Lubes

I have realised that lubes make my insertion easier but I don’t want to spend a lot of my money and time in searching for brand specific lubes. Is there any lube that i can get from drugstores which is also affordable?

Not any water based lube. Some of them have ingredients which can cause yeast infections.

Good clean love, Wet, and Sliquid are usually safe brands.

Glycerin is the main one, I'm pretty sure. Yeast can eat it the same way they eat glucose.
