Abstract
First paragraph: Few studies have been published by midwives regarding the lotions and lubricants used in vaginal examination and procedures in labour and in the immediate postnatal period. In this article I review published research and present the findings of my own research conducted in 1993. Although seven years ago it describes a range of practices which are as relevant today as they were then.
