Have you ever had this moment: your mood is set and your body is ready to enter a universe of pleasure, but then you are brought back down to earth by dryness and friction?
That feeling of frustration—wanting to move forward but getting stuck—can really dampen someone’s spirits instantly.
Don’t worry, this isn’t “your problem,” nor is it “sexual frigidity,” but rather insufficient lubrication—and lubricants exist specifically for this situation.
Lubricant isn’t something you have to be ashamed to use; it’s a pleasure enhancer that makes the experience smoother, more comfortable, and longer-lasting. Whether you’re exploring your body alone, interacting with a partner, or using toys like vibrators, suction cups, or dildos, it can make the process more natural, gentle, and enjoyable.
What is lubricant? Why do women use it?
Lubricant is a handy helper to increase lubrication, reduce friction, and enhance the experience. Some people naturally produce less lubrication, some are under stress, and others need assistance with their play or the toy itself.
This isn’t a matter of “ability,” it’s a combination of physical condition and gameplay requirements.
Common situations where lubricant is needed:
- My body is naturally dry.
- When first using sex toys
- Insertable toys (such as vibrators and suction devices)
- To avoid pain and dryness during sexual intercourse with your partner
- Try new techniques like anal plugs and beads (lubrication is absolutely essential for these).
In short:
Lubricant = Smooth + Comfortable + Pleasure-Enhancing
How should women choose lubricant? Analysis of main types.
Lubricant is not something you can just “buy any kind will do”; different types are suitable for different materials, play styles, and body areas.
1. Water-Based Lubricant – Suitable for Beginners

Applicable scenarios:Vibrators / Suction Devices / External Stimulation / Insertable Stimulation / Oral Sex / Partner Play
Advantages: Safe and easy to wash, suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin; compatible with most sex toys and condoms, no side effects, and easy to clean.
Disadvantages: The moisturizing effect is relatively short-lived; you may need to reapply it if you play for too long.

Advantages: Extremely long lubrication time, almost no need for reapplication, won’t wash off when wet, and is safe even during baths or wet play.
Disadvantages: Not suitable for use with silicone toys (will “corrode” the toy surface); requires careful cleaning with shower gel after use; some people are sensitive to silicone oil and should test on a small area first.
Suitable for: Players who enjoy a slow pace, long hours, and “deep experience”.
3. Oil-based lubricants – for special applications
Features: Very long-lasting, but very difficult to clean.
Applicable scenarios: Very few special occasions, such as underwater play, and situations requiring extremely high lubrication.
Advantages: Extremely long lubrication time, exceptionally smooth, suitable for very special play styles.
Disadvantages: It is insoluble in water, difficult to clean, and easily clogs pores, making it unsuitable for daily use; it cannot be used with latex condoms or silicone toys, as this will cause them to break.
Suitable for: A very small number of advanced players, for specific gameplay styles.
Usage recommendations: Not recommended for beginners or daily use. It is difficult to clean, can easily cause infection, and can damage toys.
Lubricant Selection and Usage Guide
1. How to choose? Just remember these points:
Choose products with safe ingredients: Always check the ingredient list when purchasing, and avoid those containing fragrances, colorings, or irritating additives. For oral sex/external sex toys, it is recommended to choose those with edible ingredients to avoid oral discomfort.
Material-friendly: When using with sex toys, it is recommended to choose Water-soluble lubricant ones first, as they are universal and safe; if you are using silicone or glass toys, you can choose silicone-based or water-based ones as needed.
Brand Guarantee: Always choose reputable, well-established brands for safety and reliable after-sales service. Don’t be tempted by cheap, dubious products; your health is the most important thing!
Choose according to your desired experience: everyday external toys, penetrative stimulation, aquatic sex, anal toys… Select the most suitable type for each scenario to avoid a disastrous experience!
Note the expiration date and storage: Lubricants also have an expiration date! Store in a cool, dry place and use within six months of opening for best results.
2. How to use lubricant? Detailed steps are here!
Step 1: Clean hands and toys
Take proper hygiene precautions to prevent bacteria from taking advantage of any weaknesses!
Step 2: Take an appropriate amount of lubricant
Squeeze out pea-sized portions, gradually increasing the amount as needed. Remember, “too much is fine, but too little can cause choking.”
Step 3: Apply evenly
Apply evenly to the desired areas. For external stimulation, Apply around the clitoris for external stimulation. For internal use, apply lubricant to the shaft and entrance. Apply from multiple angles for a smoother experience.
Step 4: Add supplements as needed based on experience.
Some lubricants dry quickly; if it feels sticky, just reapply a little to improve the experience immediately.
Step 5: Clean after use
Whether inside or outside the body, always wash the genitals and toys with warm water and a mild detergent to maintain hygiene and prevent infection.
Lubricant Usage Tips & Avoidance Guide
For sensitive skin: test a small area first before full use. If there is no discomfort, then apply it to a larger area.
Do not use latex condoms with oil-based lubricants, as it will cause them to break! Stick to water-based condoms.
Sex toys also need “skin care.” Silicone toys don’t like silicone-based lubricants, so you can choose from glass, metal, or ABS materials.
Stop use immediately if any discomfort occurs; clean the area promptly and consult a doctor if needed.
To avoid embarrassment, communicate with your partner beforehand and speak openly; this will double the happiness.
