, leaving her more vulnerable to infection. This discomfort can lead to a lowered desire for sex with her partner, which may affect her relationship.
What lube should I use?
A quick and easy solution is to use a high quality water-based lubricant such as Sylk or Go Girl lubricant. For women who have hypersensitive skin and mucous membranes, silicone-based lubricants such as Man Slide may be preferable. For added excitement, a warming lube such as Jo H2O feels incredibly erotic and it heightens arousal. A good quality lube will remain thin and silky without congealing, so all you need is one tiny drop to do the trick. If the lube congeals, this may reduce sensation for you and your partner during sex. Start with a small amount and add if needed.
