Yes, you read the title correctly! It can be tough to discuss intimacy in an open forum, so it can be really difficult when you encounter a problem in this (ahem…) area.  After giving birth to my son this summer I began nursing immediately. He was born via emergency c-section late at night in June, and I even started nursing as soon as I returned to my room after the surgery.  Those first few weeks were so amazing, and any level intimacy was far from my mind, and doctor ordered!

After a few months went by,  we were really missing time together, but I encountered several problems with dryness.  I discussed this with my obstetrician, and she explained that this was very common, especially when nursing. However, once I finished nursing I noticed that it didn’t go away.  This can be extremely inconvenient, and really doesn’t help when the mood strikes. Also, not all personal lubricants are created equal. However, KY has a product called K-Y® Liquibeads that can be inserted once every few days so you are ready when the moment arrives.

*Please note: This product should not be used during pregnancy or while nursing.

Even though hubby and I have been married for seventeen years, and we’re used to the occasional interruptions of life, nothing is more irritating than when you’re in the mood, but have to stop to deal with a lubricant. With K-Y® Liquibeads you can insert them several days before so you can be spontaneous, and when the moment strikes, your body is ready.  Sometimes our bodies can’t keep up with our hearts, which is where K-Y® Liquibeads come in!

This is how I have looked most days for the last six months! I’m finding that the stress of having a nine year old, a five month old, and a spouse make it difficult to feel relaxed most of the time (I’m sure a lot of moms are agreeing right now)!  However, I’m trying to learn to take care of myself during this season, whether through exercise, massage, and of course, times of intimacy.  We’ve relied on the help of both of our moms during this time to take the boys when we feel we need a night to unwind, and we are so grateful for them! Romance takes time, space, and quiet, and that can be tough with two little ones running around!

As you can see it  comes with this handy applicator that you use to insert a bead once every few days so that your body is ready at a moment’s notice.  This process is very simple and I found it helpful to insert at night at bedtime so the outer coating had plenty of time to dissolve.

How To Use Liquibeads:

• The package comes with 6 ovule inserts and 6 applicators.
• Remove one ovule and insert it into the top of the applicator (shown above).
• Make sure you are in a relaxed position, and insert the ovule like you would insert a tampon.
• If you are pregnant or nursing, make sure to consult a doctor before using.

These were not located with the other personal lubricants at our local Walmart, so I’ve included a picture below to show you where it was located at my local store in case you have trouble finding it!
