Let’s get one thing straight (or kinked): menopause is not the end of your pleasure journey—it’s the start of a whole new relationship with your body. Yes, hormonal changes can cause dryness and insecurities with loss of libido, but that doesn’t mean you have to put the brakes on intimacy and exploration.
The antidote that Peri & Menopausal women may or may not know is: a healthy coconut lube. Many women find that adding lube to their sexual well-being routine doesn’t just address physical changes but also enhances intimacy and self-confidence.
For peri & menopausal women, a good lube isn’t just about moisture—it’s about rediscovering comfort and joy. Water-based lubes offer lightweight hydration, while silicone lubes provide a long-lasting glide for more adventurous sessions. And for the natural Queens out there, organic coconut oil lube is a gentle, luxurious option that feels as good as it smells. It’s also antifungal, anti-bacterial and for most feminine parts, an absolute godsend. As the wonderful relationship psychologist, Esther Perel reminds us (via an interview with Krista Tippet), “Eroticism is the antidote to death,” and a quality lube can reignite that erotic spark, no matter where you are in life.
How to Decide What Works for You - Your post-menopause body deserves extra love and care. If you’re curious about coconut lube, start small—patch test it, use a little during intimacy, and pay attention to how your body responds. If raw coconut lube feels off, explore blended formulas designed for sensitive areas. And as always, when in doubt, check in with your doctor or gynecologist for advice tailored to your unique needs.
So, embrace this new season with open arms and open jars of lube (when getting intimate). Because pleasure doesn’t have an age limit—and you’ve got a whole lot of living to do.
