Why use lube?

The great lube myth: no, it's not a medication!

Many people associate intimate lube with a health issue: the menopause, pain, or a bodily dysfunction (lack of arousal). But no, lube is not just for intimate dryness. It's an essential pleasure cosmetic for reducing friction, prolonging intercourse, and heightening the sensitivity of all erogenous zones.

Because the human body has its natural limits when it comes to repeated friction, whether with a partner or sex toys. Using an intimate lube is not the admission of a problem — it's the choice of superior softness and comfort.

4 scientific (and very naughty) reasons to use it every day

1 - Zero friction, 100% more sensation

Using lube first and foremost amplifies pleasure and sensations. Let me explain: when you give a massage, it's nice. When you give a massage with massage oil, it's immediately so much better. Simply because the oil allows your hands to glide over the body and avoids all friction. Lube is exactly the same. It's essentially the massage oil for intimate areas. Because natural arousal lubricates, but the fluid evaporates or is absorbed over time. Lube provides a constant glide that lets you focus solely on pleasure without feeling any chafing. Once applied, lube prevents friction and smooths caresses, thereby amplifying pleasure. And to that, we say yes!

2 - It awakens and over-stimulates your erogenous zones

Lube also helps you discover new sensations, particularly thanks to effect lubes. Textured formulas (or quality water-based lubes) create a "cushion" effect between the skin and fingers or sex toy. This heightens the sensitivity of the clitoris, the glans, or the anal areas.

Cold, warm effects… They let you try new things and spice up your intimate moments. Some are even flavoured, which is great for oral play or external caresses.

3 - The essential companion for your sex toys (especially wave stimulators)

You might think that using an intimate lube would only be useful with penetrative sex toys: rabbit, vaginal sex toy or anal. However, using lube with a clitoral stimulation sex toy can take you to Nirvana in record time! Because without lube, silicone "catches" on the skin, which ruins the effect of vibrations or air pulses. With lube, everything is pure softness, glide, and (intense) pleasure!

4 - It opens the door to new practices without pain

Lube also helps to ease a few minor discomforts. Our bodies naturally produce lubrication. Except that from time to time, it isn't sufficient. The most well-known reason for a drop in natural lubrication is the menopause (50% of menopausal people suffer from vaginal dryness). Certain medications or the contraceptive pill can also reduce natural lubrication. After childbirth too, lubrication decreases, simply because the perineum is relaxed and there is a significant hormonal drop. All of these factors affect lubrication!

It can also be useful for anal penetration or pegging, as the anus is not naturally lubricated. It makes these practices possible and enjoyable, whereas they would be uncomfortable otherwise.

When natural lubrication isn't sufficient, what happens? Well, you can experience chafing, irritation, and sometimes even pain during penetration.

How to introduce it in the bedroom without killing the mood?

You want to use lube during sex, as a couple (or more) but don't know how to bring it up? No stress, it's a common worry for most people: how do you bring out the tube without killing the mood?

Here are our best tips: turn this moment into a full sensual foreplay session with caresses, massages, or partner play. Using lube in a playful way won't kill the mood — quite the opposite!

In short: switch to "Premium Glide" mode

To sum it up, what is lube actually for?

It amplifies pleasure, lets you discover new sensations, and makes up for all the little issues that can arise when natural lubrication decreases slightly.

In short, for your intimate essentials and to keep sex always enjoyable, it's great to have a tube of lube in your bedside drawer!
