When we are sexually excited, we naturally produce lubrication. The primary use of any lube is to minimize the friction between the vagina and the penis. We engage in a variety of sexual activities, and our natural lubrication can’t always keep up with the length of our sessions. So, lubrication is an excellent addition to solo or handyman as well as coupled sex, and everyone knows that wetter is better!
Lube from Cirilla’s adult toy store comes in a variety of colors, flavors and types, just like rainbows. Water, silicone, and oil-based lubes all have their own set of advantages. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when searching for lube:
Water Based Lube
Condom-friendly water-based lubes are fantastic! They can be found in practically any store like Cirilla’s and can closely imitate your own lubrication. Flavored lubes, which are mainly water-based, are excellent for oral sex, though we recommend that you sample them beforehand. Small sample packs of lube, both flavored and normal are usually available in Cirilla stores. Consider it like bunch of candy: buy a handful and find what you like! Also, avoid using flavored lubricants in the vaginal sex as it can lead to yeast infection. Yeast likes sugar, which is exactly what you’re feeding it in your vagina. If internal play is your thing, switch to water-based lube.
Oil Based Lube
Oil-based lubes are superior to water-based lubes in that they can stay wetter for considerably longer. The disadvantage is that using oil-based lubes with latex condoms might rupture and break the condom, which is not good. We recommend using water or silicone-based lubes for sex sessions and leaving the oil for massages.
Silicone Based Lube
Because silicone lubricant does not dry out as rapidly as water-based lubricant, it is ideal for extended play and anal, but the taste can be unpleasant, and cleanup can be time-consuming. Although it is latex-friendly, it should not be used with a silicone sex toy. Your toy will become sticky if you combine the two, and no one enjoys a sticky dildo.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re doing it solo or with a partner, be sure you’re properly lubed up. For better feeling, put a few drops inside the condom before putting it on your lover, or try some warming lubricant to keep things hot. Stop and add some extra lubrication to the party if you’re feeling a touch dry. The options are limitless.
