Do you have a bad reaction to glycerin in lubes?

Glycerine doesn't seem to bother me, but I avoid both it and parabens anyway. The parabens for sure cause a reaction... ouch!

I'm all over the place. I've never gotten an infection or anything like that, but I do sometimes experience pain. Some lubes are either painless or cause such a small amount pain that it's easy to ignore (Wet Light and System JO, for example). Others make me feel like my vagina's on fire (Fun Factory's Toyfluid and Wet Synergy).

Eventually I just said, "Ah, screw it." Now I stick to Sliquid and other glycerin-free lubes. Best to play it safe, I say.

Glycerin gives me a yeast infection and just burning not fun times. I also get irritated from most silicone based lubes as well.

Voted for my girl - she's had issues with a few lubes that have glycerin.

I've had a yeast infection for > 2 years after using a glycerine lube ONCE. (I'm guessing the duration has more to do with the strain of yeast I "caught," but I will still never use glycerine again!)

Glycerin is an ingredient in just about every personal product, soap, lotion, etc. It would be so hard to avoid

What about Sliquid's Sassy Booty that Eden sells? That's what I use and I love it.

I use Fleshlight's Fleshlube in the water element and it doesn't bother me but the ice and fire lubes are labeled "for topical use only" on the bottle. For flavored lubes I use Sliquid Swirl because other flavored lubes taste like cough medicine.

I have had problems with some lubes but I am unsure if it's the glycerin or if it was something else in the formula. I have used some lubes that had glycerin in them and had nothing adverse happen.

we don't use it vaginally, so it hasn't been an issue

It doesn't really bother me so I use products with glycerin in the ingredients list.
