Couples must understand this before climbing into bed

There are four main types of lubricants including water soluble, silicone, petroleum and oily. When purchasing, you should adhere to the principle of "simple ingredients, colorless and odorless, and give priority to water-soluble and silicone resins."

1. Water-soluble lubricant

Water-soluble lubricants are mainly composed of water, so they feel the most natural and are the most convenient to use. It can be used with latex condoms and is not prone to allergies. However, since water-soluble ingredients are easily evaporated by the air and absorbed by the skin, their effect time is relatively short.

2. Silicone lubricant

The main component of silicone lubricant is silicone resin, which has good waterproof properties and is very suitable for various forms of underwater sexual activities. Its action time is longer than that of water-soluble lubricants. It should be noted that this type of lubricant will damage products made of the same material, so it cannot be used with silicone sex toys.

3. Petroleum lubricants

Petroleum lubricants are made primarily from mineral oil or petroleum and are primarily used for male masturbation and anal sex. Since it can dissolve latex, it should never be used with latex condoms, etc.

4. Oily lubricant

These personal lubricants are made from mineral oil, which, unlike water-based ones, does not react with body fluids, so the effects last longer. The lubrication effect is poor. These lubricants are long-lasting and difficult to clean. Often used in medicine. Oil-based lubricants can weaken the effectiveness of condoms, and lubricants attached to the surface of the body can easily increase bacterial infection.

When to use lubricant during sex

1. My husband's private parts are too big

If your husband's private parts are relatively large, you must use plenty of lubricant. Experts recommend using a natural, water-based gel lubricant. This lubricant acts as a buffer, reducing the discomfort caused by friction. Since this type of water-based lubricant is easy to evaporate, it may be necessary to reapply it several times during a longer sexual intercourse.

2. Vaginal dryness

During certain times of the month and as women age, the vagina is more susceptible to dryness and decreased lubrication. Choosing a nourishing water-based lubricant can effectively improve symptoms of vaginal dryness.

3. Both parties work hard to "create a baby"

Using ordinary lubricants is not conducive to normal conception. The reason is that the pH of the lubricant mimics the naturally acidic pH of the vagina, thereby creating a super acidic environment that makes it difficult for sperm to implant. However, there are now some sperm-friendly lubricants that couples can choose when having sex during ovulation.

4. Try new sex methods

If there is no lubricant, do not try too many new sexual moves. When using sex toys, it is best to use a large amount of water-based silicone lubricant to better protect the tissues and prevent accidental injuries during sex.

5. Need to improve the quality of sex

Lubricant makes sex feel better. Choosing water-based silicone lubricants is more durable and has better lubrication effects than pure water-based lubricants. This lubricant is also extremely good at moisturizing the skin.

Specific steps for using lubricants in couples' sexual life

The method of application depends on personal preference and physical condition. The most common method is to apply it on a condom, followed by applying it on the female vulva, and some women prefer to apply it directly inside the vagina. Generally, water-soluble lubricants are less likely to cause allergies and can be used with confidence.

1. Unscrew the cap, squeeze out about 1 to 2 grams on your fingers, and then apply it to vagina to fully lubricate it. The same method can be applied to medical devices, sexual instruments or condoms. Close the bottle cap after use and use it when needed.

2. Use a small amount of lubricant or lubricant at the beginning. If you will use it on the anus, please use a special lubricant for the anus. Normal vaginal lubrication requires a water-soluble lubricant. When using it, first squeeze the lubricant to the upper part and root of the yj, then use your hands to stroke the area where the lubricant is spread to make it easy to penetrate and evenly spread until it is completely covered and the appearance of the entire genitals is smooth.

3. If you think that the lubricant squeezed out at the beginning is not enough or does not feel so effective, you can apply it a second time as needed. In fact, you can also put the bottle next to the pillow and continue to apply it to the outer vagina without interrupting the rhythm during intercourse or apply it to the organ when pulling out.
