The Complete Guide to Pure Romance Lubricants
Share
The world of lubricants can be a little complicated. Water-based, silicone-based, flavored, warming – nearly endless options could create confusion. One of the most important things to learn about lubricants is not which is best – but which is best for certain activities. It’s great to have different kinds on hand for whatever the night might hold.
But never fear, Pure Romance is here to guide you.
Not only can we tell you what kind of lubricant is best for different activities, but we can also recommend products from our own lineup that fit the bill.
Wait Wait – Why Do I Need A Lubricant?
Vaginal lubricants aren’t just for older women – lubricants are for everyone. We all know what they say: the wetter the better. And studies show that using lubes during sex can lead to an increase in sexual satisfaction – and who doesn't want that?
Ok, ready to get wet and wild? Here’s your complete guide to lubricants.
Sensitive and Dry?
Women can experience dryness at any age. Breastfeeding, menopause, perimenopause, medications, and even stress are all potential causes. That’s why some consider using lubricant not just for sex, but also for everyday comfort.
That’s one of the cases with our most popular lubricant, Just Like Me. Why do we call it that? Because it’s a water-based, pH-balanced formula that imitates natural vaginal moisture. It can keep you comfortable all day while also increasing your pleasure at night. Our Original formula is FDA-cleared for peace of mind, and, because it’s water-based, it’s gentle and cleans up easily.
Exploring Water Play?
When having some extra fun in the bath or shower, you’ll want to use the right lubricant to keep things wet and wild. Our silicone-based lubricant, Pure Pleasure, has a long-lasting, slick, and slippery texture that ensures it won’t easily wash away or soak into the skin, like most water-based lubricants, making it ideal for water play.
Another lubricant that’s great for water play is our Hybrid Gel lube. This unique lubricant has a combined silicone and water-based formula that offers the best of both worlds. It’s gentle like a water-based lubricant, but also long-lasting like a silicone-based one.
Experiencing Pain During Sex?
Your comfort is key! Nearly 75% of women have experienced pain during sex at some point in their lives. If this is a regular concern, we always recommend you talk to your healthcare provider.
Causes of pain can vary, but a common one is vaginal dryness.
One lubricant we’ve gotten great feedback on is our water-based lubricant with CBD. One reviewer says, “Ever since having babies, sex has been very painful and something I barely tolerated… I had a friend recommend this lube to me to try and it was life-changing. Zero pain.”
Trying To Conceive?
Sometimes, getting pregnant isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Lots of sex sounds great…until you start struggling. Especially when every other friend on Instagram seems to be getting pregnant every other week. Suddenly the thing that should be fun turns into a stressful chore. That’s where Conceptria may be able to help.
Conceptria helps “set the stage” for conception. It’s designed to match pH levels in the vagina during ovulation in order to better accommodate sperm and to match with sperm’s molecular balance. This ensures that the lubricant is working with the sperm and not against them.
Conceptria is FDA-cleared and guaranteed to mimic a fertile vaginal environment and help in the conception process. It may not be a cure-all for fertility problems, but it’s a great first step before you begin exploring alternate (and more expensive) avenues of conception.
Exploring the Backdoor?
Studies show that more and more Americans are enjoying anal sex. This may be a surprise to some, but as we throw away the old taboos and become more open to new sexual experiences, it’s only natural that the backdoor would gain some new fans. But before you start knocking, know that a silicone-based lubricant is an absolute must for anal sex. Unlike the vagina, the rectum doesn’t self-moisturize, so you need to make sure you have ample lubrication before diving in. That’s where Pure Pleasure can become your new go-to.
Traditional water-based lubricants can evaporate or absorb into the skin quickly, but silicone-based lubricants stick around for a longer period of time and provide the perfect amount of slipperiness to ensure comfort, safety, and fun.
Want to Sweeten Oral Sex?
If you’re looking for something traditional, look no further than Dessert Trio. This set of three water-based lubricants features delectable flavors like Double Chocolate, Crème Brûlée, and Salted Caramel that can each make any oral favor into the sweetest treat.
Or maybe you’d like something a little different? Our creamy lubricant, Whipped, creates a fantastic feel and glides with its lotion-like texture – and don’t even get us started on the flavors. Who hasn’t wanted oral sex to taste like a cupcake? Or strawberry cheesecake? These amazing, out-of-this-world-delicous flavors combined with Whipped’s unique texture will make anyone fall to their knees.
I’m Looking to Give Foreplay an Edge?
Ladies, we know how important foreplay is. If you want to change up your pre-sex routine and add a little heat to the proceedings, try Sensations, our warming lubricant. This lube goes on cool but the air-activated formula warms up when you add breath or a little friction. Even better? Sensations comes in different flavors – like Cotton Candy and Pineapple Paradise – so you’re not just turning up the heat, but adding a little flavor into the mix!
Using a Toy?
When it comes to Pure Romance toys and Pure Romance lubricants, you really can’t go wrong with any combination. However, there are definitely combos we recommend.
Using a penis-centric toy like a masturbation sleeve or cock ring? Go with Whipped. The lotion-like texture provides the perfect level of comfort and glide.
Anal toy? Silicone-based is the way to go. Pure Pleasure has your back.
Now, you may have heard a rumor that you shouldn’t use a silicone-based lubricant with silicone toys. Well, that’s not something you have to worry about with Pure Romance.
Those stories of melted and ruined toys are because someone somewhere touted their product as something it wasn’t: silicone. But all of our silicone toys are made with 100% food-grade silicone and work perfectly with silicone-based lubricants. We never hide our ingredients or materials. When in doubt, check the product’s web page. If it says “silicone,” know that that’s exactly what you’re getting.
All that said, most of our toys work great with any of our water-based lubes, as well. Whether it’s Just Like Me with its re-wetting formula, our Dessert Trio flavored lubricant set, or our CBD Water-based Lubricant, you can’t really go wrong with these best all-around, “great for any situation” lubricants.
Slip Slidin’ Away
Now that you know the ins and outs of lubricants, you can make the smart call when it comes to what to grab and when. Remember, with lubricants, it’s about having options. Different lubes work best for different toys or activities, so always make sure you have a decent selection on hand for whatever sensual journey you might embark on next.
