3 key points - Choose your lubricant
- How do you and your partner feel after using it?
- Have you experienced an improvement in your sex life ?
- Will there be any sensitivity or tingling in the private parts?
LEXY Tips:
In fact, lubricants, like cosmetics and other personal products, will depend on each person's physique and skin type, so everyone's experience will be different .
The most important thing is to understand the ingredients of the product well and base it on yourself and your partner’s experience after trying it .
When choosing lubricants, pay attention to whether they contain glycerin ( Glycerin ) .
Glycerin is mostly an ingredient contained in warming lubricants and edible lubricants . However, because glycerin has the opportunity to affect the pH value of the vagina , it is easy to breed bacteria and increase the chance of vaginal inflammation . If women often suffer from candida infections , it is not recommended to use products containing glycerin to avoid inducing recurrence.
Never choose lubricant randomly! They will always be in close contact with your sensitive skin!
We think the same as you, from now on, take care of your sensitive skin!
