http://personallubricant.com/blog The Romance & Intimacy Blog Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:51:54 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Dear readers, This is to be my final post for a while. Please feel free, though, to write into the blog with any personal lubricant questions or comments during the abeyance. http://personallubricant.com/blog/index.php/2008/08/01/final-post-for-the-time-being/ The Sliquid website now includes a very useful list of links to reputable information about the risks associated with both parabens and glycerin. Of course, you must keep in mind that the selection is clearly biased towards Sliquid's point of view. http://personallubricant.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/28/parabens-glycerin-bibliography/ I came across an article this morning about commuter rail in Long Island. One of the first things the author does is complain about is the presence of a K-Y ad on the train. As someone who has a lifetime of familiarity with the many frustrations of commuter railroads, to ... http://personallubricant.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/24/lubricant-on-the-railroad/ As a follow up to yesterday's post, I wanted to offer a link to an article I just found that lack of interest is a more common concern among women than lubrication problems. Although the two are linked, and problems with dryness is a very common concern. http://personallubricant.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/22/menopause-follow-up/ I wrote months ago about personal lubricant as a solution for women who experience vaginal dryness as part of menopause. However, what I neglected to mention, and what I think the lubricant manufacturers intentionally tip toe around is the fact that personal lubricant on its own is not a panacea ... http://personallubricant.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/21/vaginal-dryness-and-menopause-revisited/ I just read a great blog entry on Feministe that addresses both lubricants and the "sure grip" product I wrote about in my last post. I'm linking to it today as it points out that personal lubricant is high on the list of things women are not eager to buy ... http://personallubricant.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/17/feminist-perspective/ While researching my last post, I stumbled on a product that's new to me and perhaps to you as well: Sure Grip. It's not a personal lubricant, in fact it's sort of the opposite of a lubricant. It's a vaginal tightening cream. It's stocked by places that also carry personal ... http://personallubricant.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/15/sure-grip/ There are tons of lubricants for sale on Ebay, most of them offered not by individuals but virtual lubricant purveyors like Undercover Comdoms. I can't actual imagine the motivation for buying on ebay when there are so many established lubricant store with sites that are so much easier to navigate. I ... http://personallubricant.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/14/lubricants-on-ebay/ As a follow up on K-Y's Yours+Mine, I thought it worth pointing out that Yours+Mine currently tops drugstore.com best sellers list while also being one of the lowest rated lubricants on the entire site! This glaring contradiction seems typical of K-Y, though. This company is so consistnently creative in its ... http://personallubricant.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/10/more-thoughts-on-k-y/ I've written about t.v. commercials a lot lately, so I thought it quite a coincidence when I was watching television with some friends and K-Y's Yours + Mine commercial came on (a commercial I've never actually seen outside of the internet). The commercial sparked a conversation that made me realize ... http://personallubricant.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/09/lubricant-novices/
