Many women associate a stigma with using personal lubricant and post-menopausal ladies. We are here to get that rid of that notion and show you how all women can benefit greatly from using lube. In this article, we can talk about all the exciting ways to use lube as a woman and how to apply lubricants for females.
If you are still stuck with this stigma, you are actually doing a disservice to your own sex-life, Lubricant can be used to combat many medical-related reasonings of dryness as well as stress and many other multiple factors. Are you looking to do a bit of anal pleasure? Then Lube is a must!
Women's bodies are complex, to say the least, your personal dryness may in fact have nothing to do with your hormonal levels for menopause and can be attributed to various factors such as-
Lubrication does just need to be used to treat symptoms, in fact using personal lubricant with every sexual activity! Lube can be used to enhance your sex life in a bunch of great ways, here are a few-
As you can see there are so many reasons to use personal lube, but what is the best type of lube?
When deciding on the best type of lube, water-based lube should be at the top of your list! For starters, water-based lube is totally safe for use with all types of condoms and all materials of sex toys. In addition, water-based lubricants are significantly gentler on sensitive skin. If all that wasn't enough, it also will not stain your clothing or sheets.
Silicone-Based Lube is another popular type of condom, it is safe for use with condoms and super slippery... and that's pretty much all that there is to say positive about silicone lube...
The cons of silicone lube are plentiful, here are some of the most notable cons. It is not sex toy compatible, if you use silicone lube on silicone sex it will actually damage the toy! Silicone-based lube also will stain your clothes and sheets as well as be noticeably more difficult to clean than water-based lube. If that wasn't enough to deter you from using silicone, let us also add that it can have irritating effects on sensitive skin and whether or not you have a reaction is simply a roll of the dice.
Lastly, we will discuss Oil-based lube, this lube is slipperier than water-based lube and also lasts longer than water-based lube, but this type of lube also has a long list of cons.
When thinking about the cons of oil-based lubricant there is plenty to choose from. One of the largest negatives of oil-based lube is that it's incompatible with condoms. The lube will actually break down the condom making it largely ineffective. In addition to being useless with condoms, it's also known to be irritating to sensitive skin and leaves permanent stains on clothing and bedding. Oh did we mention it's also difficult to clean off?
You can never use too much lubricant, in fact, the more you use the better off you will be. You can apply the lube directly to your intimate parts if you are looking for a bit of temp play, or you can warm the lube in your hands for a warm sensation that is sure to get your motor running. There is no wrong way to use lube, just make sure that you use a lot and feel free to reapply liberally to ensure a friction-free pleasure.
Not only does a personal lubricant intensify sensations, but it can also protect you from infection and even an unplanned pregnancy. Lube reduces the friction of condoms, making them less likely to break, and it reduces microscopic tears through which STI pathogens could enter the body.

When deciding on the best type of lube, water-based lube should be at the top of your list! For starters, water-based lube is totally safe for use with all types of condoms and all materials of sex toys. In addition, water-based lubricants are significantly gentler on sensitive skin. If all that wasn't enough, it also will not stain your clothing or sheets. Our personal favorite lube is Gleam, our in house made water-based lubricant with an ultra slick feel.
While water based lube is the easiest and safest choice of them all, it’s usually the least slick and will require reapplication depending on the sex you’re having. Make sure to buy lubes that are free of glycerin (sugars), harsh chemicals, and flavorings that can cause genital (and mostly vaginal) irritation.
Silicone-Based Lube is ultra slippery and safe to use with all types of condoms. We recommend a silicone based lube for rougher sex, anal play, and when using toys that aren’t made of silicone. Silicone lube will degrade silicone toys since a reaction between the two is caused, shortening the lifetime of your toys.
Silicone based lube is also known for staining clothing or sheets, so be prepared to clean up! If you have very sensitive skin, silicone lube may be irritating - make sure to get one free of glycerin, harsh chemicals, and added flavorings or color.
Oil-based lube is perhaps by far the slickest of all the lubes, but has the most cons!
Unfortunately, Oil-based lube is not compatible latex condoms and incredibly difficult to clean from sex toys, clothing, and sheets. The oil will actually break down a condom, leaving it vulnerable to tears and accidents. Certain oil-based lubes, like coconut oil, can disrupt a vagina’s pH balance if used too often due to its antibacterial properties.
If you choose to use an oil based lube, use it for foreplay like a massage or hand jobs/fingering. If applying a condom after, make sure to rinse off thoroughly with warm water and a gentle soap.
When looking at the 3 types of lube above, it’s a no brainer that water-based lube is the safest, most universal option for all kinds of play. While it may require you use a little more, the benefits outweigh any downfalls (which are not many). Slick, clean, for sensitive skin, condom and toy safe - water based lube really does it all!

