Lubricants in the Pregnant Women and New Mothers category are intended for women who want additional intimate comfort, reduced dryness and more pleasant care of the intimate area. During pregnancy, after childbirth and during breastfeeding, hormonal changes may affect mucosal moisture, skin sensitivity and the feeling of discomfort in the intimate area.
In the Lubricants category at ApotekaOnline, you can find products for intimate comfort and added pleasantness. This subcategory belongs to the wider Pregnant Women and New Mothers category, where you can also find products for breast care, breastfeeding equipment, postpartum girdles and other products for pregnancy, breastfeeding and recovery.
When are lubricants used?
Lubricants are most often used when there is dryness, tightness, stinging or discomfort in the intimate area. In new mothers, intimate dryness may occur due to hormonal changes, especially during breastfeeding, when estrogen levels may be lower. During this period, the mucosa may be more sensitive, so it is important to choose products carefully and use them according to the instructions.
During pregnancy and after childbirth, special attention should be paid to the product composition, individual sensitivity and any gynecological symptoms. If there is pain, bleeding, persistent stinging, unpleasant odor, discharge, infection or a wound after childbirth, advice from a gynecologist should be sought before using any intimate product.

Intimate dryness after childbirth and during breastfeeding
Intimate dryness after childbirth is not uncommon. It may be related to hormonal changes, breastfeeding, fatigue, stress, mucosal recovery and changes in everyday routine. In some women, discomfort is mild and temporary, while in others it may last longer and affect quality of life.
Lubricants may help reduce friction, dryness and discomfort. However, if childbirth was recent, if stitches, a wound, pain, infection or bleeding are present, it is recommended to wait for a check-up and approval from a gynecologist before using intimate products.
Joy Division Penisex stimulating cream
Joy Division Penisex stimulating cream is intended for intimate use and an additional pleasant sensation. As with all products used in the intimate area, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and not use the product if irritation, damaged skin or an allergic reaction to any ingredient is present.
For pregnant women and new mothers, additional caution is recommended, especially during postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, infection or increased mucosal sensitivity.
Joy Division Frenchkiss Raspberry stimulating gel

How to choose a lubricant?
When choosing a lubricant, it is important to consider its purpose, composition, individual sensitivity and the period the woman is in. New mothers and breastfeeding women often have more sensitive mucosa, so it is better to choose products that do not cause stinging, do not irritate and suit personal needs.
If a condom is used, it is important to check whether the lubricant is compatible with condoms, because certain ingredients may affect the material. It is always best to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
When should a lubricant not be used without medical advice?
- In case of pain, bleeding or a fresh wound after childbirth.
- In case of stinging, itching, unpleasant odor or increased discharge.
- When a vaginal infection is suspected.
- In case of an allergic reaction to previously used intimate products.
- When pronounced dryness lasts for a long time and does not improve with basic care.
- In high-risk pregnancy, when prior gynecological advice is needed.
