The use of personal lubricants has become popular with couples of all ages and backgrounds. It clearly makes sex more fun, especially during long love making sessions. It is an absolute must for foreplay, anal intercourse and masturbation. There are so many lubes to choose from and so much misinformation. The references below clearly show that natural personal lubricants that use plant oils and vegetable oils are recommended for all forms of sex play by Gynecologists, Obstetricians, Medical Research, Medical Hospitals and Universities and other qualified sex and relationship advisors.
For women who experience vaginal dryness or discomfort during sexual intercourse personal lubricants are regularly recommended as a first line of treatment - but not just any over the counter lubricant. The class of vaginal lubricants that are regularly suggested for their non-irritating, long lasting lubricating effects are vegetable and plant based oils. In contrast numerous sources recommend AGAINST most popular water based lubricants including KY Jelly and Astroglide. Astroglide has even been classified as result[ing] in severe irritation and tissue damage and both KY and Astroglide were classified as “unsafe for rectal [anal] use”. Compare that to the long list below of recommendations for botanical oils as the best personal lubricant.
For women who are trying to get pregnant, the use of personal lubricants is also a concern. Amore™ is sperm-friendly. Once again the most popular lubricants, K-Y Jelly and Astroglide were found to inhibit sperm motility [the sperms ability to swim] 60 to 100% after one hour while vegetable oil had no negative effects. |

With any prolonged sexual experience, an oil-based lubricant can play a pivotal role. In Dr. Alan Brauer's national bestseller ESO™ (Extended Sexual Orgasm), he states:
"One supply you'll need is a good lubricant. It must be oil-based, not water-based. You will need a lubricant for ESO because you'll be stroking delicate tissues for long periods of time. Natural lubrication, even from women who naturally lubricate extensively during sex, isn't adequate. Neither is saliva. Neither are lotions, creams, jellies, nor any other water-based substances." |

Use vegetable oil as a lubricant for intercourse. Joanne J.Yount, Clive C. Solomons, PH.D, et all;Women's Health Digest,Volume 3, Number 2, 1997. |

Sex should be enjoyable and pain-free. There are things you can do to prevent vulva skin damage, irritation, tearing and soreness afterwards:
• Use natural, clean vegetable oil as a lubricant to make sex more comfortable and enjoyable.
• Oil is great fun during foreplay for you and your partner. It avoids pain during sex by being the best lubricant.
• Use Vegetable oil( seame, sunflower or
canola oil) during foreplay to have fun and help
lubricate you and your partner before vaginal intercourse.
This can decrease friction and soreness on the
vulva, vagina, urethra and the clitoral area.
Please note: Vegetable oil cannot be used with latex condoms (causes breakdown of latex and the condoms break) but is safe to use with Avanti condoms (by Durex).
• Avoid synthetic water based products like K-Y Jelly, Replens or Astroglide which dry during intercourse causing further dryness and irritation. They also contain chemicals and preservatives—many women have been frustrated with lubricants that cause irritation. Dr. David Gerber, Dept of Gynecology |

I think it's a good time to experiment with different products for lubricant. Some people use almond oil, coconut oil, or Crisco [oil] if you're not worried about condoms.

The use of latex condoms with a vegetable oil as a lubricant is suggested to protect your skin. Petroleum-based lubricants may affect the integrity of condoms when used for birth control or prevention of sexually transmitted infections. Our experience has not found this to be a problem with vegetable-based oils. However, the Centers for Disease Control recommends that condoms not be used with any oil based lubricants for birth control or prevention of sexually transmitted infections.

Vaginal dryness may develop from the removal of your ovaries and the loss of the hormones (estrogen and progesterone) that the ovaries make. If sexual intercourse is painful because your vagina is dry, use a vaginal lubricant such as […] a polyunsaturated vegetable oil that does not contain preservatives. Do not use petroleum jelly (for example, Vaseline) as a lubricant because it increases the risk of vaginal irritation and infection. Yahoo Health; Anne C. Poiner, Md & Ross Berkowitz, MD, reviewers |

Remember to check the product labels to be sure the one you choose contains no harsh chemical ingredients, petrochemicals, endocrine disruptors, or irritants to which you may have a sensitivity, such as alcohol, parabens, or propylene glycol. Natural oils, such as grape seed, sweet almond, sunflower or apricot, can be very soothing for use during sexual intercourse. Marcy Holmes, NP, Certified Menopause Practitioner |

Though KY jelly is probably the best known and most widely available brand, it is not the most effective because it tends to dry out and gets sticky very quickly... You might also want to try natural oils such as apricot or coconut.
Once you feel your vagina is suitably lubricated and dilated, the best way to prevent the problem recurring, or worsening further, is to have sex as often as you can. In studies, post menopausal women who have regular sex report fewer symptoms, and on vaginal examination show fewer signs of vaginal atrophy than those who are sexually inactive. Dr Thomas Stuttaford and Suzi Godson ] |

Mucosal irritation potential of personal lubricants: Two moderately hyperosmotic lubricants, Replens and K-Y jelly (2143 and 2463 mOsm/kg), induced mild and moderate irritation, respectively. The highly hyperosmotic lubricant Astroglide (5848 mOsm/kg) resulted in severe irritation and tissue damage. Adriaens E, Remon JP; Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Technology] |

Relative safety of sexual lubricants for rectal intercourse: Of the products tested, Delube and KY-Plus are most likely to damage the rectal epithelium, whereas Viamor, Vagisil, and Astroglide would cause some degree of rectal damage.

Vaginal dryness and atrophy is a silent epidemic that affects many women who are undoubtedly suffering in silence. This chronic and progressive medical condition has been estimated to affect up to 50%-60% of postmenopausal women; some healthcare providers believe this estimate is lower than the actual incidence. With increased life expectancy, the impact of vaginal dryness on quality of life, sexual functioning, and urogynecologic health is becoming more evident in the day-to-day practice of medicine. Many younger women and those in perimenopause (or in the transitional period) may also experience periodic vaginal dryness and associated problems.
Nonhormonal treatments: Some women may have a sensitivity or allergy to components of moisturizers or lubricants. OTC products may contain warming additives, dyes, perfume, bactericides, or spermicides that can further irritate already sensitive, dry vaginal mucosa. Other common vaginal and vulvar irritants include benzocaine, chlorhexidine, preservatives (parabens and propylene glycol), and condoms made of latex or containing lanolin. Petroleum-based products (eg, mineral oil and petroleum jelly) can interfere with condom efficacy and disturb the natural balance of vaginal flora, so these should be avoided. Michael L. Krychman, MD, Medscape Ob/Gyn & Women's Health [L] |

Dryness and irritation during intercourse may be helped by using a lubricant. Use a small amount of a pure vegetable oil ... The vegetable oils contain no chemicals to irritate vulvar/vaginal skin. Vegetable oils will rinse away with water and will not increase your chances of infection. Water based products like K-Y Jelly are helpful, but may tend to dry before intercourse is over and also contain chemicals that can irritate your vulvar skin.

Vaginal lubricants for the infertile couple: effect on sperm activity: Commercial lubricants inhibited sperm motility by 60-100% after 60 minutes of incubation. Sperm exposed to Replens or Astroglide were nonmotile and nonviable [dead] after incubation for 60 minutes, similar to the control, nonoxynol-9 containing product Gynol II. Canola oil had no detrimentaleffects and was indistinguishable from Ham's F-10 in terms of sperm viability and motility.Kutteh WH, Chao CH, Ritter JO, Byrd W: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas |
