Lubricant Options
Sara recommends water-based lube. Here are some of her faves.

• Slippery Stuff
• The Lubricator by Diva Cup
• Good Clean Love

Vulva Moisturizer
Sara says that many everyday moisturizers are approved for use on the vulva, and some brands are starting to offer moisturizers specifically for vulvar tissue. Moisturizing is a great idea for those of us in perimenopause and menopause because these tissues tend to get drier as we age.

• Medicine Mama makes a vulva-specific balm that Sara loves
• And here is the same balm in stick form — great for travel!

Of course, don’t forget to pick up Sara’s excellent book, Floored: A Woman’s Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage, which will tell you exactly how to use all of the above!
