Intimate lubricants: everything you need to know to choose and use well<\/h1>\n
\"Intimate<\/figure>\n
\n

The lubricant is not reserved for people who have a drought problem. It can simply make stimulation more comfortable, reduce friction and improve the use of a sex toy. It can be useful in couples as in solo, regardless of age.<\/p>\n

The most important thing is to choose a formula adapted to the intended use and the materials with which it will be in contact.<\/p>\n

What are the main types of lubricants?<\/h2>\n

There are generally three main families: water, silicone and oil-based lubricants.<\/p>\n

Water-based lubricants<\/h3>\n

They are versatile, easy to rinse and compatible with the vast majority of sex toys and condoms. This is usually the simplest choice when you don't know exactly the material of the toy.<\/p>\n

They can, however, dry faster than other formulas. Then just put a small amount during the session. Some become slippery again with a few drops of water.<\/p>\n

\"Water-based<\/figure>\n

Silicone-based lubricants<\/h3>\n

They usually stay slippery longer and are more water resistant. They can be interesting for a long session or in the shower.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, they are not always suitable for silicone sex toys: depending on the formulation and the material, prolonged contact can alter the surface. So check the manufacturer's recommendation or test on a small area that is not very visible when compatibility is not clearly indicated.<\/p>\n

Oil-based lubricants<\/h3>\n

Oils can offer a lasting glide, but they are not suitable for all uses. Oily products can notably weaken latex condoms. They are also more difficult to clean on certain textiles and sex toys.<\/p>\n

For a first purchase intended for several uses, a water-based lubricant often remains the most practical solution.<\/p>\n

\"Oil-based<\/figure>\n

Are perfumes, heating effects or cooling effects useful?<\/h2>\n

Fragrant, flavored, heated, or refreshing formulas can add a different feel, but they contain more ingredients that can irritate sensitive people.<\/p>\n

If you are prone to irritation, choose a simple formula, without any marked fragrance. For oral use, check that the product is explicitly intended for this use; \u00abEdible\u00bb or \u00abflavored\u00bb must be indicated by the manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Anesthetic or very desensitizing lubricants are not a good solution to withstand painful penetration: pain is a useful signal and masking it can lead to injury.<\/p>\n

How to use a lubricant?<\/h2>\n

There is no exact quantity. Start with a small dose on the area to be stimulated and on the sex toy or penis, then add as soon as the glide decreases.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/figure>\n

Good lubrication should make the movements fluid without causing a burning sensation. During anal penetration, it is particularly important to use enough since the rectum does not produce natural lubrication comparable to that of the vagina.<\/p>\n

With a masturbator, spread a little lubricant at the entrance and in the canal. With an external vibrator, a thin layer is often enough to make movements softer on the vulva or clitoris.<\/p>\n

How do you know if a lubricant is still good?<\/h2>\n

The first reference remains the expiry date and the duration of use after opening indicated on the packaging. The durations are not the same for all formulas.<\/p>\n

Discard the product before this date if you notice:<\/p>\n
