How to Choose the Right Personal Lubricant

Monday, February 22nd, 2010


Have you ever wondered which personal lubricant is best for your needs? With so many kinds to choose from, it can be a little intimidating. Which one is best for use with condoms? What if you need lube for underwater play? And what about anal play? You may not feel that it even matters, but to get the best experience from your lubricant, you need to make the right choice.

Although there are many different brands of personal lubricant, they will almost always fall into three main categories: water-based, silicone, and oil based. Each different kind is best used in specific situations.

Water-based lubricants are the most widely available. They are also the healthiest for you, easiest to clean up, and are compatible with latex and many sex toys. They do have a tendency to dry out after some time, but this problem is easily overcome by simply reapplying more. Since they are water soluble, they are not recommended for use in the bathtub, pool, or spa. They would just breakdown almost immediately and be rendered useless.

Silicone-based lubricants have many exclusive traits that distinguish them from other personal lubricants. Unlike water-based lubes, which absorb into the skin, silicone stays put for a very consistent glide. It has the feel of oil, but doesn’t have the negative effect of breaking down latex like most oil-based lubes do. Another positive feature of silicone is it’s great for anal play. With its long lasting durability, it will stay smooth and pleasurable to the sensitive anal tissue. Since it’s not water soluble, it works beautifully in the bath tub, pool or spa. Silicone lube is not compatible with cyberskin or silicone dildos. You must always cover such toys with a condom prior to the application of silicone lube.

Oil-based lubricants are the least popular of the three. They are best used for anal play and male masturbation. Oil-based lubes will irritate most women’s vaginas, so should be avoided if possible. They should never be used with latex products as they will destroy them on contact. Although oil-based lube has its limitations, it is still worth mentioning since it does reduce friction dramatically which is always a plus. Just remember to use it in the right circumstances.

So now that you know the basic differences between personal lubricants you should be able to make an informed decision on which one is right for you. The Slippery Pie carries all these personal lubricants in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Many of the lubes mentioned above have added features such as a warming effect and flavors to please the palate while you please your partner. With such a huge selection, there is no need to ever be “dry” again. Smooth things out with some personal lubricant and enjoy your sexual experiences to the fullest.

The Coming Together of Couples and Sex Toys

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Jenna Stevenson asked:


Many people have owned, seen, or thought of owning sex toys, but many couples do not explore sex toys together. Perhaps it is because many people view sex toys as dirty or something that does not need to be done within a marriage or serious relationship. Or perhaps it is simply because we have a tendency to be embarrassed about such matters. If more couples would come together and realize that sex toys and a playful attitude towards sex and their time together in the bedroom then a great deal of people would be happier with their sex lives. Sex toys can allow couples to experiment with one another and their own sexuality in new and exciting ways.

Sex toys don’t have to be looked at in a negative light like many people look at them. They aren’t dirty or even anything to be embarrassed about. Of course, the vast majority of people wouldn’t give rave reviews over a new sex toy of some sort over dinner with their family, but these toys aren’t anything that shouldn’t be enjoyed. In fact, they are produced to be enjoyed by consenting adults that have nothing to be embarrassed about! And, when couples can enjoy such things they can learn how to interact sexually in new and exciting ways.

It’s a great idea for couples to talk about sex and sex toys as soon as they begin a sexual relationship. The longer you wait to talk about such matters, the more awkward it will become. Even if you’ve never owned any sex toys in the past, you should be able to express your desire to go shopping for some toys that will accentuate your already steamy sex life. Going shopping for the first time can be a little awkward, but that is why the couple should decide to share all of their feelings while shopping! They should be able to express what they like, what they find interesting, and what they think is absolutely disgusting. Just the sex toy shopping experience can bring a couple closer together because they’ll learn new things about one another.

There are a lot places to buy sex toys, but buying them online is a great idea if one or both people are feeling a bit nervous about it. Buying online will allow you to see full color, vivid pictures of all of the sex toys you could ever imagine without actually stepping foot in an adult store! When you order sex toys online everyone can get what they want and it will arrive at your front door within a matter of days so that the play can begin! Some toys you’ll find that you really enjoy as a couple while others you can simply play or not play with.

Couples may find that they only pull out their sex toys once a month, but it’s the knowledge that there are always new and fun ways to please one another that makes sex toys so much fun. Whether you plan to play with them all of the time or every once and again, sex toys can be a very good thing for couples that have just begun and those that have been together for quite some time.
