Saundarya Srinivasan - Jul 24, 2024

Using lube is essential for a satisfying and comfortable intimate experience. Here’s how to use lube so you can always ride the pleasure wave!

We need to talk—about using lube. Wetter is better. But more often than not, we tend to skimp on it or end up skipping it altogether! (Cue horrifying flashbacks of every time you were left high and dry.) Well, we’re here armed with everything you need to know about how to use lube (so you never have to suffer another dry day :P)

Why Does Using Lube Even Matter?

Simply put, lube is important for your solo and partnered sessions because it reduces friction, minimises discomfort, and can seriously level up your pleasure! Ensuring there's enough lubrication is the key to making things enjoyable. Whether you’re using it for foreplay or for going further, it makes the journey smoother.

Here’s how to use lube so all your self-care and love sessions are amped up:

Pick Your Partner

Picking the best lubricant gel & oils is paramount—the wrong move could the wrong one could turn your intimate rendezvous into a slippery (and not in a good way) situation. But, let's get one thing straight: not all lubes are created equal. It's like picking a character in a video game; you want the one that suits your style.

Water-based lubricants like Glide Water are versatile and safe to use with all kinds of toys and condoms. Silicone-based lubes like Glide Silicone are like the superheroes of slip and slide—perfect for prolonged action without drying out. And then there's the oil-based variety, like Slick which can be fantastic, but they don't play well with latex condoms.

Less Is Not More

In the world of lube, less is definitely not more. Remember, it's about enhancing the experience. So, don't be stingy with that slippery stuff. Start with a few drops and add more as you go. Think of it like making a pasta sauce—slowly adding more spices to reach that perfect flavour. In this case, the flavour is, well, pleasure.

Get Creative with Foreplay

If you've always seen lube as the last-minute backup plan, it's time to reconsider. Incorporate it into your foreplay routine. A sensual massage with a lube that doubles as a massage oil (like Slick) can be a great way to kick things off.

Use It With Your Favourite Massagers

We know how much you love your vibrating massagers when you’re ‘stressed out’. Now imagine throwing lube into the mix—it’ll send you into waves of pleasure! Whether you’re using something for both internal and external action like Groove wand massager for women, or something more mellow like Mini bullet massager (it’s truly the best mini massager for women), just squirt a little lube on and get exploring. We promise you - it’ll blow your mind.

Pro-Tip: When you're all set to use lube with a partner, ensure that you're both on the same page on how to use lube. Communication is key! Ask if they have any preferences or allergies. And if you're using toys, make sure you only pick a water-based one!

In conclusion, lube is like that trusty sidekick in your favourite action movie. It's there to help you glide through the action, making everything smoother, more enjoyable, and way less chafey. So next time you're gearing up for some fun, don't forget to grab your lube—your intimate companion for slippery adventures.
