How to Use Lube

Video Transcript

Hi, I am Dr. Taylor Nolan. I'm a licensed psychotherapist and a certified sexologist. I'm here to answer questions submitted by the plusOne community.

This question is how to use lube. Use lube for every and any kind of intimate play, whether it's with toys or with partnered play, or with solo play.

I always recommend using lube to enhance the erotic and sensual experience. A lot of the times people don't use lube because they think it's going to ruin the vibe, right?

But introduce lube through massage so that it becomes erotic and sensual, and provides a bit of anticipation up to the toy or the partnered play.

This is plusOne's hydro lube. It's a travel size, so it's perfect for keeping on hand during play for reapplication. You don't just wanna put the lube on once, and then you're done and you're good for the whole play. You want to reapply it throughout and just do it with that massage.

So follow along to see what questions I answer next.
