Astroglide may contain some of the following: Purified Water, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Polyquaternium, Methylparaben and Propylparaben. It is applied directly to the genital area, and the amount used often varies depending upon personal preference and need. It is important to note that this product is not a spermicide or contraceptive, so it will not protect users against STD’s or pregnancy.

Users report that Astroglide has a smooth and silky texture that mimics vaginal fluid. This attribute can help users have a more productive sex life because it reduces friction, and helps give users new sensations that can increase sexual pleasure. Also, some women suffer from vaginal dryness, which can dramatically lessen sexual pleasure, or make sex far less enjoyable.

However, Astroglide will do little to directly heighten sexual desire or pleasure; although there are products available that are both a personal lubricant and a female sexuality booster. For instance, some developers have created products that use Peppermint Oil in their formula, because research shows it increases sexual pleasure in women, when applied topically. Its use can also help users retrain their nerve endings in the clitoris to create great levels of pleasure. This is especially useful if a woman is having trouble having orgasms.

We were rather disappointed to see that Astroglide contains Methylparaben and Propylparaben, both of which belong to a class of elements known as parabens. While parabens have a long history of being considered safe, so much so that they have been used extensively in cosmetics and many beauty products, however, they have now been linked to some intense health issues.

In fact, parabens have been identified as being estrogenic in nature and potentially disruptive of normal hormone functions, which can have wide reaching health related problems in some women. This is especially troubling because estrogen has been shown to be a factor in some breast cancers, so using these products may even put some women at risk. This product is placed directly on the genitals, which is very troubling given our concerns regarding this product-topical formulas are easily absorbed by vaginal tissue.

• Water Based
• Not sticky or greasy

• May not directly enhance sexual pleasure
• Does not contain peppermint oil

Astroglide is a personal lubricant, which will provide consumers with more lubrication, but it will do nothing to directly affect female sexual pleasure, or to enhance user’s ability to orgasm. Some individuals simply want a personal lubricant to make everything work a bit more smoothly, while other women are seeking a solution to sexual issues, or a way to intensify their sexual pleasure. For these women there are some highly effective topical products currently available on the holistic market.

The more effective products in this class of natural supplements most often contain Peppermint Oil to simulate the clitoris. This particular oil can also stimulate the labia to increase sexual pleasure. Menthol is often used to help women increase sensitivity and blood circulation in the genitals, in order to increase orgasm quantity and quality.
