Moderate use of lubricants is not harmful; long-term use may lead to infections in the female reproductive system. Long-term use of lubricants may lead to an imbalance in the normal flora of the vagina, reducing the self-purifying ability of the vagina, and changes in vaginal pH may lead to an increase in opportunistic infections. Therefore, try to avoid excessive use of lubricants in general. Lubricants should only be used appropriately when vaginal dryness is accompanied by difficulty in intercourse. After use, care needs to be taken to clean the area to minimize the effects. Lubricants may also increase the likelihood of developing peptic ulcers if swallowed by mistake. Therefore, hands need to be cleaned if they come into contact with the lubricant to avoid getting it into the mouth. The use of body lubricants is not recommended in pregnancy. Before use, it should be clarified whether there is any allergy to the ingredients of body lubricants.
