Lubricants 101: The Essential Guide to Lubricants for Cancer Survivors

Jill Squire, Oncology Certified Nurse Episode 28

In this episode, we explore the benefits of lubricants for cancer survivors, focusing on how lubricants can enhance sexual pleasure, make penetration easier with decreased penile firmness, relieve vaginal dryness, reduce pain during penetration, and decrease performance anxiety. 


  • Avoid lubricants containing irritants such as  chlorhexidine gluconate
     polyquaternium 
     fragrances
     glycerin
     propylene glycol
     parabens
     spermicide 
     menthol
     capsaicin
     flavors
     numbing agents like lidocaine

We hope this episode helps you feel more comfortable and informed about choosing and using lubricants to enhance your intimate experiences. Enjoy exploring together!
