C&EN: Studies Raise Questions on Safety of Personal Lubricants

[brittone2]

DH's chemistry mag (C&EN) came today, and this article was in it. I thought it might be of interest.

Some experiments indicate they may be contributing to cell damage and increased rates of STDs. They also mention they may impact vaginal flora, and thereby increase the likelihood of a woman developing bacterial vaginosis. It will be interesting to see where the research goes and how manufacturers respond.

Wow, that is really interesting.

I want to know where natural lubricants like coconut oil fall on the scale - that one is really growing in popularity.

Interesting. That's exactly what happens to me. Sorry for that TMI!

I wonder if there will be a run on the one named Good Clean Love. :tongue5:

daisymommy, thank you for your candor. I couldn't figure out what the problem was, but now I know!
