Pick Your Poison: Part 1

Lubricant

Lubricant is an essential for any intimate session. Lubricant, or lube, is used during intercourse to reduce friction, help with comfort and ease, and enhance sensation. All of these create a more pleasurable play session. However, there are a few things you should know to help you choose the right lube for you and your partner!

There are several types of lube with the most popular being water-based, silicone, intensifiers and flavored. Water-based lube is a great multi-purpose lubricant. It comes in liquid, gel, and ultra-thick so you can decide the best type for your intended use. You can find it just about anywhere and it works for all adult toys.

Silicone lube is fantastic for anal sex, providing that extra cushion and glide to make things easier and more comfortable. Some lubricants, like the “Swiss Navy Silicone Lube with Clove” comes with clove oil as a natural desensitizer. It should be noted that you can NOT use silicone lube with silicone toys because it will degrade the material. You can however, safely use it with glass and metal toys.

Intensifying and flavored lubricants can add a different and fun aspect to sexual encounters. Flavored lube is fantastic with oral sex, and it’s safer than using actual food items (like chocolate syrup because it can create bacterial infections). We like the “After Dark water-based lubricant in Chocolate”. Intensifiers can add a warming or cooling sensation, making the intimate parts of the body more sensitive to touch and friction. Our go-to pick is the “Sensuva ON-Insane line”, and the “Sliquid Organics Sensation”
