How to Use Personal Lubricant

Personal lubricants are used to make sexual penetration easier and more enjoyable for both partners. They increase sensation and lessen the chance of pain during penetrative contact, particularly anal intercourse.
The use of personal lubricants makes abrasions less likely to appear on the genitals or anus, and also decreases the likelihood of a condom breaking from friction. As a result, using a personal lubricant lowers the chance of transmitting a sexually transmitted disease. Personal lubricants are also ideal for stimulation with fingers or adult toys.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Personal lubricant Latex condom

1. Put a one or two drops of lubricant inside the tip of the latex condom before putting the condom on. This will provide better sensation for the penetrating partner.

2. Pour a dime-sized amount of lubricant on the palm of your hand.

3. Spread the lubricant generously around the external female genitalia (vulva) or anus. Also apply the lubricant around the inside of the opening of the orifice that will be penetrated, and on the shaft of the penis or object that will be doing the penetration.

4. Reapply more lubricant during intercourse as necessary.

5. Wipe the lubricant off or wash with warm soap and water when finished.

Tips & Warnings

• There is more than one type of personal lubricant, and the kind you use is largely up to personal preference. Water-based lubricants are easiest to find in stores and are safe to use with latex condoms. Silicone-based lubricants are also usually safe to use with latex condoms, and tend to last longer and have a smoother texture. Oil-based lubricants are not safe for use with latex condoms, and have a rich texture. Some lubricants are flavored, but these are for use with oral sex. Do not use flavored lubricants for genital contact, as they can cause infections. Many lubricants contain glycerin, which can cause genital infections in some women. Make sure to read the ingredients label if this is a concern for you.
• Never use oil-based lubricants with latex condoms. The lubricant will break down the materials, potentially causing the condom to tear. Water and silicone based lubricants are safe for use with latex condoms; always read the packaging.
