How to Use Lubricant for Vaginal Sex
Learning how to use lubricant for vaginal sex is essential for reducing friction, preventing discomfort, and boosting overall intimacy. Whether you’re new to lube or upgrading your experience, SLICK offers clean, pH-balanced formulas designed for your health and pleasure.
Why Using Lubricant Matters
Without proper lubrication, vaginal sex can cause irritation, tearing, or discomfort. Using a high-quality product like SLICK supports natural moisture, enhances pleasure, and helps maintain healthy vaginal pH levels.
Steps to Apply Lube Effectively
1. Clean Before You Begin
Start by washing hands and genitals with warm water and a gentle intimate cleanser. Clean sex toys as well to avoid introducing bacteria.
2. Apply the Lubricant
Squeeze a small amount of SLICK onto your fingertips. Apply it directly to the vulva, vaginal opening, and penis. If you’re using a condom, apply lube on the outside after it’s on.
3. Reapply as Needed
Keep lube nearby during sex. If you feel dryness or friction, add more. Comfort should always come first.
4. Use Protection
Use condoms or barriers to protect against STIs and pregnancy. According to the CDC, lubricant improves condom performance and reduces breakage risk.
5. Aftercare and Hygiene
After sex, wipe down the vulva, penis, and any toys. Pee within 25 minutes to flush bacteria and lower the risk of UTIs or irritation. Remove any remaining lube, especially if it’s silicone-based.
Tips for Better Intimacy
- Avoid warming or flavored lubes with sugar or vitamin E—they can irritate sensitive areas.
- Do a patch test with any new lube, especially if you’re sensitive.
- Stick with pH-balanced formulas like SLICK Original.
