Abstract in brief

  • This study explored how women use lubricants during sexual activities, and found that using lubricants, especially water-based ones, is linked to higher sexual pleasure and satisfaction, both in solo and partner sex.
  • Water-based lubricants were associated with fewer genital symptoms compared to silicone-based lubricants, which suggests they might be gentler on the genital area.
  • Overall, women reported increased pleasure when using lubricants and experienced few genital symptoms, indicating that lubricants can enhance sexual experiences without causing significant health issues.]
