Why Every Bedroom Deserves a Great Lube
Lube isn’t just for when you need it — it’s for when you want more. More pleasure, more comfort, and a deeper sense of connection. Whether you’re flying solo, playing with a partner, or getting steamy in the shower, the right lube can completely transform the moment.
What Lube Really Does
Using lube isn’t just about slickness. It helps heighten sensation, reduce friction, and prevent irritation — especially during longer sessions or with condoms. It’s a must-have for anal play, takes toy play to the next level, and makes oral and hand stuff feel effortless.
Even if there’s natural lubrication happening, adding lube can make everything feel smoother, more intentional, and way more enjoyable.
Why You would Choose Silicone
Silicone lubricants are all about longevity. They don’t soak into the skin the way water-based lubes do, which means no stopping to reapply mid-session. They’re perfect for anything from anal play to bath or shower intimacy. And the feel? Smooth, silky, and never sticky.
Here’s why people love silicone:
-
Ultra long-lasting
-
Great for anal, vaginal, or partnered play
-
Water-resistant (perfect for shower fun)
-
Unscented and non-tacky
-
Compatible with most condoms
One standout is Wicked Simply Timeless Silicone. It's designed to elevate your experience from start to finish. It is free from parabens, glycerin, and propylene glycol.
Why Choose a Water-Based Lube?
While silicone gets a lot of love, water-based lubricants absolutely have their moment — and for good reason. They’re incredibly versatile, easy to clean up, and safe to use with all types of sex toys (including silicone ones, which don’t mix well with silicone lubes).
Water-based lubes are a go-to for many because they:
-
Mimic the body’s natural moisture
-
Are compatible with every toy material
-
Rinse off easily with just water
-
Feel light, clean, and natural
-
Are great for people who want a no-fuss option for quick, everyday use
If you're new to using lube or want something that’s simple and beginner-friendly, water-based is a solid place to start. I highly recommend Wicked Simply Timeless Aqua. Just keep in mind it may need to be reapplied during longer sessions since it absorbs into the skin more quickly.
Lube Is a Connection Tool, Too
Adding lube to your routine can actually shift the energy between you and your partner. It slows things down, adds intention, and invites more presence. It says, “I want this to feel amazing for both of us.”
Aria takes this a step further with their included Four Intimacies conversation card. These gentle prompts invite deeper connection — emotionally, verbally, physically, and even spiritually. Think of it as a sweet little nudge toward being more curious, more in tune, and more turned on together.
Spit is not Lube!
Let’s just say it — it’s time to stop using spit as a stand-in for lube. Yes, it’s “there” and it’s free, but it’s doing you zero favors when it comes to pleasure, comfort, or safety.
Spit dries up fast. It doesn’t provide lasting slip, it increases friction instead of reducing it, and it can even introduce bacteria that may irritate delicate tissue.
If you’re serious about better sex, lube is a simple upgrade that makes everything smoother (literally and figuratively). It’s like the difference between dragging a suitcase through gravel vs. gliding it on wheels — once you feel the difference, you’ll never go back.
Investing in a high-quality lube isn’t over-the-top — it’s just smart. Your body, your pleasure, and your partner all deserve more than a spit-and-hope-for-the-best situation.
The Benefits You Might Not Expect
Lube is a powerhouse tool that quietly supports a safer, more empowered sex life. Here are a few lesser-known perks:
-
Helps prevent tiny tissue tears, reducing discomfort and risk of irritation or infection
-
Takes pressure off by removing the need for "natural" lubrication
-
Offers support during hormonal changes like perimenopause, postpartum, or stress-related dryness
-
Expands possibilities — from longer sessions to toy play to exploring new sensations
-
Encourages a slower pace, removing the urgency and adding more feel-good
-
Shifts the narrative — it’s not about fixing, it’s about enhancing
It’s Time to Level Up
The right lube can completely change how intimacy feels — more ease, more closeness, more fun. All of the lubes we carry delivers all of that. Check them out HERE.
