One of the most common questions we're frequently asked is, “How can using a lubricant transform my sex life?”. Commonly associated as a problem solver, lubricants can be overlooked a sexual enhancer as well. Many women experience vaginal dryness and there are a number of factors that can contribute to this. The BBC recently reported that stress has the most effect on someone’s sex life, as well as natural lubrication (1). Other factors include:

  • Hormonal changes
  • Medications
  • Medical conditions
  • Lack of foreplay prior to sexual intercourse

    Having trouble with natural lubrication is nothing to be embarrassed about. By introducing a lubricant into your sex life it can help to offset any worries and allow you to focus on the moment and free your mind. It was reported that 9 out of 10 women believed that sex was more pleasurable, comfortable and enjoyable when using additional lubricant (2). Not only do lubricants enhance the experience for women, but for men too. Vaginal penetration or anal sex, the addition can help erections to last longer – creating more sensuous intercourse.

    Just say YES

    Lubricants are great for increasing pleasure during the most intimate of situations. Up to 75% of couples thought gels and lubricants enhanced their pleasure (3), improving confidence to be more creative and try new things. Engaging in well-lubricated intercourse will prevent any painful friction or abrasion to the delicate tissues of the vagina or penis – intensifying feeling and pleasure at the same time. Not only are lubricants great for stimulating sexual intercourse, but they also open up the door for some fabulous foreplay too! Incorporating lubricant into your foreplay routine will allow you to keep it going as long as you want, without any worry of vaginal dryness. It will provide a seamless transition into intercourse, keeping the stimulation levels high.
