The Clean Lubricant Guide

Helping you feel comfortable, connected & confident in intimacy

Pain during sex isn’t something you have to “just deal with" or "offer it up".

Whether you’re navigating dryness, postpartum recovery, hormonal shifts, or simply want to feel more at ease in your body, the right lubricant can make all the difference.

This guide helps you choose clean, low-toxin lubricants that support intimacy and health—without compromising your values or your fertility.

👀 What’s Inside:

✅ A simple breakdown of lube types (water-based, oil-based, silicone-based)
✅ Why some lubes harm fertility—and how to choose what’s safe
✅ My curated list of brands I trust and recommend
✅ Catholic teaching: is it okay to use lubricant? (Yes—and I explain why!)
✅ Postpartum, perimenopause, & sensitive skin support
✅ Application tips, clean-up tips, and real Q&A from Catholic women

⚠️ Why Most Lubes Aren’t Created Equal

You might be surprised to learn that many mainstream lubricants (like KY Jelly) are hyperosmolar, meaning they draw moisture out of your vaginal cells—causing tissue damage, irritation, and even lowering the chances of conception.

Other lubes contain parabens, glycerin, and petrochemicals linked to yeast infections, hormone disruption, and pH imbalance. And the worst part? Most of these ingredients aren’t well regulated in the U.S.

That’s why I made this guide—to help you cut through the noise and find options that are safe, effective, and fully aligned with your faith and values.

💡 Why This Guide Is Different

This isn’t just a list of products—it’s a full-body, whole-person approach to intimacy. I help you understand how lubricants work, what to look for, and how to support your marriage, your body, and your peace of mind.

Because your body is good. And your experience of intimacy should reflect that.
