Even though vaginal dryness is a normal symptom of perimenopause and menopause, it can still be frustrating and painful.

There I met the store's co-owner, Claire Cavanah, to learn about sexual lubricants ... water-based or silicone-based, gloppy like hair gel, slick like saliva, or silky like lotion.

These "professional-grade" products include an electric parts cleaner, a silicone spray, a degreasing lubricant, and a dry lube. The Specialist line also features the Gel Lube no-drip spray ...

Natural lubricant products can contain fewer ingredients ... The company states that this product is compatible with silicone toys and suitable for water play. However, these are oil-based options.
