Using Toys

Welcome to Sex Toys .co.uk's SexToys Guide. Here you'll find many articles to help you decide what toy or toys to buy, and how to use and look after them.

Lubrication Explained

Lubrication or lube as its commonly known is designed to make sex or masturbation easier, safer and more pleasant. There is a whole range of lubricants on the market and which one you use should depend on the use and whether you are using toys with it or not. Some materials react badly to some lubricants so it is wise to make sure when buying a lube that it fits your requirements.

Water Based
Water based lube is one of the main sellers, due to the fact it is safe to use for most toys. It’s available in flavoured or unflavoured varieties, the flavoured ones normally being sweet but often slightly sticky. Water based lube doesn’t stain, is non-reactive to all materials and rarely causes skin irritation. However, if you do experience a burning, stinging or painful sensation when you use it, stop use and make sure you rinse it off of your skin. Unfortunately water based lube can dry out quickly during a long sex session but it can be revived with a spray of water or drop of saliva. It is also safe to use with any form of birth control including condoms.

Silicone Based
Silicone lubricants are completely waterproof making them perfect for underwater activities, plus they retain there lubrication making them longer lasting than water based lubrications. Due to the long lasting and very silky feel it makes it perfect for anal sex and vaginal sex alike. Unfortunately Silicone lube cannot be used with silicone toys as it can cause the silicone body of the toy to break down, but is safe for use with a condom. A main bonus of silicone is that it is completely hypoallergenic, and used with the right toy can stop any reaction even for the most sensitive of people.
