Using lubricants with your personal devices can really heat up your intimate experiences by making things smoother and more comfortable. This article explains why they are a game-changer when using intimate toys, what to consider when picking a lube, and how to keep everything clean and fresh.

Why Use Lubes with Intimate Toys?

Lubricants can take your playtimes to new heights, because they make your experiences feel sexier. They also make everything feel more natural.

Here’s why adding lube is a must:

• Enhanced Comfort. Lubes cut down on friction, so you avoid any discomfort or irritation.
• Increased Pleasure. They make movements smoother and thus, the whole experience more enjoyable.
• Hygiene. Lubes can help prevent the friction that can cause abrasion or micro-tears. You can read more about why using lubricant is more hygienic when using intimate accessories.

Choosing the Right Lubricant

Picking the right lube for your toy is vital for maximum efficiency. Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Material Compatibility. Make sure the lube works with the material of your products. Water-based lubes are safe for all toys, while silicone-based ones should not be used with silicone toys, etc.
• Ingredients. If you have sensitive skin that is susceptible to irritation, there are specific lubes whose ingredients contain fewer potential irritants or allergens. Briefly, if you have sensitive skin, steer clear of glycerin, parabens, and fragrances.
• Purpose. It’s in your best interest to find lubes that fit your needs as closely as possible, choosing from long-lasting ones to those for sensitive skin.

Interesting Variations of Lubes

Yes, there are variations of lubes, which makes life a whole lot more fun!

• Temperature Play. Some lubes have warming or cooling effects, causing extra, crazy sensations.
• Flavoured Lubes. These add a tasty layer to your intimacy but remember to read the ingredients beforehand to ensure they’re safe for both you and your toys.
• Oil-Based. Oil-based lubes have a very different feel from water- and silicone-based ones and are perfect for regular lovemaking and use with glass or metal pleasure products.

Hygiene & Cleaning

Using lubes can make cleaning your toys easier. It also helps prevent micro-tears in your skin tissue, thus reducing any possible bacteria build-up. After you’re done, be sure to also clean your toy/s thoroughly:

• Toy Cleaners. High-quality toy cleaners are the best for keeping your toys fresh and hygienic. This is because they are specially made to clean and disinfect without damaging the material of your personal devices.
• Warm Water & Mild Soap. For a simple clean, warm water and mild soap work well. Just make sure your toy is completely dry before putting it away.

In Other Words

Using lubes with your intimate toys isn’t just about comfort and pleasure; it’s also about keeping things hygienic and safe. Pick the right lubes and clean your toys properly after each use for the best experiences and preservation of your toys.
