To improve comfort during sexual intercourse or as a complement to a condom, a standard water- and glycerin-based lubricant available at pharmacies is sufficient. However, its effects are short-lived because it evaporates quickly; therefore, reapplication is necessary. Some, made with polyacrylamide, form a moisturizing film and last longer. To spice up your sex life, you can choose scented formulas with a “warming” or “tingling” effect, or silicone-based lubricants, which are known to be “slicker”. “Be aware of the risk of sensitization. At the slightest sign of intolerance, stop using the product,” says Dr. Bagot. 

To avoid painful or uncomfortable intercourse, it’s best to choose a lubricant made with aloe vera gel or hyaluronic acid, which are moisturizing and soothing ingredients. The healing properties of hyaluronic acid relieve burning, tingling, or vulvar irritation that can accompany occasional vaginal dryness. With a longer-lasting effect than water-based lubricants, this type of lubricant should be applied one to two hours before intercourse.

To treat chronic vaginal dryness—which can be painful even outside of intercourse—use a lubricant in the form of ovules or with an applicator to deliver the active ingredients intravaginally: high-concentration or sustained-release hyaluronic acid, water-saturated polymers capable of releasing moisture, and sometimes anti-inflammatory and healing plant extracts. Because they last so long, they need to be used only every two or three days. However, they may reduce sperm motility and temporarily affect fertility.

Itching, irritation, burning… Vaginal dryness causes discomfort and makes sexual intercourse difficult. It’s best to use a lubricant at the first signs of discomfort to avoid further weakening the mucous membrane and aggravating the condition. They have a soothing effect and help repair and provide long-lasting hydration to the mucous membranes. Discover a wide range of high-quality, easy-to-use intimate lubricants —such as intimate gels, vaginal lubricants, or vaginal moisturizers—to restore comfort.

Why Use a Vaginal Gel to Soothe the Mucous Membranes?

• Relieving Vaginal Dryness:Vaginaldrynessis a common discomfort, particularly during certain periods such as menopause, breastfeeding, or after medical treatment. Moisturizing vaginal gels compensate for the lack of natural lubrication by providing immediate and long-lasting hydration.
• Restoring Intimate Flora Balance: Animbalance in the vaginal flora can lead to irritation, itching, or infections. Gels enriched with probiotics or prebiotics help restore the natural balance, thereby protecting against discomforts associated with disrupted flora.
• Relieving Irritation and Redness: Somevaginal gels contain soothing ingredients such as aloe vera or chamomile, which are ideal for calming irritation caused by friction, tight clothing, or sexual intercourse.
• Supporting Healing: Afterchildbirth, surgery, or a vaginal infection, healing gels help regenerate tissue while reducing the risk of infection.
• Improving Sexual Comfort:Vaginalgelscan also be used to make sexual intercourse easier, reducing friction and discomfort while respecting the sensitivity of the mucous membranes.
