Excess Vaginal Moisture: What Are Your Options?

Vaginal Moisture During Sex: YOU MAY BE WETTER THAN NEEDED!

Most of us assume that sex is better when wet, but do you feel as much as you could during intercourse? Just like a car engine, an upper and lower range is required for maximum performance.

Too much natural lubrication (moisture) during sexual intercourse reduces pleasure for both partners. Females lose more stimulation along the vaginal walls. Men lose the corresponding “tight” feeling they love. We all have an optimal level of friction that is required to allow for greater pleasure for both partners, leading to an easier climax. This level of stimulation can be most easily obtained by experimenting with your humidity level. Sex could be so much more fulfilling than you think it already is.

A woman’s moisture level naturally increases as arousal increases. But for some women, even the slightest arousal is enough to produce an extravagant amount of lubrication. If excess humidity is a problem for you, OR if you simply want to experiment with different levels of humidity, seeking the most pleasurable ‘tight’ feeling for your man, what can you do?

First, realize that there is more to sex than just the intercourse part. More women achieve orgasms through clitoral stimulation than through intercourse. However, intercourse is an intimate act and should be satisfying when possible. If it’s not nice, a couple will most likely become romantically distant. This is the beginning of the deterioration of the marriage.

Second, you should see your doctor to make sure there isn’t an infection, abnormalities, or other problem causing the excess moisture, especially if it’s something new. Don’t risk it!

Medical Options:

The most radical solution to excess moisture is surgery. This should be your last resort, and is rarely necessary. Other medical procedures include freezing or lasering of the cervix to reduce secretions, electrical stimulation, and magnetic field treatment. These treatments can be painful, expensive, and time consuming. There is no guarantee of success or that the problem will not return.

Non-medical options:

There are numerous options, but few realistic ones. Here are some common things couples try (including some “old wives’ tales”) and feedback on their effectiveness.

1) Anything that dries out your mouth. In general, if it dries out the mouth, it will also affect the vagina a little. Examples would be decongestants, antihistamines, cold formulas, certain antidepressants, alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana. While these can work to some degree, the humidity and corresponding tightness levels are not controllable, not to mention a dry mouth isn’t as tasty during kissing and leads more to bad breath due to lack of saliva.

2) Try an alum shower. We’ve heard of this, but we don’t know of a doctor who would recommend it. Alum works to contract the lining of the vagina, but it can be irritating and cause yeast infections. There is no way to judge how long it will last or to control the degree of fit.

3) Use a ribbed condom or penis sheath. Excess moisture is still a problem with or without a condom. Penis sleeves help a man feel more, but they tend to numb a woman’s vagina after a few minutes, making her uncomfortable.

4) Take a shower with running water. This has some impact by reducing the amount of natural lubrication, but the effect tends to wear off as a woman’s arousal increases, resulting in even more lubrication being secreted.

5) Insert a sponge or cloth. One of the most embarrassing techniques, as it must be performed intermittently. Couples find this a big turn off. However, the technique is to wrap a thin sheet/towel around a couple of fingers. Insert fingers to absorb vaginal moisture. Proceed with intercourse. Repeat as necessary. While this method works, re-entry into the vagina is difficult and painful because this method absorbs ALL the lubrication. However, after a few minutes, as the excitement builds again, there will again be too much moisture. With this method, there is no way to control the desired level of humidity and tightness.

6) Use of a fan that blows in the genital area. It is not a practical solution, as it mainly causes the partner to cool down, while having little impact on internal vaginal secretions.

7) Use of birth control pills. An old wives’ tale without any validity.

8) Reposition your body. Certain positions, such as closing the legs, work to tighten the vagina, but unless the man has a longer than average penis, he will find it much less satisfying due to more shallow penetration.

9) Insert an ice cube into the vagina to cause muscle contraction. Another old wives tale, not to mention the obvious discomfort.

10) Vaginal cones. Very similar in concept to Kegal exercises. The idea here is to exercise the vaginal muscles by holding an object inside the vagina by flexing the inner muscles. Inside you can place increasingly heavy weights. The theory is sound, but women have a hard time staying on this type of program long enough for it to be beneficial, not to mention, like any muscle, if you don’t continually work it, it will lose its strength. The other disadvantage is that to be beneficial during intercourse, a woman must consciously flex her inner muscles, which reduces her ability to relax and enjoy the act of intercourse itself.

11) Creams. There are a couple of these on the internet now being marketed under many different names. If you already suffer from excess moisture, adding a cream to the existing problem is not going to help. Manufacturers say the creams have a tightening effect on the vagina in 15 to 30 minutes, but the evidence shows that any NOTICEABLE tightening effects are minimal or none. The application of the cream to the inner walls of the vagina is difficult, embarrassing, and must be properly timed to coincide with intercourse. Some of the creams contain benzocaine, alum, or petroleum jelly, none of which are recommended to be inserted into the vagina. For more information on these creams, search the internet on ‘vaginal tightening’.

12) AbsorbShun natural powder. It is an ‘all natural’ powder that both men and women can apply to the man’s penis. It is simple and quick to use, and it has a noticeable moisture absorption effect within 1-2 minutes. The more powder used, the greater the absorbency, allowing partners to find (and control) their preferred level of moisture and tightness.

Whichever option you choose, you must find a solution that is satisfactory to both partners. Finding the right level of lubrication can lead to greater sexual pleasure, more frequent intercourse, and a closer relationship between partners.
