Hey I was looking for some natural lubricants and just came across Emerita natural

and O'my. Has anyone ever tried it or heard of it?? O'my sounds good...it says it contains Hemp which is known to discourage yeast, bacteria and fungi infections. Please let me know if anyone has ever tried it. Thanks!!!

Hi dreamydaffodil,

If I were you I’d be careful what I used as a lubricant, especially if I was on hormonal contraceptives. Very few, if any, lubes have been tested by the FDA so we aren’t certain if they interact with medicines or not. If you are on hormones it would be a good idea to ask your pharmacist if s/he thinks there might be an interaction between the ingredients in the lube and your birth control that might lower your protection. Emerita Natural has cinnamon and vanilla in it and if O’my has hemp you might have an allergic reaction. We recently had a member post who thinks she might have had a reaction to the ingredients in a warming lube. That's pretty rare but it does happen so take care.

Good luck,

      Jill

I did get a reaction to the warming lube. I need some lube and don't want my husband to go down on me everytime we decide to make love. I was looking for some all natural lubes and thats what I came up with. I am not on any BC at all and i am way to shy to ask my pharmicist anything. What do you think? Thanks!

I don't think these would be what you would call 'natural' but the lubes that I have been pleased with are Astroglide and especially Eros Body Glide Ultra for underwater sex. Eros Body Glide works wonderfully well for me. It is a silicone based product and is: “Latex and rubber compatible. Tasteless, odorless and fragrance-free. Hypo-allergenic Excellent non-staining massage”
