Choose the Right Lubricant for Your Needs

Choose the Right Lubricant for Your Needs

Choosing the right lubricant for vaginal sex isn’t just about personal preference—it’s essential for enhancing pleasure, reducing discomfort, and protecting delicate tissue. With so many options available, it’s important to understand the differences in formulations and choose one that aligns with your body’s needs and sensitivities. Want a full picture of how to support vaginal health? Check out our vaginal care essentials guide.

Water-Based Lubricants

Water-based lubricants are versatile, easy to clean, and safe to use with condoms and toys. However, many include small amounts of silicone—so if you’re sensitive to that ingredient, always read the label.

👉 Recommended: Slick Satin – A plant-based water-based lubricant for vaginal sex that offers superior glide and skin-loving ingredients.

Silicone-Based Lubricants

Silicone-based lubes are long-lasting and great for extended sessions, but they come with trade-offs. They’re not compatible with silicone toys and can negatively impact delicate skin or mucosa (mouth, anus, genitals). They also tend to linger—trapping bacteria and impeding your skin’s natural recovery.

👉 Recommended: Slick Platinum – A plant-based alternative that performs better than most silicone-based options.


Steps to Use Lubricant for Vaginal Sex

1. Prepare Yourself and Your Partner

  • Wash hands and genital areas with warm water and Renew Everyday Wash for a clean start.
  • Wipe the penis and/or toys with Lube Cleanser Cloths or Renew Everyday Wash before and after sex to maintain pH balance and avoid irritation or infections.
  • Talk with your partner about comfort levels and any sensitivities.

2. Apply Lubricant

  • Squeeze a small amount of lubricant onto your fingertips.
  • Apply directly to the vulva, vaginal opening, and penis. Spread evenly for full coverage.
  • If using a condom, apply lube to the outside once it’s on for extra glide.

3. Add More as Needed

  • Keep the bottle nearby and reapply during sex if there’s any friction or dryness.
  • Generous use of lubricant for vaginal sex can prevent irritation or microtears.
  • It’s always better to use more!

4. Use Protection

  • Use condoms or other barrier methods to protect against STIs and unplanned pregnancy.

5. Aftercare

  • Clean the vulva, anus, and surrounding areas with warm water and Renew Everyday Wash or Lube Cleanser Cloths. Urinate and rinse within 25 minutes of sex to reduce STI or irritation risk.
  • Remove any residual lubricant—especially silicone-based—with gentle cleansing.
  • Take time to relax and check in with your partner afterward.

Tips for a Better Experience

  • Avoid warming or flavored lubricants, those with sugar, or additives like vitamins E or C that may cause irritation.
  • All of our lubes are pH-balanced to support vaginal and anal health.
  • Do a patch test before full use of any new lubricant to avoid allergic reactions.

SLICK Sex Wipes: Clean Up the Fun Without Killing the Vibe

Sex is messy.

Cum is sticky, it can smell funny, and if you use a regular towel, your silicone-based lube might stain it! Countless sheets have been lost to spilled bottles of silicone-based lube. This is exactly why SLICK designed our cleanser towel to remove silicones and body fluids from you, your sheets, your furniture, the floor—wherever sex happens, SLICK’s Sex Wipes have your clean-up covered.

Easy, clean, and totally disposable—just open a fresh wipe, clean up, and toss it. You can throw them away in the garbage or flush them down the toilet. Our cloth wipes are environmentally safe, hypoallergenic, and gentle on the skin of your most sensitive, special places.

As gay men, we get it—sex doesn’t always happen conveniently. SLICK Sex Wipes give you the freedom to play wherever, however, and with whoever you want. Keep them in your car or nightstand. Bring them camping. Take them to the club. They pair perfectly with lube, condoms, and poppers—but if you’re the spit-on-it-and-stick-it-in type, they’re still perfect for post-game cleanup.

It’s always smart to give your gear a rinse. The Lube Cleanser Cloth makes that quick, easy, and leaves you feeling fresh. SLICK wipes are also total sheet-savers. Like many gay men, we love our silicone and oil-based lubes, but they ruin sheets with dark stains and dot patterns that no amount of washing can fix. SLICK wipes cleanse your sheets of silicone, oil-based lubricants, and all your cummie bears with ease. A quick wipe before laundry helps save those sheets—even after a wild time.

Bonus: They’re great for toys too. Whether you’re using silicone, rubber, plastic, wood, metal, or glass toys, SLICK wipes are safe to use before and after. It’s a simple way to stay clean, hygienic, and extend your toy’s life. Want to learn more about safe toy use and care? Check out How to Use Cleansers & Wipes to Prevent STIs.
