How I Turned Sex From A To-Do List To A “Let's Do It!”

I’m 36 and have been married for 9 years with 3 kids with the last one arriving a year ago. After the birth of our third child, my body went through a series of changes that had an immense effect on our sex life as a couple. Pregnancy changes you in amazing and complicated ways, and giving birth is a journey. I know I am older, but it really felt that this pregnancy took more out of me physically and mentally than I could have imagined. I knew that feeling like myself again would take awhile. One of the major things that occurred and impacted me was the vaginal dryness I experienced.

During the early stages of pregnancy, I found out that I was increasingly dry down there, and it made sex very unpleasant and many times, outright painful. I did my research, asked my gyno about it and he told me that painful intercourse was not uncommon during pregnancy. He suggested that we could try changing sex positions or using a lubricant. He assured me that things would go back to normal soon after I delivered. I had our last child in April last year, and nearly 6 months later, I was still experiencing dryness. In fact, it got worse so I found myself back in the doctor’s office and he suggested “generous use of lubricants” and to keep him posted ‘on the results.’

After being pregnant for months and undergoing a lot of physical changes, including pregnancy weight which I lost very slowly, I began to crave feeling sensual again. Like the beautiful 36-year-old woman in her prime that I was. So, the search for the perfect lube began. It was during an online Google search that I found a product review on the Pulse Warming Device. It was the elegant, nifty design that instantly caught my eye. Really, it looked like an Apple product. I had never tried warm lube except for what came out of a tube of K-Y which turned out to have irritating chemicals in it. Oh, that and it was quite cold.

I ordered the Pulse lube warmer (warms lubricants NOT just another “warming lubricant”) plus a pod pack of their silicone-based lube, Aloe-Ahh, on an impulse purchase. Boy, am I glad I did! Now, I feel like myself again - a sexual person as soon as my husband made contact with my vagina with the warm lube, I couldn't help but moan. Lube that is warmed…’where have you been all my life?’ (If you've never tried it, then get some of this right now — you're missing out!)

It’s like this: the lube heated me, but it wasn't like the tingling and irritation of a warming lube. It was physical, golden heat like being swaddled in a warm heated blanket in bed and feeling like you could stay there for the rest of your life. It was the difference between a cold shower and a warm, luxurious soak. Warm and soothing, from the inside out. I put some on my hands and it was so easy to get a handful automatically dispensed without fumbling with a bottle. I was hot and every touch felt enhanced, it was exhilarating. I felt like I turned from an overwhelmed mom into a sexual goddess. Afterwards, we fell asleep in each other's arms in post intimacy bliss. Maybe it was because of the warmth, maybe we had spent our energy, but I don’t really care about the reason. It was the best time I’ve had in a very long time!

You must also know Aloe-Ahh (Pulse’s silicone-based lubricant) is smooth and a little went a long way. It was amazing! It didn’t get gummy, didn't leave nasty stains behind on the sheets, and it left my body feeling moisturized. If you suffer from dryness, I suggest getting the Aloe-Ahh lube; it contains natural Aloe-Vera and other yummy ingredients. At least that’s what happened to me and I vow to never run out of my new favorite lubricant. It arrives every month in the mail like clockwork. My husband really enjoyed it too, but what he enjoyed the most was how much I enjoyed it. It has inspired us to find several new ways to experiment with our sexy time. If you want to enhance your sexual wellness and enjoyment, then look no further than Pulse!
