How to Introduce Lube to Partner | Complete BedRoom Guide
You’ve probably heard people mention lube in passing or maybe you’ve come across it in one of those “is this the secret to better sex?” articles. But there’s still that little voice in your head going, “How do I even bring this up without it feeling weird?” Trust me, you're not alone. Maybe it’s the secret sauce your intimate life has been missing. So, let’s talk about it. No awkwardness, no judgment—just a fun, honest conversation about how a simple addition can make your sex life even better.
Why Lubricant is a Game-Changer for Your Intimate Life
Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get nearly enough love: lube. And no, it’s not just for those dry moments. Lube is like the unsung hero of the bedroom—seriously, it can do so much more than you think. We’re talking next level sensation, smoother rides, and way more comfort for everyone involved. Whether you’re flying solo or enjoying some quality time with a partner, lube can totally change the game.
But here's the thing—so many people are still hesitant to reach for it! Why? Usually, it’s due to some outdated myths or just not knowing how to bring it up in the moment. But trust me, once you’ve tried it, you’ll wonder why you waited so long.
Busting Myths About Lubricants
Let’s clear the air on a few things, shall we? There’s this weird idea that lube is only for specific people or situations—like dealing with dryness or post-menopausal intimacy. Nope, not true at all! Lube isn’t just for "fixing" something; it’s about making the good stuff even better. Whether you’re 25 or 75, solo or with a partner, adding a little lube can turn a great moment into an amazing one. It's all about boosting pleasure, not solving problems.
Here are a few myths we need to shut down once and for all:
- "Lube is only for older adults." Nope, lube is for everyone. No matter how old (or young!) you are, a high-quality lube can take your experience up a notch.
- "It kills the mood." Are you kidding? If anything, it cranks the mood up. The feeling of applying it, that little bit of anticipation? It can actually make things way more exciting.
- "It’s only necessary if something’s wrong." Wrong again! Even when things are going perfectly, lube can take the pleasure to a whole new level. It’s like the cherry on top of an already awesome sundae.
So, let's stop acting like lube is just for emergencies and start treating it like the bedroom upgrade it is! Ready to experience the difference? Start exploring our Water-Based Lube Collection for an all-around upgrade to your bedroom game.
Choosing the Right Lubricant for Your Needs
Picking the right lube is like picking the right sidekick—it can make all the difference. Here's a super quick, slightly cheeky breakdown of the three main types:
-
Water-Based Lubricants
The jack-of-all-trades! Safe with condoms and toys, easy to clean, and doesn’t stain. It’s like the basic snack that everyone loves—just keep it handy for a quick reapply if things heat up and it taps out early. Explore our versatile Water-Based Creamy Lube today! -
Silicone-Based Lubricants
The marathon runner of lubes! This one stays slick forever and even loves water play (hello, shower fun). But it’s like your high-maintenance friend who doesn’t get along with your silicone toys, so keep them separated! Go the distance with our best-selling Ultra Slick Silicone Lube for long-lasting fun. -
Oil-Based Lubricants
The smooth operator. Perfect for massages and those long, lazy sessions. But heads up—it’s for external use only. It also hates condoms and loves staining your sheets, so proceed with caution. Basically, it's the “go big or go home” option (just have extra laundry detergent on hand!).

How to Bring Up Lubricant Without the Awkwardness
Introducing something new to your intimate routine can feel intimidating, but approaching the subject with openness and curiosity can help ease tension. Here’s how to bring it up naturally:
1. Start the Conversation Outside the Bedroom
Don’t wait until things are heating up to drop the “lube” bomb. Instead, casually bring it up when you’re both relaxed—maybe while watching Netflix or having dinner. You could say something like, “Hey, I read that lube can make things even more fun in the bedroom. What do you think about trying it?” Simple, curious, and no pressure!
2. Normalize the Use of Lubricants
Think of lube as just another fun tool for the bedroom, like mood lighting or a killer playlist. The more casual and normal you make it sound, the easier it is to talk about. No need to make it a big deal—it’s just another way to boost the fun!
3. Emphasize the Shared Experience
Lube is about making things better for both of you! Let your partner know it’s not just about solving an issue but about improving the whole experience. It’s smoother, more fun, and will even bring you closer.

When to Use Lubricant for Maximum Pleasure
You've got your lube ready and your partner’s on board—now, let’s talk timing! Knowing when to whip it out can make a big difference.
1. Foreplay Boost
Lube isn’t just for the main event! Use it during foreplay to turn up the heat. Whether it's a sensual massage or some manual play, a little slipperiness can make every touch feel amazing. You can even work applying the lube into the foreplay—build anticipation and make it part of the fun.
Check out our Oral Delight Lube Collection for the perfect foreplay companion.
2. During Penetration
When it’s time for penetration, lube is your best friend. Whether it’s vaginal or anal, it reduces friction, makes everything more comfortable, and just feels better all around. And remember, for anal play, lube is non-negotiable since the body doesn’t produce natural lubrication there.
Make sure you're ready with our Rear Comfort Lube for the ultimate smooth experience.
3. With Sex Toys
Want to level up your toy game? Add some lube! It takes the sensations to the next level, making everything feel smoother and more intense. Just double-check that your lube and toy materials are compatible so your favorite toys stay in top shape.
Pair your toys with our Special Toy Lube for great results.
Conclusion
Talking about lube doesn’t have to be some awkward, “Uh, so… what do you think about…” kind of conversation. Honestly, it can be more like, “Hey, you know what could make this even better? This magic little bottle right here!” Think of it as your backstage pass to VIP-level intimacy. Whether you're turning up the heat during foreplay, making things glide effortlessly during the main event, or adding a little extra excitement with your favorite toy, lube is basically the unsung hero of the bedroom.
And look, once you introduce it into your routine, you're not just going from good to great—you’re going from “Eh, that was nice” to “Oh my god, that was amazing!” Trust me, you'll be wondering why no one handed you a bottle of this stuff years ago. So, grab the lube, bring it into the bedroom, and prepare for the kind of upgrade that’ll make you go, “Wow, we are geniuses for doing this.” You're welcome in advance!
