For as long as you can remember, sex has been a painful affair. Maybe you deal with vaginal dryness, or your vagina gets swollen after sex. It could be you have been wanting to try anal for a while, but even the prospect of the pain has made you cautious.
When numbing gel just doesn’t cut it anymore…
You’ve tried numbing gel, but they don’t work as promised.
But what’s this about CBD lube?
Wait... CBD in lube?! Tell me more.
Your friends who prefer natural remedies swear by the benefits of CBD. But do those translate into lube form?
Can you use CBD lubricant safely? Let’s find out.
What is CBD Lube?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a type of chemical found in hemp and marijuana plants. If you’ve heard of CBD products, you’re probably aware of some of the benefits, such as:
- Relieving physical pain
- Reducing anxiety and boosting mood
- Fighting inflammation
- Helping with sleep
CBD, when infused with water, oil, or silicone-based lube, carries over the benefits to the personal lube. As such, you can use CBD lube to reduce the pain from penetration, increase arousal, and relax your body.
How Does CBD Work on the Body?
When you apply CBD lubricant, your body absorbs the CBD via the mucous membranes around your throat, nose, mouth, vagina, and rectum. It enters your bloodstream and interacts with the Endocannabinoid system (ECS) which regulates pain, inflammation, sleep, and mood.
When the CBD kicks in and everything melts away…
Once absorbed, CBD lube may:
- Increase blood flow to the genitals, making you feel more aroused
- Reduce pain during penetration and swelling after sex
- Ease anxiety so you feel more present
- Relax your muscles and reduce friction
Unlike numbing gels, CBD relaxes without blocking sensation, reducing risk of injury.
Who Can Use CBD Lube Safely?
Most adults can use CBD lubricant safely unless they are on certain medications or have specific health conditions.
CBD is non-intoxicating, doesn’t increase heart rate, and doesn’t affect breathing. However, sensitivity to ingredients may cause irritation.
1. Always Go for High-Quality Lube
Check reviews, sourcing, and lab testing. Premium brands like Goddess Naturals provide full transparency.
2. Low Chemical Concentration
Avoid lubes with glycerin, parabens, or artificial fragrances if you have sensitive skin.
3. Perform a Patch Test
Apply a small amount to your inner wrist and wait 30 minutes to test for irritation.

Who Should Avoid CBD Lube?
Side effects are rare, but you should avoid CBD lube if:
1. You’re on Medication
CBD may intensify drowsiness, cause diarrhea, or interact with certain medications like metformin or sleep aids.
2. You’re Pregnant or Breastfeeding
Even trace amounts of THC could be passed to your baby, and studies on CBD’s safety in pregnancy are limited.
3. You Have Liver Disease
High doses of CBD could worsen liver function, so avoid unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
