Some can <strong>irritate sensitive tissues<\/strong> or even worsen dryness if they have the wrong pH, osmolality, or ingredients.

style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><b>Check the pH<\/b>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 20px;\">\n \t<li>A healthy vaginal pH is <strong>3.5\u20134.5.<\/strong><\/li>\n \t<li>Choose a lubricant close to this range to avoid disrupting your natural balance (especially important if you\u2019re prone to infections).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n \t<li style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><b>Look at Osmolality<\/b>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 20px;\">\n \t<li>Osmolality measures how concentrated the lubricant is.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Hyperosmolar lubricants (too concentrated)<\/strong> can pull water out of your tissues, making dryness worse and increasing the risk of microtears.<\/li>\n \t<li>Choose a lubricant labeled as <strong>\u201ciso-osmolar\u201d or \u201clow osmolality\u201d (ideally &lt;380 mOsm\/kg)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n \t<li style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><b>Avoid Irritants<\/b>\nStay away from lubricants with:\n<ul
