Why Your Lube Might Be Making Things Worse (And What to Use Instead)

Skip the chemical cocktails. Go with something like Coconu that works with your body—not against it.

Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get talked about enough: toxic ingredients in personal lubricants—and how they can actually make dryness worse, not better.

The Problem with Most Lubes

A lot of over-the-counter lubes contain ingredients like benzalkonium chloride. This chemical is often used as a disinfectant or preservative, but when it ends up in vaginal products, it can do more harm than good.

Here’s why:

  • It can irritate delicate tissue.
  • It can disrupt the natural moisture-producing glands.
  • Over time, it can make you more dependent on lube because it damages the very system designed to keep you moisturized in the first place.

Basically, you’re stuck in a cycle: the more you use it, the worse your natural lubrication gets.

The Better Option: Meet Coconu

This is where Coconu steps in. It’s a clean, non-toxic lube made with ingredients that support your skin’s natural moisture—not suppress it.

  • It’s free of hormone-disrupting chemicals.
  • It contains ingredients that may help improve skin gland function, so your body can start doing its own job again.

Bottom Line

If you’re struggling with dryness, the last thing you need is a product that makes it worse. Skip the chemical cocktails. Go with something like Coconu that works with your body—not against it.
