Good Clean Love Restore Moisturizing Personal Lubricant, 2 Oz (Pack of 1)

This is a little bit of a story, but it is worth reading if you are struggling and looking for a product that may help. I am post hystorectmy 5 years, prior to my hystorectomy, I got the occassional UTI from intercourse. I am 50 now, so I am sure I am in peri-menopause hormonially, even though I have my ovaries still. This year, I got several UTIs back to back, all after sex. They were so bad I just cried the following day. The problem for me, was that I had no issues during sex, but afterwards I felt like I had rugburn but inside of me. I decided a trip to a urogynecologist was in order, to see what could be done. She said I have some dryness, and slight atrophy and prescribed me a hormonal replacement cream. It was very expensive, even with my insurance. I came home and read about the prescriprion online, and the possible side effects of the prescription was terrifying. I was left in a space that either I choose not to have sex, or I did something about what was going on, because the constant UTIs were disabling, I couldn't function when I got one, I couldnt think about anything but the pain I was in. Since the hormonal cream my urogynecologist offered me had such scarry possible side effects, I decided to look around to find what else can I do to help myself. I tried coconut oil and even the Dr said coconut oil was fine, but I learned that coconut oil has a higher Ph balance than you do in your female parts. The problem with coconut oil (or products that are not ph balanced like this one) is that when the Ph is off down there, the microbiome that is naturally present will not thrive, leading to dryness, leading to pain after sex, leading to what I thought was a UTI. I read about every product like this, and was planning on getting this one, but a woman left a review about getting a yeast infection after using this. I did not need to add on a yeast infection to what I was already dealing with. Reading her comment made me unsure of getting this stuff... Then I realized she also said she was on HRT, and I read on the hormone replacement therapy cream the Dr prescribed me, could cause a yeast infection, among a lot of other issues I wont mention.. I am not saying that is what happened to the woman that left that review, but I decided given she is on HRT, and I have not had yeast problems (so far).. I would just try this product, especially given that there are so many great reviews. It is interesting to know, I am not entirely sure if I actually got UTIs or if I was just in pain from the friction of intercourse. I took multiple uranalysis this year, and they all came up with no bacteria in my urine. I was on antibiotics when I took them, so it could be that the UTI cleared when I was tested. It could also be that the friction from sex and less natural lubrication was causing the downspiral with the elasticity in my skin and it was just pain causing me to think it was a UTI. After spending a few days researching other natural products, and taking into account that if I found something natural I may need to use it on a regular basis, so a very expensive product may not be a great fit.. I decided to try this product, before trying the hormonal cream the Dr prescribed. I figured if it didnt work, I could just get the hormonal cream. I applied it three days in a row, and I could not believe the difference it made, I felt a lot better, but I also had not had intercourse to see if it would help with that. I know you can use this daily, but after the 3 days in a row of using this product, I started using it every 2-3 days.. The whole time I felt like things were back to where they were when I was younger. My other half and I decided to give my body some time before trying again, just to give myself a chance to heal, so we waited a few weeks to see how I responded to this cream. I started to feel back to normal and we decided to see if it would help with the burning in the days following intimacy... I used it a few hours before we had sex, and then again every days for the two days following, and, this product helped so much! I did not feel the burning sensation I ALWAYS felt the day after, and I did not feel like I got a UTI either. On the second day after, I did start to feel a little bit of uncomfort, and I thought..ok I am going to get a UTI, then I used this product and that feeling was almost immediatly gone. So it may be that I need to use it every day for the days following intimacy, as I learned in all this research, that sperm also throws your ph off. Thbis product has helped me regain the proper ph, and help with the dryness. I wanted to share this, because I STRUGGLED SO MUCH with UTI's and getting one (or feeling like I have one) everytime I was intimate with my partner was really disapointing. He also felt bad and nervous because he didnt want to hurt me and that is when I finally said I need help with something. I will also note that I took D Mannose supplements before, and after intimacy, and again for the two days following. D Mannose used to work by itself, but it stopped working. I took the D Mannose as a possible preventive because I know I got UTIs before, but I definiatly think they were made worse with the dryness issues. I think it was a combination situation with me, and probably a lot of women have this issue and just do not talk about it! If you are struggling with pain during or after inetercourse, just try this, its worth it.. Its not expensive and I love that its made with clean ingredients. This is a game changer for me, I no longer am worried about being intimate with my partner and stressed that I will be in pain in the days following. I just ordered a second tube, because I plan on using this regularly, unfortunately I do not think there is a "fix" outside of applying creams or other interventions, but this was worth every penny, so I will keep it on hand. I also want to try the other cream this company has, with the hyuloronic acid in it. I choose this one because reviews said it was thicker than the other one, and I felt that would be more moisturizing, but I know hyraulonic acid is helpful as well.

I love this product. For years i thought i was having a UTI after a relation with my husband. Turns out it's dryness. Plus being 46 prepares me for peri-menopause. After finally trying the Good Clean Love products i would not try any other. Even my mood is better the next day since my body is finally at ease.

Have used a few times as it was recommended in a magazine I read, not sure it does what it says but will keep trying to see if it helps

The product's smell is subtle but nice, not too floral. I'm peri-menopausal, and it really helps with dryness and just feeling pre-peri hydrated, overall. If there is any change in odour in that area due to pH imbalance, it takes care of that too. It is so unexpectedly nice that I really don't want to be without it after each daily bath. Also helps with a Diva cup, if you use it. Honestly one of the best products I've come across lately - recommended on Reddit. Only need a pea-sized amount, IMO, so even though the tube is small, lasts a long time.

This was a trial item, seems to be working but not sure it is a lasting product.
