Why Lube? The facts about personal lubricants
Why should you use a lubricant? And why choose Whet ™ Lube?
If you're thinking "Oh, I don't need THAT," think again…
- Our bodies’ own love lotion is controlled by hormones and specific circumstances. We all experience times of “dehydration”
- A lack of proper lubrication can result in painful intercourse and in fact most bacterial infections are a direct result of too little lubrication coupled with penetration.
- Luricant is the ultimate sexual accessory in every vixen’s bedroom.
- Lubricant makes a slippery situation even more slippery,
- Increase pleasurable sensations
- Lessens the chance of condom breakage,
- Is essential for Solo and Not So Solo play
- Is absolutely essential for anal play,
- And can even be substituted for hair gel in a pinch. :-)
Whet™ is a water- based, non-staining lubricant that can safely be used with condoms and toys including silicone.
It is available in the unflavoured and unscented Extra Virgin or two seductive flavours: Vanillicious and SlipBerry.
Using lube: When would you use it?
Vaginal Penetration -of any sort!
Some women also naturally produce less lubrication than others.
Both your car engine and you run better after a lube job.
Condom Use
- Condoms work and feel better when lubricated than not.
- Never use oil-based lubricants with condoms as they will break down the latex.
- Adult Toys/pleasure enhancers such as dildos, vibrators, fingers and so on, benefit from the use of lubricant. Lube can help "smooth things out "and provide a more stimulating experience.
Masturbation
Many people make lube a part of every solo or non-solo love voyage.
Oral Sex
Lubricants can be a fun addition to oral sex. The flavoured varieties are perfect. Try the Vanillicious and SlipBerry flavours for some variety.
Massage
Try out a sensual massage using some flavoured lube and rub your partner up ‘the right way.’
Anal Penetration
The anus, unlike the vagina, does not lubricate naturally and the anal membrane is thin and can easily injured if there is too little lubrication. Make Whet lube part of your arsenal of anal accessories!
Types of Lube
Water-Based
Water-based lubricants are the closest to your natural body fluids. They can be used with latex condoms and silicone toys. This is the type of lubricant most commonly recommended by doctors and sex therapists. Whet ™ does not stain, is safe to use with toys of all materials and barrier birth control methods and rarely causes irritation.
Some brands of water-based lubricant do tend to dry out during extended play (although they can be revived with a spritz of water or saliva.)
Whet ™ has been specifically designed to remain moist, retain its lubricity, and not become sticky or tacky.
Silicone-Based
The advantage of silicone lubes is supposedly that they do not dry out and that they are waterproof. They may be used with condoms but they can and will harm sex toys and anything else made of silicone.
Oil-Based
Oil based lubes are great for massage and even for masturbation but they destroy condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps or latex toys containing latex and should never be used together with them. Oil based lubricants are also liable to stain sheets and clothing or at least be difficult to wash off.
Petroleum based
These are made from petroleum jelly, mineral oil or petrolatum. An example would be Vaseline ™ or baby jelly.
Petroleum based lubes quickly destroy latex and shouldn’t ever be used with condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps or latex toys. They may also be drying and toxic to mucous membranes and it is generally recommended that one steer clear of them.
