DH came home Friday night(yeah!) and we needed a few things to make his homecoming even more romantic..So, after dinner, we stopped off at Wal-Mart and bought a new tube of KY. Well, we get home and start to fool around. He whips out the new KY and slips in..Talk about freaking painful, fire and brimstone. Holy crap, I was in tears I was burning so bad. But, we kept going. Well, the other night, DH was playing *blushing* my gyno..*giggle* and he noticed how red and irritated my vagina was. So, he grabbed the new tube of KY and rubbed a little on me..I yelled so loud because it was burning. He grabbed a warm washcloth and wiped it away. He grabbed the OLD tube of KY and rubbed a little on, and nothing. It was a nice cooling sensation..Ah, felt nice. I grabbed both bottles and read the ingredients to find the difference, but I'm not sure which one is causing the problem. So, if anyone out that there is smarter with chemicals than I am, I'd be happy to hear your opinion before I take this up with the doc..
OLD TUBE INGREDIENTS: Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Methlyparaben
NEW TUBE: Purified Water, Glycerin, Hydroxyehtylcellulose, Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Gluconolactone, Mehtlyparaben, Sodium Hydroxide.
My first instict was the Sodium Hydroxide only because I know a little bit about it from chem class in HS, but c'mon..I wasn't quite sure. But, there's something there that's just burning the hell out of me and I'd like to know what it is so that I can avoid this one ingredient in products I use..Its kinda like latex. *shrugs*
