The ID Guide to Sensationally Smoooooooth Sex
(Or “Everything you’ve always wanted to know about lubrication but were afraid to ask!”)
Personal lubricants are the slippery secret of sensational sex.
Why are lubricants good for women?
Lubricants can set the passion wheels in motion. Try water based lube on her breasts, before licking and sucking - or silicone lube which feels beautiful and also acts as a moisturiser! Put a little dab on your finger before stroking her clitoris. Often vaginal lubrication doesn’t find its way there before direct stimulation, so fingers tend to feel rough no matter how soft your hands.
Just because you lubricate naturally don't miss out on the wonders of lube. With lubes that warm, tingle and taste great, introducing lube into your lovemaking opens up a whole variety of sexual experiences and fun.
Why are lubricants good for men?
Gay men were in on the secret a long time ago, but in many heterosexual relationships, lubes are considered a woman’s thing. Wrong.
Men can have great fun applying lube to their lovers or enjoy great sensations applying lube to themselves. Use lube on the penis and scrotum. A neat little trick is to put a drop of silicone lubricant on the head of the penis just before rolling on a condom. This really heightens his enjoyment whilst wearing a condom.
Are lubricants safe with toys?
Yes, in fact many sex toy instruction sheets recommend the use of lubes with their toys. A little lube applied to the toy and to where it is going will make it a far more enjoyable experience. Beyond that, lubes are toys in themselves. They help spur couples to be more sexually playful.
Remember silicone lube should not be used with silicone toys.
Lubricants can be used to help maintain a healthy, happy sex-life.
There are times in a woman’s life; certain days within the menstrual cycle, just after childbirth, during or after the menopause when natural lubrication needs a helping hand and on these occasions lube provides a simple, fun and highly effective way of continuing a healthy sex-life. Stress, tiredness, some over the counter drugs and the pill can also contribute to a dryer than normal vagina. Intercourse at these times (without using lube) can lead to tiny tears in the vagina which are sore and leave it vulnerable to infection. Tiny tears in the anus can be even more of a problem - so unless that is your preference; lubricate, lubricate, lubricate!
In short, lubricants are fun, simple and highly effective in promoting a healthy sex-life.
Aren’t all lubes the same?
No! There are lots of options and the choice you make will depend on what you want from your lube and just how adventurous you want to be. Take a look below to help choose the kind that's right for you. Whichever lube you play with - you're sure to have fun! Why not try them all?
Water based: A great place to start experimenting. These do not stain, are safe for use with latex and all barrier birth control methods. While they can dry out during extended sex, water based lubes are quickly revived with a spritz of water or a little saliva. Because of their versatility and effectiveness, water based lubes are the form of lube recommended most often by experienced couples.
ID Glide - rated number one in numerous lubricant reviews and has a lovely natural feeling, as well as being non-sticky.
Flavoured: Water based lubricants with a twist. Wonderful for oral sex, they can make foreplay great fun and tasty too. Make sure the lubricant you choose does not contain sugar as this can cause yeast infections in women.
The world’s top selling flavoured lubricants are ID Juicy Lubes which come in a variety of delicious flavours. ID Juicy lubes are non-staining and as they contain no sugar, they are almost calorie-free!!
Silicone based: These lubes retain their lubricating properties better and longer than water based lubricants and are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Perfect for massage, they are completely waterproof making them ideal for use in showers and hot tubs. Silicone based lubricants will not harm latex and are perfectly safe for internal use. Just remember not to use silicone lube with silicone toys.
ID Millennium - "The King of Lubricants" is a 100% pure grade silicone lubricant making it ultra, ultra long lasting.
One last tip, whichever lube you choose, unscrew the cap to check the bottle has a security seal underneath. All ID products meet this health standard.
