Nursing moms - Zestra, V Cream, or other?

Question

I asked this question last night, but I am hoping for more responses today.

Has anyone ever used any feminine arousal products such as Zestra, V Cream or something else? How well did it work, any side effects, did you find it safe to use while nursing?

I plan on consulting with my midwife on this topic, just wanted to know other women's experiences. Thanks =)

Also, needs to be compatible with condoms...I am not getting pregnant again for a few years if I have any control over it, LOL =D

Answer 1

Because no one else has answered, this might be more helpful than nothing--I nursed both my children.  I have tried one of the KY feminine arousal products once, but I found that the sensation it created was almost unnatural feeling (the "warmth" it created almost burned), and therefore somewhat distracting.  I believe a female's arousal state is 90% mental anyway--if you have a baby young enough to be nursing, you're probably so tired you don't think about s*x a lot yet.  Add to that the fact that I also really believe hormone levels affect this--for example, as I near my menstrual period, my interest in s*x decreases dramatically.  However, I'm sure every woman's experience with this will be different, so good luck to you.    :-D
