What to do if personal lubricant dries up easily?

Jul. 18, 2023

Today, I came across a comment on a website where a user mentioned that during intimate moments with their girlfriend, they need to reapply personal lubricant after a short while. They found that an 80ml bottle of lubricant lasts less than half a month and felt that the lubricant dries up too quickly. Upon reading this comment, my immediate thought is that this user should pay more attention to their body's needs.

If the commonly used lubricant is water-based, the lubrication typically lasts between 10 to 15 minutes with the recommended usage being about the size of a one-yuan coin per application. An 80ml bottle can last around three months with normal usage. So, if this user finishes a bottle within half a month, they either have an astonishingly high frequency of intimate activities or an impressive level of stamina.

Water-based lubricants are known for their quick-drying nature, unlike oil-based or silicone-based lubricants. While their lubrication duration might not be as long, water-based lubricants are favored in the market due to their pleasant feel, easy washability, and superior safety. Oil-based and silicone-based lubricants come with certain considerations and are not as easily washable, leading to potential long-term residue in intimate areas that can cause gynecological issues. Therefore, there's no need to sacrifice safety and comfort for a slightly longer lubrication duration. Using water-based lubricants and reapplying 1 to 2 times during intimate activities should suffice.

During intimate moments, foreplay can play an essential role in enhancing the experience. For females, it often takes a little longer to get into the mood compared to males. Engaging in foreplay can help women get aroused faster, promoting natural lubrication and combining it with the lubricant for a more enjoyable sexual experience.
