[Knowledge] How to choose a lubricant?

Preface

Many friends are curious about what lubricant to choose? When should lubricants be used? So this article will give you a detailed introduction to lubricants.

When do you need a lubricant?

The role of lubricant is to reduce friction, if the friction is excessive, it will produce discomfort and pain, and even cause skin and mucous membrane damage, skin and mucous membrane damage will increase the risk of infection.

For those who like to masturbate, the frequency of masturbators is very fast, and the private parts are very fragile and sensitive, so in the case of no lubrication, start masturbating, it is easy to feel the pain uncomfortable, but the game friends like the feeling of pain, so you can according to their own preferences to choose whether or not to use lubricants.

Lack of lubrication will lead to the masturbator can not enter the body, or enter the body to feel pain uncomfortable, and everyone in the choice of lubricant, it is inevitable that you will encounter different types of lubricants.

Classification of lubricants

According to the traditional classification, lubricants are divided into water-based, oil-based and silicone-based lubricants.

The main body of a water-based lubricant is water, the main body of an oil-based lubricant is organic matter (such as petroleum jelly), and the main body of a silicone-based lubricant is silicone (also called silicone oil).

Now oil-based lubricants sold very little, and it dissolves the condom, greasy feeling is not easy to clean clean, so do not talk about oil-based, mainly with you about water-based and silicone-based.

Water-based lubricants

If your masturbator is made of silicone, then you can only buy water-based lubricants, because silicone-based lubricants will dissolve your masturbator, which in turn will shorten the life of use.

There are two types of water-based lubricants sold on the market today:

Ordinary water-based lubricants

Most of them have hyaluronic acid (aka hyaluronic acid) added, so you can use hyaluronic acid as a marker to differentiate between water-based lubricants and silicone-based lubricants.

Anything with the 4 words hyaluronic acid in it (or the 3 words hyaluronic acid) is a water-based lubricant, and silicone-based lubricants neither dissolve hyaluronic acid nor require hyaluronic acid for additional moisturization.

But water-based lubricants are particularly easy to evaporate, water-based lubricants from extrusion wipe open to completely evaporate, the time is about ten minutes to twenty minutes ranging, which also represents, you if you have sex for a long time, you may need to replenish the lubricant halfway.

Sperm-mimicking water-based lubricant

It looks white, sticky, and thick like male semen fluid, hence the name sperm-mimicking lubricant.

Whether it's a regular water-based lubricant or a sperm-imitating lubricant, you don't need to wash your vagina afterward; you can just wash your vulva after sex, and you don't need to wash any lubricant residue from your vagina.

Silicone-based lubricants

Silicone based lubricants can dissolve silicone masturbators, if your masturbator is made of glass or metal.

Silicone based lubricant is something that needs to be cleaned afterward and it's harder to clean, and if the lubricant drips onto the sheets, since it's silicone, it's hard to clean traces of it from the sheets.

See here you may be more curious, since the silicone-based lubricant can not be used for silicone masturbators, after the cleaning is very troublesome, then why it is not like the oil-based lubricant as the market out?

The answer is simple, because its lubrication effect is very good.

And there is a class of people happen to be very much in need of particularly good lubrication, water-based lubricants have not been able to meet the needs of this kind of people, part of this kind of people is like anal sex.

Because the rectum does not secrete as much lubricant as the vagina, and the rectal lining is more likely to be damaged by friction than the vaginal lining, the lubrication requirements will be higher.

Lubricants on condoms

Generally, the lubricant on condoms is water-based, not much, but it will be there.

There are also some friends who think that there is already lubricant on the condom during sex, so they don't need to use additional lubricant.

On this point, I would like to say that if the woman does not produce enough lubricant on her own, then the amount of lubricant on the condom will most likely not be enough.

Amount of lubricant

Those who have never used lubricant before will be curious about how much lubricant to use at one time.

The answer to this definitely varies from person to person, and I can give you a reference:

• You can start with the size of a soybean and use it, if the girl is masturbating outside the body, it is basically enough.
• If it's for sex, do you see if it goes smoothly when you enter the body? Is there any pain? If it is not smooth or there is pain, then increase the dosage, don't feel bad about the lubricant.
• If it is anal sex, don't use the soybean size, it is recommended to apply all over the masturbator and then masturbate.

Lubricant Usage

Lubricant can be smeared on the penis or applied directly to the contact surface of the masturbator.

Because the requirement of lubrication for sex is still relatively high, and some of my friends feel that they/their female partners are very much out of water, so they won't use lubricant.

But as far as I know, a lot of girls who produce a lot of water still use lubricant, and without it, a lot of unexpected and unnecessary pain can easily occur.

All in all, don't overestimate your body's ability to produce fluids or underestimate your body's need for lubrication.

Purchasing Suggestions

Small dosage

If you are buying a lubricant for the first time that you have never used before. I would recommend starting with a small dose and not buying a mega bottle right off the bat.

On the one hand, it is because there is a possibility that this lubricant is not to your liking or satisfaction physically, and on the other hand, it is because the amount of lubricant used each time is not much.

For most people, they can only use a little bit of lubricant at a time, and it is very likely that you will not be able to use up the lubricant for years if you buy a 500 ml one.

Allergy Test

Lubricant just bought back, the first thing is not to go directly to use the lubricant masturbation / sex, but first squeeze out a little lubricant, wipe it on the inside of the arm, to see if they will be allergic to, if allergic to it, hurry to clean off the lubricant, the rest of the remaining lubricant you can not use.

Conclusion 

Lubricants are great for everyone who seeks a healthy, comfortable, and safe sex experience that relieves pain from dryness, prevents friction damage, and even enhances the pleasure and intimacy of sex.

We hope this article will help you recognize lubricants, use them properly, and embrace your body's needs and feelings with ease in the future.
