How is lubricating gel used?
A very small amount of lube is all it takes to use it, it's like a magic ingredient that opens the way to pleasure. It's applied to whatever needs to glide better, toys, logs, caressed holes.
They glide surprisingly more than you might think, so don't overdo it. You can always add a drop!
Different gels may be used for different devices and occasions, so always check the composition and compatibility with condoms or devices. Oil and silicone gels should not be used for many things.
How to choose a lubricating gel?
Do you just need moisture, or do you want something extra for play? Warmth, coldness, taste and scent, or special uses? Choose together according to your sensitivity, in general, gels should not cause inflammation, but if you are more sensitive or pregnant, choose anti-inflammatory ones. And to be safe, avoid those cooling, warming, flavored, or numbing lubricating gels.
Types of lubricating gels
Water-based lubricating gels
They are easy to wash off, thickened with plant-based ingredients like gelatin or gum. Ideal for everyday use and most tools and situations, they are the least irritating and leave no stains. They simply dry and the evidence of pleasure is gone!
Silicone lubricating gels
They stay slippery for longer… they are not water soluble, which is great for your shower or bath time play. They are suitable for silicone toys, they work well with condoms, but they can sometimes be irritating.
Oil-based lubricating gels
Great for water, but not as durable as silicone. Not suitable for use with condoms, the material reacts to them by becoming brittle, which can cause condoms to burst. They are suitable if you react to silicone with itching.
Cooling (delaying) lubricating gels
Gentle, cooling and therefore slightly delaying ejaculation, who wouldn't want that! The longer you are with your partner, the deeper the bond you create together. But sometimes be careful, the gels are strong! Don't freeze!
Warming (prickling) lubricating gels
These are more appreciated by women, they provide a pleasant warm feeling, more blood flow and literally speed up orgasm. An exploding experience and fiery desire, often all in a few minutes! The clitoris in particular is waiting for them, even with its toys - that's a guarantee of ecstasy in seconds.
Anal lubricant gels
They are specially designed to please his and her asses, making penetration easier. They tend to be thicker, more slippery, and allow for even the most serious pussy-pussies (whether toys or men) to enter.
Flavored lubricating gels
Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, or chocolate or salted caramel, or anything else? You'll really remember this kind of lovemaking and playing because of that other heightened sense, the taste! And some gels are specifically for oral sex, like raspberry.
Pain relief lubricant gels
They contain substances (lidocaine) that reduce hypersensitivity during sexual intercourse. They can slightly numb, but never use them where you are deliberately going for pain, as this increases the risk of injury. For games with the most sensitive intimate part, for example, with the urethra or for electrosex, great! Pain-free release will only allow you to experience pure pleasure.

They support sperm movement and are suitable for their movement, suitable for couples planning a child.

Lubricating gels with antibacterial effects
Great if you suffer from inflammation after sex. You can try them, they are among the gentlest and often contain lactobacilli that are beneficial to the vagina.
Which lubricating gel is best?
Choosing the best gel depends on your needs – for condoms and everyday use, a water-based one is ideal. For anal sex, choose a gel with a higher density. For special play, any unusual one. But take a good look at their labels. Some factors are important.
pH is important – the ideal pH is one that resembles the environment of a healthy vagina (value 3.8 – 4.5. Higher pH can irritate the vagina, increasing the risk of infection.
Osmolality is important – the ability to remove moisture from tissues and substances. The ideal value is 1200 mOsm/kg. Some gels simply dry out and increase susceptibility to irritation and inflammation.

What to use instead of lubricant?
First, let's talk about what not to do! Avoid petroleum jelly, butter, baby oil, yogurt... common skin creams, and other unsuitable products that can cause irritation, inflammation and... well, it just wouldn't smell good.
Coconut oil, almond oil are good, both of which nourish the skin at the same time (but not for those with nut allergies). Aloe vera gel, olive oil... but the best temporary solutions are of course your partner's saliva or your own! Just be careful if you've eaten chili before, so you don't have a warming experience.
Why do we think this?
Lubricating gels are not a sign of failure. On the contrary, spice up your bed games with them, because as you can see, gel can bring a completely different shade of sex! And you will want to repeat the wonderfully slippery, velvety experience. If only because it increases the chance of a proper orgasm.