]]>Ladies, are you looking to treat yourself to a bit of fun with your backdoor? Well look no further Gleambody is here to give you all the critical information to make your anal masturbation session the best it can be. You might already know that men benefit from prostate orgasms through anal penetration by hitting the "P Spot". A little lesser known factoid is that anal masturbation for women is triggered through the "A Spot".
The A-spot, or for you biology enthusiasts known as the anterior fornix, is located deep inside the vagina, The A-Spot is actually around 5 or 6 inches in. This zone is an area filled with erotically charged nerve endings that induce orgasmic sensations very quickly! These sensations feel like intense waves of pleasure that begin deep inside your body and radiate through the rest of your body. Basically, an "A-Spot" orgasm becomes an entire bodily pleasure rather than only region-focused.
We here at Gleam have come up with some of our top tips to make the most of your pleasure session. Everyone is different and always be sure to stay within your personal comfort levels. Remember this is supposed to feel great, if you feel discomfort you should stop what you are doing and reassess your tactic.
Hygiene is so important when considering any sort of penetrative anal masturbation act. Even when playing solo, cleanliness is still of the utmost importance. No one wants to be exposed to germs. And after a long day, masturbation is a great way to destress but first here are a few tips. First to make sure that your personal hygiene is at the appropriate level, so clean and prep.
Your immediate surroundings can have a huge impact on your arousal level and general mood. Let's talk about a few things that can help set a certain amount of ambiance with a goal to create a hyper relaxed personal environment.
Listed as number three but quite possibly the most important, use lubricant. The body doesn't naturally create anal lubrication so the responsibility is completely up to you. We strongly recommend using water-based lube like our specialty product Gleam, with Omega 3 from Sea kelp, perfect for sensitive skin. The pros of water-based lube are numerous including but not limited to;
This is a marathon, not a sprint ladies! Patience is key to the best experience. Start externally, stimulate the exterior of the anus with your finger to start with, or if your sex toy has a vibration setting stimulate the rim of your anus to start the mood. The key to success is working your way up to penetration, resisting the urge to just plunge into pleasure, and really enjoying the experience building to penetration.
This goes hand in hand with taking your time, but take it a step further. Are your nipples sensitive, you get the chills from light fingertip touching. Trigger your other erogenous zones to achieve an intense climax. Nipple play is the perfect secondary erogenous zone to stimulate with a lubed up finger while enjoying an anal plug like Reverb. Don't be afraid to involve all parts of your body that you gain pleasure from, remember nobody knows your body like you!
Have you ever tried to meditate? One of the main practices of meditation is a calming focus on controlling your breathing. Practicing diaphragm breathing, can help aid in relaxation and greatly helps with pushing yourself to pleasure limits.
Not every movement needs to be an exaggerated motion, in fact, smaller movements are best when learning to discover yourself. As you gain comfort with micro-movements, you can go harder and faster... before long you will be ready for a hardcore sex-machine.
Just as every woman has some sort of preference for positions involving vaginal masturbation, anal masturbation is no different. Here are a few positions to try out.
Doggy style

Curve your fingers into a hook shape and insert them an inch to two inside the vagina. Once you feel the spongy tissue (that’s your G-spot), push your fingers up another two inches and that should be the A-spot. Experiment with different speeds and angles of movement to determine what works best for you.

Have a bit of personal time on your hands? Ditch the chemical-scented lotions and the silicone-based lubricants and treat yourself right by introducing water-based lubricants into your masturbation session. Did you know that using silicone-based lube can actually harm your beloved sex toys? Using silicone lube with a silicone dildo could degrade the surface of your toy and leave it vulnerable to bacteria accumulation and those chemical lotions can have harsh consequences on your skin. Talk about ruining the experience!
Body Lotion isn't the only game in town for a massage session. Did you know that if you use water-based lubricants for that personal message there are multiple benefits?
Water-based lubricants can enhance foreplay for any gender, sticking with a water-based formula vs silicone or latex makes it extremely friendly for sensitive skin. Heat things up with a bit of fingering or slippery Handy J on the way to O town.
Cottonmouth and oral sex, a problem that has plagued intimacy for ages. Use a water-based lube to get things flowing again! Put lube directly onto the penis at the shaft and stroke up while using your mouth on the tip to get things started.
Enhancing vaginal sex is one of the primary reasons you would buy personal lubricants. You can apply lube directly to the vagina, or you can apply it directly to a penis before insertion, to soothe any friction or irritation. It is also safe to apply to all sex toy materials.
Lubricant is a must-have for anal sex, throw away the thoughts of utilizing saliva to lubricate your anus. The anus does not have a way to naturally lubricate so it's up to you! Our philosophy with lube and anal sex is you can never use enough, apply liberally for optimum enjoyment.
Using lubricant with your sex toys probably seems like one of the most obvious uses. Lubricant and sex toys are an essential pairing. Always apply lube when using a sex toy. Just make sure you’re using a water-based lube and stay away from oil-based lube. Water based lube washes off easily from toys, sheets, and your body - oil-based lubricant does not. No more baby oil.
Everyone knows that you can apply lube to the exterior of a condom, but did you know you can put a few drops in the inside? Condoms should not detract from the sexual experience, a few drops in the condom and it remains an effective contraceptive but the pleasure will be enhanced. Oil-based lube will break down a condom completely..
Water-based lubricants are not only for intimate parts but other highly sensitive parts of the body, this can heighten your erotic experience. Certain areas like feet, neck, ears, nipples, and even the back of the arm. Stimulation of these zones can not only arouse your partner but can even lead to orgasm in some cases. Work these simultaneously for better play.
Have you ever tried ASMR? ASMR is essentially getting personal attention which triggers a reaction called "the tingles", Using lube to generate certain sounds and visuals can aid in achieving "the tingles". Use water-based lubricants to safely lube various items to achieve different sliding and gushing sounds or even apply some lube to your partner's skin and lightly blow providing a tingling cooling sensation. A must try with your favorite partner.
