There’s a quiet pressure many women carry-the sense that something must be “wrong” with their bodies. Maybe it’s low libido, dryness, discomfort, or shame around pleasure. But here’s the truth: most of what we consider “not normal” is actually very normal.
Intimacy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is your wellness journey. From hormones to stress, motherhood to menopause-your body is allowed to shift. So let’s bust some myths, share honest insights, and gently remind you: you are not broken. Your body is communicating. And she deserves care, not shame.
From the Founder
“A part of why we created Liquid Gold was not just to provide a quality option for people but also to remind women that their bodies are not broken-they’re beautifully dynamic, to start peeling back the layers of shame and stigma.
Pleasure, comfort, and confidence aren’t luxuries-they’re the baseline.”
— Nu, Founder of Liquid Gold
The Truth Behind the Silence
- 75% of women will experience pain during sex at some point in their lives
- 1 in 2 menopausal women experience vaginal dryness, but only 1 in 5 seek support
- 68% of women say they’ve felt embarrassed to talk about intimacy-even with a doctor/ health care provider
Let’s change that.
Myth #1: “I should want sex all the time-something’s wrong if I don’t.”
Nope. Libido ebbs and flows. It can be impacted by stress, sleep, medications, age, or even seasonal shifts. Your desire doesn’t define your worth or “functionality.” Instead of forcing arousal, focus on connection-with yourself, with your body, and with your needs.
Try this: Explore what intimacy feels like when there’s no goal. A warm bath, touch without pressure, sensual movement. Let your body speak before your mind interrupts.
Myth #2: “Vaginal dryness only happens after menopause.”
Dryness can hit at any stage of life. It’s common during breastfeeding, stressful life events, or while taking certain medications (like antidepressants or antihistamines) or at certain days in your cycle. It’s not shameful-it’s biology and it’s layered and complex.
Support it naturally:
Rooibos-infused lubes like Liquid Gold are designed to hydrate, soothe, and nourish with botanicals that work-without disrupting your body’s rhythm. Think of it as a tool to aid those moments you just need an extra helping hand.
Myth #3: “If I feel pain or discomfort, I just have to deal with it.”
Pain during intimacy is never something to ignore or normalize. Pelvic tension, hormonal shifts, or lack of lubrication can all contribute-but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it.
Expert Insight:
“Pain isn’t a sign of failure-it’s a signal from your body. Natural lubricants, pelvic therapy, and a safe environment can dramatically change someone’s experience with intimacy.”
— Dr. Liané Vosloo, Women’s Health Physiotherapist
Recommendation: Grab yourself your fav Liquid Gold Lube or Consult your GP, Gynae or Pelvic Floor Therapist.
Myth #4: “I’m the only one who feels this way.”
Oh babe, absolutely not. What you’re feeling is shared-silently-by millions of women around the world. That’s why this conversation matters.
When we normalize intimate care, we open the door to empowerment. And empowerment looks like choosing products that feel as good as they do good. Choosing yourself and knowing you’re not alone on this wellness journey.
