Is making your own homemade water based lubricant safe and effective for intimate use? - #22355
I am really curious about homemade water based lubricants! So, recently I’ve tried using some store-bought lubes, but honestly, some of them just don’t feel right or irritate my skin. I started looking into homemade water-based lubricant options. I’ve read a few articles about how simple it is to make your own, using ingredients like aloe vera gel, or even just plain water with a bit of cornstarch. Then it got me thinking – is it really safe?? I mean, the last thing I want is to create something that messes with my pH or causes infections. I also heard that natural stuff is usually better for your body, so should I trust this? I want to know if there are any recipes that you guys would recommend or maybe even ones to avoid! When I think of a homemade water based lubricant, I’m sometimes worried that it won’t be slippery enough or might just dry up way too quickly. Like, are there any tips for making it last longer? And what about storage—can I just leave it in the bathroom or does it need to be refrigerated? I'd love to hear y'alls personal experiences, any advice on this would be super appreciated!
