It is generally safe to use lubricants for sex, but side effects may occur in some cases.
1. Allergic reactions
Symptoms: Redness, itching, swelling, or tingling of the skin.
Causes: Some ingredients in lubricants may trigger allergic reactions, such as fragrances, pigments, or preservatives.
Prevention: Before using a new lubricant, you can test it on a small area of your skin.
2. Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Symptoms: Using certain lubricants may cause vaginal dryness or discomfort.
Causes: Some lubricants may contain irritating ingredients or may not be suitable for an individual&39;s physique.
Prevention: Choose a non-irritating lubricant and make sure it is suitable for an individual&39;s physique. Water-soluble lubricants are generally gentler and suitable for most people.
3. Risk of infection
Symptoms: Symptoms of vaginal or urinary tract infections may occur after using lubricants, such as abnormal discharge, pain, or odor.
Causes: Some lubricants may contain ingredients that cause infection or chemicals that keep them moist.
Prevention: Choose lubricants without added fragrances and preservatives, and ensure proper cleaning before and after use.
4. Compatibility with contraceptives
Symptoms: Lubricants may affect the effectiveness of contraceptives.
Causes: Oil-based lubricants may damage the integrity of latex condoms, leading to contraceptive failure.
Prevention: Use water-soluble lubricants, which are usually compatible with latex condoms.
5. Individual differences
Symptoms: Everyone has a different physique and reacts differently to lubricants.
Causes: The ingredients in the lubricant may not match the individual&39;s physique.
Prevention: Choose a lubricant that suits your physique and choose according to your personal needs. Consulting a doctor or pharmacist can also get advice.
