Knect Personal Water Based Lube 75ml

Product Information

I f you’re feeling the friction (ahem), then finding the best lube is not only a necessity but a gamechanger. In the UK alone, more than 61,350 pints of lube are bought each year, according to Lovehoney, and we buy the most anal toys than any other country surveyed. Speaking about how it can enhance pleasure, she added: "It generally makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for women. A word of warning: natural oils (like coconut oil) and oil-based lubes may have the right consistency, but they can erode latex, which is why Sinclair says to avoid using coconut oil or almond oil when using condoms. If you're using sex toys, she also suggests avoiding silicone-based lubes with sex toys. "Using silicone lube on a silicone sex toy can cause bending, warping, and the ruin of a toy," says Sinclair "Use a high-quality, water-based lubricant instead." This water-based lube is made without parabens for a more ~natural~ experience, and the simple pump top makes it *so* easy to dispense (though it also comes in a smaller, travel-friendly version). Plus, you don't have to worry about clean up, because this formula won't stain your stuff. And though this formula is relatively simple and non-allergenic, it does contain glycerin, so it's not a great choice for vulvas. Whatever type of sex you’re having, finding the best lube for the job at hand isn’t always straightforward so we’ve created a short list of all the best lubes we think you’ll benefit from the most.

The best lube can also avoid injury and tearing when having sex, particularly during anal sex. What’s more, if you’re having lots of sex, or vigorous sex with at least one female partner, then a lubricant can also reduce the likelihood of UTI’s (urinary tract infections). Also having a well-lubricated penis makes sex pleasurable for a man too, as it can help intercourse last longer. Communication is the first step to connection and so, discussing these things with your partner is so important. Lube also heightens arousal and increases pleasure during foreplay, and if you’re using sex toys or masturbating, it will make the process much easier."FYI, i f a lube advertises itself as “numbing,” then you want to stay far away. Lube that makes butt stuff less painful sounds too good to be true...because it is. “Never, ever using a lubricant that numbs the anal sphincter,” Organic Loven founder Taylor Sparks previously told Cosmo . “This is the one place that you want to know what is painful so that you can stop whatever action you are taking, and not wait for the numbing lubricant/cream to wear off and realize there has been damage.” Numbing lubes with analgesics or desensitizing agents in them (like benzocaine) won’t let you know you’re overdoing it until after the fact, when the lube wears off, which is not ideal. When in fact, this is not the case, and it is used by younger women and men for pleasure or more comfortable sex."
