What is the Best Lubricant to Use After Menopause?
Menopause, occurring between the ages of 45 and 55, can cause a dramatic shift in many aspects of a woman's life. This transition comes with challenges that require special care, including finding the best lubricant for post-menopausal women.
Lubricants are essential for post-menopausal women because natural lubrication significantly decreases due to the hormonal changes menopause causes. The need for additional lubrication can increase discomfort during sexual intercourse and could lead to painful tears of the vaginal wall if not addressed.
Finding the right lubricant is key to ensuring a comfortable experience both during intercourse and any other activities (including masturbation) that involve skin contact.. Here are some tips on how to choose and use the best lube for post-menopausal women:
Read Labels Carefully: Be aware of ‘warming’ sensations listed on lubricants as they often contain menthol or capsaicin which can irritate already fragile tissue further. Similarly it’s important to avoid oil-based lubes if using condoms as these reduce condom effectiveness significantly!
Try Different Types: Depending on your needs you may find different types work better than others - think hormone creams, water based gels and moisturizers etc - even experimenting with different levels of consistency (gels versus thick creamy textures etc). Don’t be scared to experiment until you find something suitable!
Keep Trying New Things: As your body goes through further changes you may find your preferences change too - don’t be afraid to keep trying new things until you find what works just right so long as you follow safety guidelines when doing so!
