What to Do When Sex Hurts.
Unfortunately, many of us will experience pain during or after sex in our lives. It could be caused by a medical condition, changes in hormones, post-birth tearing, menopause, or even just being a little dry down there (or maybe all of the above?). No matter what the reason, it can be stressful on you and your partner, and can result in more anxiety during intimacy. We highly recommend speaking openly to your healthcare provider about any pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse. A doctor can offer support and personalized guidance to better understand the cause of your pain and potential solutions. If a personal lubricant is recommended, we’re here to help.
When our founders experienced pain during sex due to illness and recovery after giving birth, they created Upstate Mary’s CBD lubricants to make intimacy more comfortable and enjoyable. Here are three products they recommend to heighten libido, relax your body, and enhance your experience.
Friday Arousal Oil With CBD
Did you know CBD can help improve your sex life? That’s right. The super-charged ingredient can promote relaxation and increase your comfort during intimate moments. Our Friday Arousal Oil is a CBD lube made with a mind-blowing blend of organic and all-natural botanicals for a stimulating experience. We suggest gently massaging one to three pumps or the desired amount to your vulva (which includes your clitoris and labia) about 5 to 10 minutes before sex or solo play. It may also be used for oral and anal play, solo or with a partner.
Slide Intimacy Oil With CBD
Our best-selling intimacy oil is formulated with only two ingredients, certified-organic MCT coconut oil and CBD. The full spectrum CBD sex oil enhances relaxation, sensation and moisture. Slide Intimacy Oil is our secret weapon for a major moisture extravaganza. We recommend applying this one much like the Friday Arousal Oil, but if you wish for a more juicy experience, reapply as needed for additional lubrication and stimulation. Of course, a partner is optional, but pleasure is not.
Hunter Intimacy Melts With CBD
If you’re experiencing painful penetration, you’ll love Hunter Intimacy Melts. It’s a suppository packed with full spectrum CBD. Hunter brings comfort, relaxation and lubrication to every sex sesh. About 5 to 10 minutes before sex, insert the melt for increased pleasure. Or, you can insert after sex to ease muscle fatigue or tenderness in your intimate areas. These little wonders are amazing for menopausal women, too. Experiment with regular or daily use to enhance tissue oxygenation and soothe discomfort. Our 100% all-natural and organic full spectrum hemp CBD-infused suppository (THC ≤ 0.3%) can be used as a daily moisturizer to help ease tension and improve skin elasticity.
We believe everyone deserves the right to experience sexual pleasure. Our intimacy lubricants nurture your body, while delivering comfort during sexy time.
