The Best Pharmacy Lubricants

Want to know which are the best pharmacy lubricants?Many people think that lubricants are only used when a woman has a problem with vaginal dryness to reduce discomfort and pain during intimate relations.

However, lubricants can also be used even when there is no dryness to increase pleasure by making penetration easier or discovering new ways to enjoy intimacy through, for example, flavoured lubricants.

At Farmaciasdirect, we are going to look at some of the most common questions that usually come up when it comes to lubricants. It is perfectly natural for many people to have certain doubts about how they work and what they can offer, and our aim is to clear them up simply.

Do women who do not lubricate enough lack arousal?

No. The truth is that there are many reasons that can explain vaginal dryness, such as hormonal changes, using tampons, stress and anxiety, or having had a baby.

Why should lubricants be used?

In the past, lubricants were associated with homosexual relationships and women who suffered from vaginal dryness.

However, their main purpose is to improve intimate experiences by enhancing sensations and adding more fun.

More and more people are choosing lubricants, and not only to deal with a dryness issue. Thanks to them, sexual relations become smoother and more pleasurable, but they also offer new experiences and sensations to enjoy healthy and pleasurable intimacy.

How do you apply lubricant? How much do you need?

In reality, there is no set rule to follow. The idea is for you to relax and experiment so you can enjoy it to the fullest. If you have never used it before, simply apply a small amount to your fingers and spread it gently over your intimate areas.

If you use it with a condom, before putting it on, make sure not to overdo it or apply more than necessary, so that it does not slip during sex. If you have not used enough, you can always apply more.

Which areas of the body can I apply lubricant to?

You can apply it wherever and however you like. FarmaDirect lubricants are high quality and you can use them on whichever parts of the body you want. We also stock flavoured lubricants that can be consumed without any problem.

We also have warming or cooling lubricants for very pleasant sensations during penetration, although they are not especially recommended for oral sex because sensations can vary greatly from one person to another.

Can lubricants be used with vibrators?

Many people use lubricants with vibrators because they enjoy more intense pleasure. The reason is simple: lubricant allows the vibrator to glide easily, creating a more pleasurable sensation.

If you want to use these products with vibrators, the safest option is water-based lubricants, which can also be washed off easily with water.

In any case, we recommend that you always read the vibrator instructions so you can check with the manufacturer which lubricants are compatible.

Is it safe to use lubricants with condoms?

Oil-based lubricants are completely incompatible with condoms. When used, they can damage and break them. The same applies to homemade lubricants some people use, such as olive oil or petroleum jelly.

That said, there are other lubricants that pose no risk when used with condoms. We are referring to water-based lubricants or silicone lubricants:

• Water-based gels stand out for being gentle, light and easy to clean. However, because they evaporate quickly, one application may not be enough.
• As for silicone-based ones, they do not dry out as easily and their absorption level is lower than the previous ones, so you will not need to reapply them several times during sex. Because they last longer, they are recommended for anal sex, an area that does not produce natural lubrication.

When can I use an intimate lubricant?

There are many times when you can use one. Here are a few examples:

• During vaginal sex to make penetration smoother.
• For anal sex to help prevent the experience from being painful.
• For oral sex, mainly with flavoured lubricants to add more pleasure.
• To enjoy cooling and warming sensations during foreplay or sex.
• During masturbation to enjoy that intimate moment to the fullest.
