Lottie's Guide to Condoms and Lubes

Lottie’s Guide to Condoms and Lubes

Many people (particularly men) think of condoms as nothing more than an inconvenient and annoying (although essential!) part of their sex-related paraphernalia. But it really doesn’t have to be that way! Condoms and lube can be approached in a way which makes them an enjoyable and useful tool, rather than something which interrupts the flow of your love making. Take a look below for tips and links to my favourite brands of condoms and lubricants…

Condoms:

Many people dislike using condoms because stopping to reach for one often interrupts the passion and can even cause a temporary end to proceedings until things starts errmmm, ‘looking up’. But there are ways of making them more fun. Condoms come in many shapes and sizes and experimenting can be a really enjoyable experience!

Coloured & flavoured:

Condoms which come in different sweet flavours can add an extra dimension to blow jobs. Who wouldn’t want to suck on something that tastes like bubble gum or ice cream!? Try this Durex Select Fruity Pack, these EXS Flavoured Condoms or these EXS Bubble Gum Flavoured Condoms.

Ribs & dots:

Condoms which have ribs and dots are great for increasing sensation for both the man and the woman. Try these Durex Ribbed condoms, these EXS Smiley Face Condoms (which have a dotted texture), or this pack of assorted Skins Condoms which contain 4 dots & ribs, 4 natural, and 4 ultra-thin condoms.

Lubricants:

Adding a bit of lube to your love making can only be a good thing. As all of my male friends like to say: ‘the wetter, the better’. Attempting to make love without sufficient natural or synthetic lubrication can be uncomfortable or even down right sore for both partners, so always keep a bottle of lube in your bedside table. One word of warning; always check that your chosen lube is latex-friendly.

Flavoured lubricant:Flavoured lubes are, in my humble opinion, one of the best inventions in the world of sexy accessories. A small squirt of sweet tasting lube and you instantly turn your partner’s body into an edible delight! Try this ID Fruitopia Lubricant which comes in banana, cherry, mango, raspberry, strawberry and watermelon. Or these ID Flavoured Juicy Lubes which come in even more delicious flavours!

Massage lubricant:

If you enjoy a bit of sensual massaging as part of your foreplay then this Durex Play Massage 2 in 1 could be the ideal lube for you as it can be used both as a skin nourishing massage oil and an intimate lubricant. You could also try this Touche Ice Flavoured Massage Lubricant if you like to idea of mixing a sweet taste with a sexy massage!
