Plate 5 of 10
Lubrication
What makes it vary, which lubricant to choose, and what helps with dryness
Lubrication is one of those subjects people rarely talk about and around which many false ideas circulate. This plate explains what makes it vary, how to choose and use a lubricant, then answers with facts the questions people often keep to themselves. It is for anyone looking for comfort, alone or as a pair.
During arousal, blood flows to the vulva and the vagina, and fluid passes through the vaginal wall: this is lubrication. The amount is not fixed. It changes from one day to the next and from one stage of life to another.
Secretions from the cervix change over the month: rather dry after the period, more abundant and slippery around ovulation.
