One of the best kept secrets of the sex industry is lubricant. This slippery substance can really improve your wellness in the bedroom in terms of your enjoyment and confidence, which can be a great boost to your sexual health and wellbeing.
Whether you are using a sex toy on your own or having full intercourse with a partner, lubricant can make a really positive difference to the sensual experience.
Most lubricants are made with a water, petroleum or silicone base but the exact formulas can vary. When you are looking to choose a lubricant, you should look for something that is light and clean and that isn’t too oily or sticky. Also, if you are using a sex toy that is made from silicone, then don’t use a lubricant that has a silicone base. It’s also very important that when you use condoms, you steer clear of anything oily and stick to a lubricant with a water base, as some lubricants can weaken the structure of condoms and lead to them breaking. Steer clear of anything that isn’t a proper lubricant, like Vaseline and baby oil.
A water-based lubricant can also be easier to clean up afterwards, as all you have to do is rinse off any toys used with warm water, whereas silicone-based lube is harder to wash off (but this can make it a great choice for using if you plan to have sex in water.
Lubricants are a fantastic way of enhancing your sexual experience, because they make sex more sensual and more comfortable. In addition to this, there are many lubricants on the market which bring additional benefits, such as those that make the area tingling or warm, and there is even one called Utopia which contains and amino acid known as L’argine, which can promote blood flow and increase sensitivity.
