Personal lubricants have become an essential part of modern intimate wellness. Still, many myths and misconceptions keep people from using them or lead to poor choices that result in discomfort and frustration.
Here are the top 5 myths about lubricants that you definitely shouldn’t believe – especially if you want to enhance your intimate health, pleasure, and connection.
Myth 1: "Lubricants are only for when something’s wrong"
Truth: Lubricants aren’t just problem-solvers – they’re pleasure enhancers.
Even when everything feels "naturally fine," adding a quality lubricant can boost glide, make intimacy smoother, and unlock new levels of sensation. Lubricants also increase comfort when using sex toys, condoms, or when engaging in longer intimate sessions.
Myth 2: "Lubricants ruin natural sensation"
Truth: The opposite is true – a high-quality natural lubricant enhances sensation, not dulls it.
Today’s water-based lubricants, like MYLOME’s collection, are formulated to mimic the body’s natural moisture, offering comfort and an ultra-natural feel. They're also ideal for those with sensitive skin.
Myth 3: "Lubricants don’t work with condoms"
Truth: Many lubricants are completely safe to use with condoms, as long as you choose the right type.
Water-based lubricants are fully compatible with latex condoms. In contrast, silicone-based lubes can be too slippery or even damage silicone toys. Always check the packaging, or better yet, choose a trusted brand that clearly states compatibility. All MYLOME lubricants are 100% condom-friendly, so pleasure never has to turn into worry.
Myth 4: "Lubricants are only for women"
Truth: Lubricants are made for everyone – women, men, and all couples.
Use them for vaginal intimacy, anal play, sex toys, or sensual massage. Pleasure has no gender, and lubricants can enhance comfort and sensitivity for men as well, especially during solo play.
Myth 5: "All lubricants are the same"
Truth: Just like skincare, lubricants vary widely in formulation and effect.
There are different bases (water, silicone, oil) as well as variations in ingredients, scent, pH level, and sensations (warming, cooling, etc.). Many mass-market lubricants contain irritating additives, so it's always best to choose natural, dermatologically tested products – like the MYLOME range. Every MYLOME lubricant is tested for skin safety and made with natural care.
A lubricant isn’t just a “tool” – it’s an instrument of pleasure, connection, and comfort. By choosing a natural, high-quality lubricant, you’re caring not only for your sensations but also for your intimate well-being.
