My friend is wondering if it's okay to use lubricants while not using a condom. Are there certain types of lubricants that are safe to use without a condom?

Yes, lubricants can be used without a condom. However, it's important to choose water-based or silicone-based lubricants, as they are safe for direct skin contact and won't cause irritation. Always ensure the lubricant is compatible with your needs, especially for sensitive areas.

I'm really concerned about my wife. She started having sudden shivering at night, and it's the third day of her monthly period. There's no fever, so I gave her hot milk and a 650 mg dose of paracetamol. I'm trying to understand what might be causing this. Could it be related to her period, or is there something else going on?

Shivering may be caused due to hormonal imbalance or dehydration and muscle cramps. It is advisable to get a blood test done for safety, but there should be no major cause for concern.
