It’s also a good idea to always complete a skin patch test before you use your DIY lube on your genitals. What this means is that you’ll test out your homemade lube on a different area of your body, such as your wrist or arm, to make sure you’re not going to have any type of reaction, allergic or otherwise.

Sometimes a woman randomly gets wet while they’re doing the dishes and sometimes they don’t get wet when they’re highly aroused.” Did you know that it’s possible for you to make your own natural lube at home?

You squeeze it on your fingers, and if there’s a penis involved, you apply it liberally to the penis, and to the opening of the vagina [or anus].” It’s important to warm the lube first, she adds: “If you put cold lube on an erection, he might lose it.” And ASDA are not the only shop putting out gifts from the naughty-list, as Ann Summers has released an entire advent calendar, with a new spicy item behind each door. Important PSA: Definitely don’t try to substitute with a product not marketed as a sex or arousal gel, like Bengay or Icy-Hot, Cross notes. You might think it's the same thing since that stuff is also "cooling," but it's a really, r eally bad idea. "Those products aren't meant to go on such sensitive skin or inside the body," Cross says, so unless you like weird infections and reactions, keep 'em away from your vagina, mmkay?

The Ingredient List: Certain lube ingredients are known to cause vaginal irritation and/or infections—including glycerin, nonoxynol-9, and propylene glycol—so these are best avoided.

With that being said, Dr. Lincoln also notes that lubes are especially helpful if you have any concerns about vaginal dryness. "People who are in low estrogen states — such as those who are perimenopausal, postmenopausal, or breastfeeding — [can benefit from lubricants] as low estrogen can lead to thinning of the vaginal mucosa and decreased lubrication production," she says.
