Sex aids

Sex aids

Sex toys are meant to be enjoyed! A number of illnesses, medications and various life situations can also lead to problems or challenges in sexual life, and sex aids can then be of great help to many.

Lubricant

Lubricant provides increased gliding and reduced friction during intercourse. Women produce their own "lubricant" during arousal. But medication, illness, stress or changing hormone levels during pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause can lead to dry mucous membranes and the need for lubricant. For anal sex, where there is no natural "lubricant", the use of lubricant is recommended.

Dry mucous membranes can lead to pain, irritation or tearing during intercourse. Using a lubricant can contribute to a better sex life.

Different types of lubricant

Water-based lubricants

Properties: Water-based lubricants are suitable for use with latex and plastic condoms. The lubricant has a gel-like and fairly firm consistency.

Silicone-based lubricants

Properties: Silicone-based lubricant can also be used with latex and plastic condoms.

Combination lubricant

Properties: Some lubricants are combination lubricants that provide both a quick and long-lasting effect.

Oil-based

Properties: Oil-based lubricants must not be used with latex condoms because the oil can break down the latex rubber and destroy the condom. Oil-based lubricants can be difficult to wash off.
