Your Body: Why Lubricant Quality Matters
When it comes to personal lubricants, quality is first on our list. Using a high-quality lubricant can significantly enhance your intimate experiences. Some of the poor-quality products can feel be slippery, but they have numerous downsides. In this article, we’ll explore why lubricant quality matters and how to choose the best product for your needs.
Safety Firstly
Quality lubricants are designed by brands that prioritise your comfort and safety. There are many lubricant brands out there that simply produce a lubricant that feels slippery, before prioritising proper testing. In these times where it's easier than ever to produce a low-quality product, it's never been more important to be more mindful of what you're choosing to put in, on and around your body! These cheap lubes often include chemicals and/or allergens that can cause discomfort, skin irritation or adverse reactions.
That's why our celebrated lubricant brands use good, tested, body-safe ingredients. They're as body-safe as you're going to get. (Some bodies, especially women, are sensitive and for that, the better brands often have ranges of personal lubricants that are especially designed for sensitive skin.)
Longevity and Performance
High-quality lubricants offer superior performance and longevity. They maintain their silkiness and slickness for longer periods, reducing the need for frequent reapplication. (This also means that you use much less lubricant.) This is especially important during extended intimate sessions. Silicone-based lubricants, for example, are known for their long-lasting glide, making them a popular choice for many users.
Compatibility and Versatility
Quality lubricants are more versatile and compatible, with a wider range for your specific needs. Most cheap brands simply create lubricant. Better brands offer wider ranges that are designed with different intimate needs in mind. Whether you prefer water-based, silicone-based, or oil-based lubricants, or even lubes for sensitive skin, the better brands have taken care to create lubricants for your needs. Some brands even have Vegan lubricants. This versatility makes it easier to find a lubricant that suits your specific needs and preferences.
Health and Well-being
Using a high-quality lubricant is essential for maintaining your health and well-being. Inferior products can disrupt the natural balance of your intimate areas, leading to infections or other health issues. This is especially true when it comes to choosing lubricants for women. Quality lubricants are better tested, and offer ranges that are pH-balanced and formulated to work in harmony with your body, promoting a healthy and enjoyable intimate experience.
Our Take
Investing in a high-quality lubricant is an investment in your comfort, safety, and overall well-being. Our advice is simple: Don’t settle for less when it comes to something so important. Choose a lubricant that meets your needs and your budget and enhances your intimate moments.
Bonus Benefit
Cheap lubes also get sticky, meaning that you use far more. The result is that quality lube lasts much longer, and therefore often cheaper in the long run. Plus, the quality lube feels a whole lot better. That’s another wonderful benefit of using quality lube. You'll thank us... ;)
