Being in a long term relationship has its pros and cons. While companionship, reliability and support are readily available, the ‘spark’ often fades away after the initial phase. 

But does it mean the spark is gone forever? 

Not really. 

As much as we hate putting effort into a relationship, it’s essential, especially when it comes to your *** life. 

When you know your partner’s kinks and quirks, the *** may become monotonous after a while. This is when you put on your creative hat and shake things up. 

How do you do that? By starting to use more lubricants to your advantage. 

Here’s all that you need to know about using it the right way:

Benefits Of Using A Lubricant

Using lubes has been quite stigmatised. 

The most common notion is that lubes are ‘only’ meant for a woman’s pleasure and need. This is not true. Lubes can do wonders for your *** life and is necessary for better sexual hygiene. Here’s how: 

1.  It Reduces Friction 

No one likes friction during ***. 

Not only is it the opposite of pleasure, but it also increases your chances of passing on or catching an infection.

Lubes can be used by anyone regardless of their gender, age or relationship status. 

In other words, use some lube the next time you masturbate and see how it enhances your pleasure.

4.  Perfect For The ‘Dry Phase’ 

Experiencing dryness during *** is very common for women. However, it doesn’t mean that she’s not into it. 

It’s probably because of some hormonal changes. No matter what the reason is, lube is the only thing that will help you here.

Types Of Lubricants 

Choosing the right type of lubricant is the first and the most important step. There are four major types of lubricants:

1. Water Based: 

Water-based lubes are most popularly used. 

Firstly, they are safer to use for women. Secondly, they do not stain and some of them can be ingested during oral ***. Lastly, they are safe to use with latex condoms.

2. Oil Based 

As the name suggests, oil-based lubes are made using natural vegetable or nut oils. 

They are slightly greasier because of the oils and can also harbour bacteria. They can also break a latex condom and increase the risk of STIs and STDs.

3. Silicone Based 

Silicone lubes, unlike water-based, provide long-lasting lubrication and may not need reapplications. 

This is why it’s the best type of lube to use in the hot tub, swimming pool or shower.

4. Natural Lubes 

Lastly, all-natural lubes like aloe vera gel and coconut oil are also popular. 

However, we do recommend that you take a professional’s advice before using these products as lubricants. 

Just because something’s naturally lubricating doesn’t mean it can be used as a lubricant. 

How To Use A Lubricant 

Using a lubricant during *** is not rocket science. Just squeeze out the required amount into your hands. Then apply it on your genitals or any other area and voila, you’re done.

Avoid applying lube directly from the tube to your genitals because that may transfer germs and bacteria. 

Other than the obvious way of using it, make sure that you aren’t afraid to get out of your comfort zone. You can use lube during foreplay, while using different types of *** toys, during oral and anal ***.

Once you figure out which is the best and the safest lube for you, you can get creative with it. Use it as often, as much and wherever you want. 

What To Avoid? 

Even though this product is mostly safe, there are some precautions that you should practice.

Before buying the product, make sure that you look at the ingredients. 

Some ingredients like glycerine and petroleum should be avoided at all costs. It can affect the pH levels of your skin and make you more susceptible to infections, dryness and itchiness.
