Are Durex massage gels safe to use with condoms?
Not all lubricants and massage gels are suitable for use with every type of condom. For this reason, it is important to read the product label carefully before use. A lubricant may be compatible with certain condom materials but unsuitable for others, and incorrect use can compromise protection. Remember - compatibility with some condoms does not mean compatibility with all condoms, so you should also check the information and instructions.
As an example, Durex Play Stimulating 2-in-1 Massage Gel is only suitable to use with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms, meaning you should avoid using it with any polyurethane, synthetic resin, or lambskin condoms, while Durex Play Sensual 2-in-1 Massage Gel is compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms.
Can I use Durex lube with sex toys?
You can generally use Durex lube with sex toys, but there are some exceptions (and things to pay attention to). As a general rule, you can use Durex water-based lube with all sex toys – but you should still refer to the toy label (most sex toys are safe to use with Durex lubricants).
Silicone-based and hybrid lubes are usually compatible with all sex toys, except for silicone sex toys (as the two types of silicone can react). More often than not, the reaction isn’t dangerous to anything but the toy – which will show surface swelling or flaking.
In rare cases, the reaction may cause irritation or rashes, which could leave you feeling itchy or sore. The symptoms won’t last forever, but they can make you feel uncomfortable for a day or two.
Massage oils, body lotions, and Vaseline may or may not be compatible with your toy. You should always check the toy label, and only use it with the lubricants indicated. If there is no specification, you can generally use any type of lube.
Are Durex flavoured lubes safe for sex?
Yes, Durex’s flavoured lube is safe for all types of sex. Because Durex only makes water-based flavoured lube, this type of intimate lubricant is safe to use with all types of condoms and sex toys, too.
The main concerns regarding flavoured lubes as being unsafe for sex are related to the fact that some manufacturers use sugars to sweeten the product. While the sweet taste can make oral sex more pleasurable, especially when you’re using a natural rubber latex condom, there is an understandable concern that sugars can cause yeast or bacterial problems. However, Durex does not use sugars or sweeteners in their flavoured lubes, making Durex lubricants safe for oral, vaginal, and anal sex.
Using Durex lube to enhance sex
While some people require a little extra lubrication to enjoy sex, lube is not just something you need to use - and it can actually help to enhance sex:
- Make sex less boring with lots of lube and sensation condoms: routine in bed can threaten even the most solid relationship, but you can bring excitement back between the sheets with textured condoms and additional lubricant. You can pick from dotted condoms to stimulate her or ribbed and dotted condoms designed to stimulate both partners, and a little extra slipperiness can lead to a lot of extra fun.
- Lube can make foreplay more satisfying: whilst the vagina lubricates itself, using lube can increase pleasure during foreplay. Add a few drops onto the clitoris or head of the penis before stimulating your partner manually.
- Lube can enhance solo play: sex goes beyond fun with your partner. Masturbation can help you find out what you truly like. Knowing your body and telling your partner what stimulates you can maximise pleasure for both partners, and lube can add sensuality to your solo play – whether you’re using your hands, fingers, or a sex toy.
- Flavoured lube can enhance oral sex: some people avoid oral sex because they don’t like the taste of latex, or believe that tasting their partner “down there” is distasteful. In both cases, flavoured lube can add sweetness to oral sex and make it more pleasurable for the giving partner.
- Tingling lube can replace sensation condoms: sensation condoms (condoms with warming or cooling effects), as well as textured condoms, are generally available in regular sizes only. If you wear a small or large size condom, you can get that same enhanced sensation from Durex Tingling lube. This type of cooling effect gel is excellent if you want to spice up your sex life with something new.
- Lube can make anal sex more pleasurable: because the anus isn’t self-lubricating, it is recommended to use plenty of silicone-based lube to enhance glide and reduce pain during penetration.
- Intimate lube can be used in more ways than one: Durex lube is intended to be used to facilitate intercourse, but you can also use it instead of a massage gel to help relax your partner before getting down to business.
