allergic to lube?

Question

recently my boyfriend and i have been using lube during sex. no we don't use condoms, and i'm on birth control. he plays kinda rough with his fingers but not bad. i fell i might be allergic to it because after intercourse once or twice my vag walls swell not allowing even fingers to go into without hurting like hell. anyone have something i can use that i am less allergic to. i used "wet" lube (tahts the brand) and also ky warming gel a while back. could the lube also cause me to have a yeast infection? the swelling goes down completely in about 4-5 days ughh

help!

Answer 1

Wet has a little bit of sugar in it, and it can cause yeast infections.
glycerin. (spelling?)

look up this site
www.talksexwithsue.com
scroll down to lubes
she suggest a silicone lube if you are allergic to lubes with the glycerin in it.

I am prone to yeast, and really have to watch the contents of lube, wash up after sex, and make sure my partner is clean.

Does this happen when he wears a condom?
once i was allergic to my b/f's ***!

do check out this site

i hope this helps

otherwise, don't be embarassed, go see the doctor!
have your b/f trim his finger nails.
is he circumsized? check and make sure he doesn't have signs of yeast.

Allergic To Lube

Answer 3

Lube is all chemicals, and people tend to have allergic reactions to chemicals. Many people have reactions to nonoxyl-9, which is in many lubes. Even if it isn't in the one you're using, though, you could be reacting to any of the million other chemicals in the lube. As long as you're not relying on condoms for birth control, you might try just plain old vegetable oil or Crisco if you need some slide. It's messy, and the slippery effect doesn't last as long, but it won't irritate you. (It'll damage condoms, though, so don't use it with those.) As for yeast infections--any irritation disrupts the whole system, which means you're ripe for infection. Try the vegetable oil; if the problem doesn't stop immediately, see a doctor (after all, it could be something else).

Answer 5

I use "Astroglide" and it's the only one I'll ever use for intercourse. I used to have that same problem and one of my gay friends told me about Astroglide( I know, I know... but he should know right? lol). It doesn't bother me because it's a water based lubricant. I've used KY warming but I like that for external foreplay, not a primary intercourse lube because it just doesn't seem to lubricate enough but it's also water based. You can get Astroglide at any drug store like Walgreen's, Longs Drugs, CVS pharmacy... Try it out. I love the stuff. :)

Answer 6

like both, fruits: berries, oranges, pears, peaches, dragonfruit, pomegranate.... Vegetables: CUCUMBERS, bok choy, green beans, broccoli,.... I actually guess the two are great.

Answer 7

I agree with the Astroglide, it is the only one I do not have a reaction to, the warming gel could cause that, also tell your boyfriend to stop being even kind of rough!!

Answer 8

Your boyfriend needs to be more gentle because he is probably scratching the walls of your vagina and causing you to swell. You can consult your doctor about it. If not, try this stuff. http://readylube.com/index.html

Answer 9

Hmmm let me guess?? sounds like you need to go to the docter and get checked out. Oh yeah and does it burn when your bf goes p? lol

Answer 10

it's probably an STD, that is why it hurts and swells, does it burn?, and u say yeast infection, no it's not, it's an STD, maybe your BF is sleeping with someone else?
