Feature Article: The Importance of Your Vaginal Health Whether it’s stress, childbirth, medications you are taking or menopause, your overall health can affect the health of your vaginal tissues! You may experience painful intercourse or a lack of lubrication, which can make your intimate moments challenging. Intercourse may be painful when there is not enough moisture in the vagina or when the tissue lining the vagina becomes fragile because of lower estrogen levels in the body, such as during menopause. There are several methods available to relieve pain during intercourse and to maintain a high level of vaginal health, including using a lubricant, using a vaginal moisturizer and exercising your vaginal muscles. |

| Using a Lubricant
Although lubricants have been around for centuries, many women do not realize how great lubricants are at enhancing intercourse. Many women think that if they are not experiencing self-lubrication naturally, then they are not aroused, or that there is something wrong with them. We understand that this could not be further from the truth! Under perfect circumstances, a woman's body naturally becomes lubricated when she's aroused. However, external factors, such as stress, medication, diet or even sleep patterns can affect your body’s ability to naturally lubricate, often not producing enough moisture to last the duration of intimacy. However, a small amount of a lubricant applied to the penis, vagina or bedroom toy will ease penetration and take the place of the natural lubrication you might be lacking, allowing the whole experience to be more enjoyable for both partners. Intended for internal and external lubrication of the vagina, penis and anus, using lubricants is the easiest way to make intercourse and masturbation more comfortable for both a woman and her partner. While an abundance of lubricants are available in different colors, textures and flavors, Pure Romance lubricants come in two basic forms: water-based and silicone-based lubricants. You might also be interested in warming lubricants or other types of textured creams. While these lubricants do not take the place of an everyday water-based lubricant, they can add a dimension to your sexual experience, creating an inviting atmosphere of intimacy and sensuality. At the very least, regular use of lubricants will add to the satisfaction, comfort and safety of your intimate experiences. Water-based lubricants typically contain premium ingredients and non-toxic preservatives. Although available in both flavored and unflavored formulas, most unflavored lubricants still taste slightly sweet. Water-based lubricants do not stain, are safe for use with latex condoms and all other barrier birth control methods, and rarely cause irritation. While they often dry out during extended sex, water-based lubricants are quickly revived with a small amount of natural lubrication, water or saliva. Because of their versatility and effectiveness, water-based lubricants are the form of lubricant recommended most often by sex therapists and experienced couples. Pure Romance offers several water-based lubricants including Just Like Me and Sweet Seduction. Silicone-based lubricants are similar to water-based lubricants with one notable difference: they are completely waterproof, making them ideal for underwater use. They are highly concentrated, so they also retain their lubricating properties better and longer than water-based lubricants, so a little goes a long way! Due to their high level of concentration, silicone-based lubricants are the safest lubricants to use for any anal love-making. Silicone will not harm latex; however, silicone-based lubricants can harm bedroom toys made from silicone, so use a different lubricant when using your toys made with silicone. Silicone lubricants are also excellent for women with glycerin sensitivity and with age-related dryness that occurs more often than just during intercourse. Pure Romance’s silicone-based lubricant is called Pure Pleasure. Warming lubricants are intended to be a great foreplay lubricant to heighten arousal and sensation. Gently rub a dime-sized amount of a warming lubricant, such as sensations, into the skin, applying more as necessary. As you continue to massage, the warming lubricant will begin to heat up, causing your partner to feel a pleasantly warm sensation. While a warming lubricant may not be the best option for full-body massages, warming lubricants are great for genital massage, oral sex, or for massaging small, concentrated areas of the body, such as breasts or buttocks. Some warming lubricants contain oils and cannot be used with latex products, so make sure to read the label before using. Pure Romance offers several mouth-watering flavors of Sensations, our warming lubricant! Creamy lubricants are intended to enhance love-making, as well as to create a comfortable experience for a woman and her partner. The emollient texture can provide long lasting lubrication and help to prevent pain during intercourse. It is a wonderful lubricant to use with any bedroom accessory intended for use with a partner or on the male; aiding the comfort of the application and removal effectively enhances enjoyment for all involved. Some creamy lubricants contain oils and cannot be used with latex products, so be sure to read the label before using. Creamy lubricants are best for women who are not prone to vaginal irritation or infections. Enjoy Whipped, Pure Romance’s creamy lubricant!

