[MUSIC PLAYING] EVELYN MINAYA: Vaginal lubricants are the simplest solution to vaginal dryness,
but not all lubricants are created the same. [MUSIC PLAYING]
There Are some lubricants that are really more water-based than anything. And they dissipate quickly, as opposed to silicone
lubricants, which tend to last a little bit longer.
How do you know the difference? That's really easy. You take the actual lubricant. If you rub it in between your fingers,
and pretty soon you have nothing in between them, that means it's a little bit too, too thin, it's probably not going to last you long. Not only that, it's not going to even help you
with your problem. But a lubricant that you rub in between your fingers, and it feels thicker and smoother,
those are the types of lubricants that you want. [MUSIC PLAYING]
Vaginal lubricants are very easy to use. I would want you to take an old applicator, if you have one,
fill it up with the lubricant, and pop it into the vagina. Also, remember you can use some of the lubricant
on the shaft of the penis as well so that it can make it very easy for you to have intercourse.
