How to Use Personal Lubricant: Tips make you look like a Pro


6 minute read

Have you tried a personal lubricant before and were disappointed with your experience?

Whether you’re a first-time user or someone who’s looking to spice up your sexy time with the perfect personal lubricant, you’ve come to the right place.

Consider this guide your crash course to the wonderful world of lube.

Lubricant is any substance that helps reduce friction.

Lubricants are often used for bicycle chains and machines to help cut down on the friction caused by moving parts.

A personal lubricant contains different ingredients, but the idea is the same. They’re used to reduce the friction on your own moving “parts” to make sex and masturbation more effortless and enjoyable.

Let's say that your goal is to enhance your sexual experiences with a personal lubricant. Now, how should you use them?

Don't worry! We are here to help! 

How to Apply Personal Lubricant?

When it comes to applying your lube, don’t overthink it. It’s actually quite simple. Start by using a pea-sized portion of lube for yourself, your partner, or your toy of choice.

For extra control and to limit spillage, squeeze lube onto your fingertips first, then apply. With a bit of practice, you’ll be able to estimate pretty closely how much lube you need. Remember, you can constantly reapply.

Storing Your Lube

You need to know that most personal lubricants have extremely stable chemical structures, so what does that mean?

This means that a lubricant doesn’t need the same care you’d give to insulin medication, for example, when storing it.

While there’s no need to stash your lube in the fridge, it’s definitely a good idea to keep it away from direct heat and out of the easy reach of children and pets.

Plus, cleaning massive quantities of lube from your carpet, sheets, and drapes is a task most of us would like to avoid.

Can Personal Lubricants cause Allergies?

While most lubes feature non-toxic formulas, they can all cause digestive issues if consumed in large quantities.

Most personal lubricant users will admit that they had to try out a few different formulas before finding the perfect one, so don’t be shy - request some free samples and start exploring your options.

You might even find that you or your partner enjoy more than one formula for different reasons.

That’s totally okay - no rule says you can only own one bottle of lube.

Get ready to try Lubes from our selection.

That being said, why are there so many different kinds of lubes out there, then?

The reason is that depending on various factors, each lube has different and specific benefits.

You might ask yourself: Where should I start?

Wet Original is a water-based gel personal lubricant by Wet International.

If you’re looking for a little something to whet your appetite while you get down and dirty, Wet Original is the perfect slick pick!

This long-lasting lube is thick, smooth, and - because it is water-based - compatible with both sex toys and condoms.

A few drops go a long way, and with Wet Original’s gel consistency, those drops are far less likely to drip all over the place (but don’t worry if they do - this product won't stain the sheets).

As it is a gel, this lube also offers an extra “cushion,” which is super helpful when activities are getting vigorous or playing with something more significant.

Though it does last a long time, Wet Original can get a bit tacky. It may need a few additional drops to reconstitute the original slickness.

Folks with sensitive skin may want to test this lube out before going full throttle.

Wet Original contains glycerin and parabens that can irritate sensitive bits. If you are looking for something similar, look at JO H20.