Pure Romance’s estrogen-free vaginal moisturizer, Fresh Start, was developed to provide safe, instant and long-lasting relief from vaginal dryness for all women. Vaginal dryness is a common condition that can result from activities or events such as tampon use, childbirth, antihistamine use, birth control pills, anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications as well as other medications, stress, and natural or induced menopause. A vaginal moisturizer provides soothing relief for vaginal itching, burning and soreness that is associated with vaginal dryness. It can be applied to the source of discomfort for immediate relief. Fresh Start should be used approximately every two to three days and is safe for long-term use. Six applicators are included for comfort and accurate application and should be discarded after each use. Fill the applicator to the 1 ½ mark with the vaginal moisturizer and insert liquid into vaginal cavity. We recommend using Fresh Start before bedtime for the best results. Important: Fresh Start does not replace the use of a lubricant for intercourse. We recommend that you use a water-based lubricant in addition to the vaginal moisturizer every time you participate in intimate activities to relieve dryness and painful intercourse.

Practicing Kegel exercises can help to maintain a high level of vaginal health. Our Ben Wa Balls can help women effectively perform Kegel exercises. Below is a link to Pure Romance Ben Wa Balls. https://pureromance.com/EC_ProductList.aspx?categoryid=5 The Ben Wa Balls are our Kegel exercisers and serve to tone and strengthen the pubococcygeus or "PC" muscles, which form the floor of the pelvis. The health of these muscles plays a vitally important role in sexual arousal and climax, as well as in other aspects of bodily functioning. Even women who have never had children, as well as those who deliver babies by C-Section, need to be concerned about exercising the pelvic muscles regularly. Gravity, a drop in estrogen levels and not using these muscles causes them to weaken. It is important to remember that the only way to keep your pelvic, or PC, muscles strong is to do Kegel exercises regularly or to have orgasms regularly. To find your PC muscles, go to the bathroom and sit on the toilet. In the middle of your stream of urine, stop and start the stream several times. The muscles you use to do this are your PC muscles. At first, you may find that you are also squeezing your anal muscles; as you become experienced with Kegel exercises, try to pinpoint the muscle groups that you are able to exercise by squeezing. When you properly execute a Kegel, you should not feel your abdominal muscles, hips, thighs or butt cheeks tighten. It is important to only squeeze the internal pelvic muscles. Now that you have located your PC muscles, you can exercise them while your bladder is completely empty. First, lie on your back, insert one of the Ben Wa Balls into your vagina and try squeezing your PC muscles to hold the exerciser in for several minutes. You will want to practice both long holds and quick flutter holds. For example, for long holds, squeeze your pelvic muscles from low in your vagina up about four levels until you feel the squeeze almost under your navel. Build up until you can hold this full squeeze for a count of ten, ten times in a row. For quick, flutter holds; squeeze the pelvic muscles fast and hard ten times in a row. Once you can do these exercises lying down, gradually move to doing them while standing and then eventually even while walking around your house. Now figure out a suitable exercise routine just as you would if you were trying to tone and strengthen a different muscle group by going to the gym every other day. For example, suppose you start by being able to hold the exercise ball in for 30 seconds or a minute; try doing this three times a day for a couple of weeks, and then try increasing this to both balls, three times a day for a couple of weeks. Once you are skilled at Kegel exercises, you should be able to do them without anyone else knowing what you are doing... boring meetings at work, chores around the house, and other daily events all become opportunities to subtly work on improving your sexual health! Whether you decide to incorporate lubricants, a moisturizer, Kegel exercises or all three, into your routine of maintaining your vaginal health, remember the important information that goes along with each. Lubricants can ensure a pleasurable experience when masturbating, during oral sex, and penetration of a toy or a penis, even if your body is having trouble producing it’s own natural secretions. Long-acting vaginal moisturizers, such as Fresh Start can provide extended relief from vaginal dryness. And don’t forget to exercise your PC muscles, whether it’s while using the Ben Wa Balls or by exercising them on your own! It may sound surprising, but frequent sexual activity is one of the most effective remedies for improving your vaginal health and combating vaginal dryness. Let’s get healthy, ladies! |
