Why lube will change your sex life (even if you don’t experience any dryness)

The big myth about lube: no, it’s not medicine!

Many people associate intimate lube with a health problem: menopause, pain or a body that isn’t working as it should (a lack of arousal). But lube isn’t just for intimate dryness. It’s an essential pleasure product for reducing friction, making sex last longer and heightening sensitivity in every erogenous zone.

The human body has natural limits when it comes to repeated friction, whether with a partner or sex toys. Using intimate lube isn’t an admission that something is wrong; it’s a choice to make things gentler and more comfortable.

4 scientific (and very naughty) reasons to make it part of your routine

1 - Zero friction, 100% more sensation

First of all, using lube can heighten pleasure and sensation. Let me explain: a massage feels nice. A massage with massage oil feels much better. That’s simply because the oil helps your hands glide over the body and prevents friction. Lube works in exactly the same way. Think of it as massage oil for your intimate areas. Arousal produces natural lubrication, but that moisture can evaporate or be absorbed over time. Lube provides a lasting glide, so you can focus on pleasure without feeling sore. Once applied, lube reduces friction and makes caresses smoother, heightening pleasure. And we’re all for that!

2 - It awakens your erogenous zones and heightens stimulation

Lube can also help you discover new sensations, particularly with lubes that have special effects. Textured formulas (or quality water-based lubes) create a "cushion" between the skin and your fingers or sex toy. This greatly heightens sensitivity in the clitoris, the head of the penis or the anal area.

Cooling and warming effects… they let you try new things and spice up your intimate moments. Some are even flavoured, making them great for oral play or external caresses.

3 - An essential companion for your sex toys (especially air-pulse stimulators)

You might think intimate lube is only useful with penetrative sex toys: rabbit vibrators, vaginal sex toys or anal sex toys. But using lube with a clitoral stimulation toy could take you to nirvana in record time! Without lube, silicone "drags" against the skin, spoiling the effect of vibrations or air pulses. With lube, it’s all softness, effortless glide and intense pleasure!

4 - It opens the door to new experiences without pain

Lube can also help with a few minor discomforts. Our bodies naturally produce lubrication, but sometimes it isn’t enough. One of the best-known reasons for a drop in natural lubrication is menopause (50% of menopausal people experience vaginal dryness). Certain medications and the contraceptive pill can also reduce natural lubrication. After childbirth, lubrication can decrease too, simply because the pelvic floor is more relaxed and hormone levels drop sharply. All of these things can affect lubrication!

It can also be useful for anal penetration or pegging, as the anus doesn’t lubricate itself naturally. It can make these activities possible and pleasurable when they might otherwise be uncomfortable.

What happens when natural lubrication isn’t enough? You may feel soreness, irritation or even pain during penetration.

How do you bring it into the bedroom without spoiling the mood?

Want to use lube during sex, with a partner (or more than one), but don’t know how to bring it up? Don’t worry: lots of people have the same concern. How do you reach for the tube without breaking the mood?

Here’s our best advice: make it part of the foreplay with caresses, massages or games together. Using lube playfully won’t break the mood – quite the opposite!

In short: switch to "Premium Glide" mode

So, to sum up, what’s lube for?

It heightens pleasure, lets you discover new sensations and helps with the little difficulties that can arise when natural lubrication drops a bit.

In short, for your intimate wellbeing and to keep sex pleasurable, it's worth keeping a tube of lube in your bedside table!
