Lubricant
Much like the exam gloves, when it comes to disability or medical procedures, that oozing, flatulent, sound made by a tube of lubricant being squeezed is seldom accompanied by something free of discomfort. Be its purpose to assist in the insertion of a type of catheter that is not pre-lubricated, or to be applied to a digit or a suppository or enema to aid with the bowel care process, it is not being used for something readily enjoyable. Given, the results of the process does provide relief and another period of health.
That health often comes at a long-term cost. This is not a site that will explain personal medical procedures but, simply put, inserting something in an out orifice often comes with damage in the long term. All the more reason that good quality, and adequate amount of, water-based lubricant is used to minimize harm caused to those areas, now and over the numerous repetitions into the future.
