Lube is commonly known as an enabler for more comfortable vaginal or anal sex. Generally, it helps penetration feel a lot more comfortable, ensuring body safety. It's further used to provide additional sensations during sex, where partners can better sensations through warming, cooling or tingling lube. However, there are plenty of other situations and certain sex toys that need lube to be applied in a specific way to get rid of any unwanted friction.
Clitoral Vibrators
The difference between clitoral and g-spot vibrators for example is that clitoral vibrators may not need to be inserted. Therefore, many forget that it may be necessary to apply some lubricant to the head of the toy before playing with it. The clitoris is super sensitive, so this is especially important if it hasn't been stimulated beforehand. This situation commonly comes up when couples share a vibrator. In the midst of pleasurable passion, you might not think or bother to apply a dash of lubricant to a vibrator. However, it only takes a second and will ensure that sex goes smoothly going forward. It might not be necessary, but this rules out any possibility of it being uncomfortable. The vibrator may also drag on other parts of skin which won’t feel nice, specifically if it's an erogenous zone.
Couples vibrators!
In this case I'm referring to vibrators that can be worn during penetration. Vibrators such as the We-Vibe Sync or Lelo Noa are becoming increasingly popular. They provide g-spot and clitoral stimulation with penetration from your partner, it’s no wonder they’re so popular! However, some couples note experiencing a little bit of discomfort with the use of their orgasmic catalyst. Even if they remembered to apply lubricant for clitoral stimulation and penetration, they forgot to apply it to the entire spine of these toys. This is important because this area may come into contact with his shaft, causing an uncomfortable dry friction. Remember that genital skin is rather delicate, to ensure body safety, more lubricant is always better than less!
Putting on a cock ring!
A common complaint about cock rings is that they are "so uncomfortable to put on!" This happens because of various reasons. Putting a cock ring on while you are fully erect, an inadequate amount of manscaping has taken place or not lubricating your cock ring(s)! Applying a bit of lube to your cock ring will help heaps! It's going to make any contact with the skin smoother and will generally make it more comfortable once put on. Especially if wearing a cock ring that loops around the testicles! Another thing some lubricant will help with is if you have to negotiate some pubic hair, not having to worry about hair pulling stops any random readjustments.
Anal toys
It's common knowledge that anal toys require lubricant. However, many people might jump into anal play without realising that lube may need to be reapplied at some point! Even though lube can last for a very long time, it may not have as much longevity as your desire. Therefore, take a regular check as to how things are feeling back there and apply some more lube. This is not the sort of thing you don't want to learn from experience, as getting an anal toy stuck would be very uncomfortable and has led to many people making an embarrassing trip to the emergency department. Silicone lubricant is often used for anal play because it lasts so long. Water based lube such as Wet Stuff Gold is also very long lasting!
Remember!
Different types of lubricant are better to use with certain sex toys. This is usually dependant on what sort of material the toy is made from. It's recommended to use water-based lubricant with vibrators as it's so easy to clean. Silicone lubricant is usually not suitable with vibrators as it degrades silicone material. Oil based lubricant is not compatible with any toys that are made out of PVC, rubber or latex (condoms).
If you feel any strange pain or discomfort with the use of a lubricant immediately stop using. This may be an indication of an allergic reaction or a pesky yeast infection. It's recommended to go to your nearest health professional to figure out what's wrong. For the full rundown, read 'How to know if you’re allergic to lubricant.'
