I don't have access to special the tools like crank arm remover, or whatever else could be needed. I only have generic wrenches, screwdrivers and hexdrivers. So the worst case is that your BB needs replacing, and that the crank arm is damaged enough to need replacing too. Summary: Your spindle/crank interface is damaged, so the crank has been forced onto the spindle and is now at a high state of torque. Its confirmed that the spindle is damaged and likely that the crank arm is now damaged as a result. And the rest of the bike is OK. It’s completely up to you. We’ve designed our slippery lube to create natural wetness. One pump might be enough, but if you want to do more then go for it! If it feels good you’re doing it right. Vaginal dryness is caused by a loss of oestrogen on the tissues of the vagina. Externally, effects can be felt in the vulva also," Dr Spencer explains. "The loss of oestrogen results in the tissue becoming drier, thinner and more delicate. You become more prone to infection as a result – and also because the normal balance of vaginal bacteria can become upset."

It is also incredibly difficult to access reliable information for braille,” he says. “We worked with the RNIB as well as with a braille translator but it’s hard to proofread and the risk for error becomes incredibly high throughout the supply chain.” Inclusive Design

Vaginal lubricants can be helpful during sexual activity. They are applied to your body as and when needed to reduce friction, therefore helping to reduce pain and discomfort," says Dr Spencer. "You can apply them to your partner or a sex toy too – some find applying an oil based and water based lubricant can be helpful – giving a double layer. Just be careful with condoms – oil based lubricants make them less effective." Many women find that they only feel dryness and discomfort during sex, while others experience it daily. In addition, the usual elasticity of the vagina and vulva can be lost, which can lead to painful sex," Dr Spencer add. Yes - this is actually something we’d recommend. Adding lube into your vibe time can heighten your sensation - making it even more pleasurable. replace the whole crankset. I'm pretty sure I can get a few more hundred miles out of it and replace it later. Plus, it costs as much as a new (used) bicycle - more than this whole one, - plus the time and tools to install. Note that your left and right crank don't need to match, they just need the same fittings and same overall length.

A bit of history: the grooves on the spindle are partially destroyed/skewed by cycling with a loose crank, so I applied a lot of force to a hexdriver to get the crank arm on. Now, it would be quite hard, if possible, to disassemble it. I got the bicycle on a garage sale for a price of two cups of coffee.We'd definitely recommend using lube with your vibrator. Adding lube into your vibe time can heighten your sensation, making it even more pleasurable. Our microbiome prebiotic helps to support that vaginal microbiome to keep the vagina healthy after sex.

As for getting the current one off - leverage will help. If the bolt shears then the stub will be in the BB spindle/axle which is trash anyway, and the new one will come with replacement bolts. No two areas are the same especially when it comes to sex. The pH of the vagina, its natural lubricity and skin are very different to that of the anus. By using the right lube you protect yourself against unwanted UTIs and unnecessary discomfort.

take it to a bicycle shop. I live in a very expensive area; it will probably cost me more than buying a new bicycle. invest time and money -- buy proper tools and disassemble it. I recognize this is probably the right answer; but it's just a creak of a bicycle that costs me two cups of coffee.If you’re experiencing vaginal dryness during menopause, speak with your doctor for advice.

Water-based lubricant I tried leaving the bike laying on a side and pouring WD-40 on the side of crankset. It helped for some time, because it's fluid enough, but WD-40 is not a proper grease; it needs to be reapplied once in few days, and then it makes it worse because it also acted as a solvent for the original grease. Maybe there's a grease I can heat up to about 80°C to make it fluid enough to get into the crankset and curdle inside?

What causes vaginal dryness during menopause?" We hear a lot about tokenistic inclusivity,” said Roam co-founder and chief creative officer Alex Griffiths. “It felt disingenuous to say that we want to provide a choice to customers and make them feel visible while ignoring people who are often forgotten.” The vagina microbiome is a micro-ecosystem that fluctuates during a woman's life and menstrual cycle. Here’s a few tips we’d want you to know if you’re about to have anal for the first time. Firstly - take things slow. The first time you insert, it may feel a bit uncomfortable. Use plenty of lube, and insert slowly and gently. Then, when pulling out and re-inserting be careful. Make sure that you only take a little more each time, and that you only do things that feel comfortable. For this process, we’d suggest using lube generously to reduce the friction. You’ll get to a point where you’re adequately stretched, and it will feel easier.
