Lubrication Help..

Hello!

I need some advice.. Well, my bf and i have been together for over a year and 1/2. Im very petite and my bf was blessed down below. So, put 2 & 2 together, sex hurts! I dont produce natural lubrication (i think due to birth control and wht not-frustrating!) So we must rely on other forms of lubrcation. We have tried quite a few of them, and NOTHING lasts long or stays wet. Its a pain to always stop and re apply or afterwards im in pain, and im usually burning or something. We have tried Liquid Silk, Astroglide, ID, Eros..and none has worked well. Liquid silk performed the best out of those, but still not quite what we want. Does anyone know of a lubricant that will survive longer than a few mins and stays wet?? Please help. Thanks!

Try the KY Liquid

Also Many people dont like it, My Husband included - But it works and lasts a long time: The KY Jelly.

It seems a bit goopy and greasy although it is water based... thats why alot of people dont like it. But the fact that it is a bit more goopy and greasy feeling is part of the reason it lasts longer.

Give it a shot you'll either love it or hate it.

Oh and dont foget, When Lube runs low during sex and you dont want to stop, a little saliva from you or your partner goes a LONG way - saliva has gotta be one of the best lubricants and doesnt take away from the experience.

The Ky jelly is a bit goopy, but i do remember it lasting a while. I remember i didnt like it too much..but if it works, then great. I know saliva is the best lube, so thats why he usually does oral on me before, but sometimes we want a quickie and its a hassel getting the lube, applying it, then it drying, stopping, applying more, ..etc.

Is it the BC thats doing this to me? Or do some women not produce lube as much as others??..

K-Y warming lube is overhyped. We tried it and won't be replenishing it. The "Adam and Eve Personal Lubricant" has worked for us. It's water based.

You could always discuss it with your OB/GYN and see if there are other B/C pills that don't have those side effects.

Good luck and hope you find what you are looking for!

You could try one of those silicone-based lubes. Not sure what they're called though. We got a sample with a toy once and I couldn't find any more of it around when I looked. It isn't any "wetter" than the others, but it does seem to keep things silky smooth after the others would have dried out. Its quite a different feel compared to water-based lubes. I don't think that its good for condoms though, not that it sounds like that's an issue for you.

Astroglide is our personal favorite and we rarely have to reapply but Silk is our 2nd favorite and we were also pleased with the results. I don't think anything will stay on for more than half an hour or so though because it's not meant to. You might talk with your gyno about lubrication suppositories that adhere to the vaginal walls.
