What is lubricant?
Lubricant is a product specifically designed to reduce friction during sexual activities, making the experience smoother and more comfortable. It contains ingredients that add moisture, which is especially important when the body itself does not produce enough natural smoothness. The use of lubricant prevents discomfort or irritation that can be caused by dryness or intense movement. This makes it ideal for both solo and partner play, as it not only makes the experience more enjoyable, but also safer by reducing the chances of small cracks or irritations. Moreover, the lubricant promotes pleasure and increases sensitivity, allowing you to enjoy the moment more relaxed.
Who is lubricant for?
Lubricant is suitable for different groups and situations. People who suffer from vaginal dryness, for example due to menopause, stress or medication, can greatly benefit from using lubricant to reduce discomfort and irritation during sex. For couples seeking extra comfort and pleasure, silicone lubricant can provide long-lasting smoothness, while water-based lubricant is safe for use with condoms and sex toys. In anal sex, anal lubricant is essential to ensure smoothness, as natural moisture is lacking there. In addition, some sex toy users always use lubricant to make the experience more pleasurable and safe. People who are sensitive to pain can also benefit from a numbing lubricant for a more relaxing experience.
What types of lubricants are there?
There are different types of lubricants available, each designed for specific needs. Water-based lubricant is the most versatile and suitable for use with condoms and sex toys, as it is non-sticky and easy to wash off. Silicone lubricant stays slippery longer and is perfect for extended sessions or for use in the shower, but is less suitable for silicone toys. For anal stimulation, there is anal lube, often thicker and longer lasting to provide extra comfort. Stimulating lubricants, such as warming or cooling variants, can increase sensitivity for extra sensation. There are also flavoured lubricants, ideal for oral pleasure. Some products combine lubricant with massage lubricant, allowing you to move seamlessly from a relaxing massage to an intimate experience.
How to choose the right lubricant?
When choosing the right lubricant, there are a few important factors to consider. Firstly, compatibility with sex toys is important; for example, choose water-based lubricant if you use silicone toys, as silicone lubricant can damage silicone toys. If you want longer-lasting smoothness, a silicone lubricant may be more suitable. For anal sex, a thicker anal lubricant is ideal, as it provides extra comfort and less friction. Do you prefer natural ingredients? Then choose a mild, odourless lubricant with no additives. For oral use, a flavoured lubricant can bring extra pleasure. Most importantly, choose a lubricant that suits your specific preferences and intended use.
How to use a lubricant?
Using lube is simple, but it can significantly enhance your sexual experience. Follow these steps for a safe and pleasurable experience:
- Choose the right type of lubricant for your activity, such as water-based lubricant for use with sex toys and condoms or anal lubricant for anal stimulation.
- Apply a generous amount of lubricant to the desired spot or to your sex toy. Use more if needed during play to maintain comfort.
- Massage gently to spread the smoothness.
- After use, clean the area with water and mild soap. For toys, use a toy cleaner to ensure hygiene.
Updating the lubricant regularly ensures you enjoy smooth and safe use.
How do you clean lube?
After using lubricant, especially with sex toys or after anal stimulation, it is important to clean thoroughly. For body parts, rinsing with warm water and mild soap is sufficient. For sex toys, especially when using silicone lubricant or anal lubricant, it is recommended to use a special ToyCleaner. These cleaners are designed to effectively remove bacteria without damaging the material of your toys. Remember to rinse the toys well and let them dry completely before storing them to ensure hygiene and longevity.
