How to Use Lube During Sex

Bringing lube into the bedroom can be a great way to deepen the connection with your partner and add some adventure to your sex life. Using lube during sex can help make both of you feel more comfortable during sex. We’ve created a guide on how to use lube during sex to help create an intimate experience for both of you.

What is Lube?

Lubricants are used to supplement your natural moisture and optimize comfort during those intimate moments with your partner¹. Lube can also supplement a woman’s natural lubrication. A woman’s natural lubrication depends on a multitude of things, including age, hormones, and medication. So, the use of an additional lubricant can help her feel at ease and comfortable throughout the experience.

The Different Kinds of Personal Lubricants

Water-Based Lubricants:

Water-based lubricants are a popular choice for individuals seeking a versatile and reliable option. These lubricants are typically easy to clean and compatible with various types of condoms and sex toys. They also provide a natural and smooth feel, closely resembling the body's lubrication.

Whether for solo play or with a partner, water-based lubricants offer a comfortable and enjoyable experience, enhancing pleasure without leaving behind a sticky residue.

Experience the exceptional benefits of K-Y^® Brand Ultragel Personal Lubricant, featuring a water-based liquid gel formula. Designed to swiftly prepare you for sexual intimacy, this lubricant effectively alleviates the discomfort of vaginal dryness, helping to enhance pleasure during sex for women.

The unique gel formula is neither sticky nor greasy, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Its consistency strikes the perfect balance, neither too thick nor too thin. Enhance the intimacy of your encounters and embrace a natural closeness that allows you to fully enjoy the moment with this water-based lubricant.

Silicone-Based Lubricants:

Silicone-based lubricants are known for their luxurious and long-lasting glide. These lubricants have a silky texture that provides a silky-smooth feel during intimate activities.

They are ideal for prolonged sessions as they do not dry out easily and require minimal reapplication. Silicone-based lubricants also do not dissolve in water, making them perfect for use in the shower or bathtub.

While silicone-based lubricants may not be suitable for use with silicone sex toys, they are a fantastic option for those seeking a durable and ultra-slippery lubrication that lasts throughout their most passionate encounters.

For those seeking a high-quality silicone-based lubricant, K-Y^® True Feel Silicone Based Lube is a standout option. It offers an exceptional lubricating experience during both anal² and vaginal intercourse. This lubricant is compatible with a range of condom materials, including natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane, ensuring a safe and pleasurable experience.

Using Lube During Foreplay

Foreplay could be the perfect time for you to experiment and discover how lube can work for you both. Start with just one or two drops (adding more when necessary) and use your hands to explore each other’s body parts and find out how the lubricants feel on different areas of your body and what you like and dislike.

Everyone is different and therefore everyone enjoys different things. Ensuring you and your partner are both vocal about how you’re feeling and what feels good will help you both work together to improve your intimacy. Communicating and understanding what your partner enjoys will also help deepen that intimate connection between you both and enhance your sexual relationship.

Using Lube During Sex

When it comes to using lube during intercourse, you and your partner should explore different areas to work out what’s best for both of you. As a rule of thumb, you should begin by using a couple of drops, seeing how you go, and then adding more as and when it’s needed.

It’s highly important to make sure your lube is compatible with the condom you’re using. Always read the directions on each type of lube you are using to see if that lube is condom compatible. When using lubes, always be sure to read and follow all other usage instructions.

Explore the sensations the lube gives you in intimate areas and experiment with your sex positions to learn how lube could help increase your pleasure from all angles. Take a read of our 5 sex positions everyone should try if you’re stuck for ideas.
