There is a lingering stigma that sometimes comes along with lube use – the idea that using it means you are physically or emotionally out of your current situation. Let's break this stigma. By using lube in bed, you actually take control of your pleasure and allow yourself to have an even more explosive time in bed. Personal lubricant can be used to help create more pleasurable experiences, whether it's sex, masturbation, playing with sex toys, or a combination!
There are also multiple options to choose from: jelly, silicone, hybrid and on water base! But more on that later. Simply put, a lubricant's only job is to make things better.
Lubricant helps you feel better and more comfortable when you use it in combination with a condom.
The condoms are incredibly important for use in sexual activities such as anal sex, vaginal penetration, and oral sex. They prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and can help prevent unwanted pregnancy. Many condoms now have a small amount of lubricant to facilitate this process, but not all condoms have lubrication on them. With friction, it can sometimes happen that the condom dries out, and this brings with it a series of inconveniences.
We recommend water based lubricant, so as not to compromise the integrity of the latex from which most condoms are made. If you wear a condom: apply a small amount of lubricant to yourself and slowly insert the condom. Then, after you put the condom on, apply some more to prevent tearing while putting it on! Your partner can also help you with this step. The more lubricant, the better!
Not sure what type of lubricant you should be using? Here are some tips for you…
Lubricant can be used by everyone, for everything
There is no such thing as a "typical" lube user. The lubricant can and is used by everyone, regardless of gender, age and sexuality, and it can also be used during masturbation. Simply apply it to any part of your body that needs some type of lubrication or use it with a sex toy. Lube can be water, oil, or silicone based, so just make sure you use one that's right for you, your partner, and any sex toys you own and use.
It makes masturbating better
When you want to get "in touch" with yourself, the first thing you should do is apply some lubrication. It can instantly change the sensations when you start! If you enjoy manual stimulation, we recommend silicone lube because it's long-lasting and doesn't wash off as easily! It requires less lubrication and is especially great for masturbation in the shower.
Please take note that : Make sure NOT to use a silicone-based lubricant with silicone-based sex toys, as they can break down the toy's rubber over time. If you want to enjoy some vibrations from your favorite toy, use a water-based or hybrid lubricant!
Lubricant makes anal sex feel better (and safer)
Anal sex is a favorite way of play for many, but it's important to know how to enjoy it. Hybrid or thick water-based lubrication are great to use. Because unlike the vagina and penis, the anal cavity is not lubricated, lubricant not only makes it safer, but can also enhance your orgasm! So feel free to apply lube during foreplay for a relaxing effect, during anal intercourse itself, or while using anal sex toys for a more pleasurable experience all around.
Lubricant helps with dryness
Even though it's on, sometimes your body needs a little time to connect with your mind. Vaginas have natural lubrication when they are aroused, but sometimes you need a little more support. This is completely normal! That's why foreplay is such an important element of sex, because it gives your body enough time to connect with your mind. Also, some women just don't get the lubrication they would like – factors such as menopause, medication or menstrual cycle can all play a role.
Lubricant helps spice things up
Introducing lube into your routine is a great way to feel more inventive and adventurous. The very act of applying lubricant to yourself or your partner is erotic – this experience can lead to incredible foreplay and help the act last longer!
To summarize: Lubricants are not only useful and efficient, they also contribute to the intensity of your pleasure. Win – Win situation right? 🙂
