Is the Power of Your Lubricant Short or Long Lasting?

One interesting thing about your water based lubricant is that it mixes with your body in a unique way and this can cause it to last longer or shorter. Some people may have a long lasting effect with brand X, but not brand Y, while their friends could report the opposite. This means you have to do some experimenting to see what will work best for you and your partner.

It’s important to remember that to keep your lube going longer you simply need to add a bit of water and it will reactivate itself, you don’t need more lube. Of course the lube will dry out eventually and when this happens it can be a bit of a gummy situation. This is one downside of water based lube. A silicone based lube will not have this gummy effect when it dries out.

You may want to weigh the pros and cons of silicone based lube versus water based lube if this is a problem for you and your partner. If you want to sample different brands and kinds of lube to find out which lasts longest for you, then you can buy a lube sampler. There are many online stores and sex shops that will offer a sample pack of different kinds and brands so you can figure out which is your personal favorite.

Trying out different products in the bedroom is all part of the fun and can make sex even better between you and your partner.
