Many moons ago, I remember going to the local drug store to secretly acquire some lube. Why secretly? Well, I was young and planning to try anal sex for the first time, and I surely didn’t want to explain to the pharmacist or anyone else who worked at my small-town, local drug store why I needed lubricant.

Luckily, it didn’t take long to choose as there was only one type. KY Jelly. These days, even at the drugstore, there are a variety of options in the lubricant section and I’m happy to report, I no longer skulk about if I choose to purchase my lube there.

While I am well-versed in which lubricant I need for what purpose, I realize not everyone may be as experienced as I am when it comes to pairing the right lube with their plans. 

Water Based Lube

When you think of using lube, water based lube is what probably comes to mind first. It’s the most basic lube available and literally goes with everything. You can use it with all of your sex toys and it’s compatible with latex condoms. The best ones will also be moisturizing and not leave a sticky residue, such as Wicked Sensual Care’s fragrance free Aqua.

 

If your sex toy is made of silicone, and most of them are, silicone based lubricant is not recommended. The safest bet is always water-based lubricant, as it is compatible with all your toys. Some water based lubricants don’t always have a ton of staying power, but the good news is, adding just a few drops of water reactivates the lube and you’re good to go!

 

Pros of Water Based Lube:

 

  • It doesn’t stain your sheets
  • Washes off easily in water
  • Compatible with sex toys/condoms

 

Cons of Water Based Lube:

 

  • May not be thick enough/long-lasting enough for anal/long sex sessions.

  • Some people find it to be too sticky.

SILICONE LUBE

If you have sensitive skin or you really enjoy having sex in the shower, silicone lube is a great option for you. One of the pros of water based lube is that it washes away easily with water, but that’s a con if you’re having a good time in the bath or shower–but with silicone lube, like Wicked’s Ultra Silicone, that’s not a problem.

 

It stays put and has the added bonus of leaving your skin feeling pretty amazing. It’s also compatible with latex condoms. It is not, however, compatible with your silicone sex toys, as it can erode them and cause damage, leaving them susceptible to bacteria, which is never a good thing.

 

Silicone lube is also fantastic for anal play, but remember, if you’re going to be incorporating a toy, be sure it’s not a silicone one or cover it with a condom just to be on the safe side.

 

Pros of Silicone Lube:

 

  • Good for sensitive skin
  • Long lasting
  • Made with high quality ingredients
  • Safe to use with most condoms

 

Cons of silicone lube:

 

  • Not safe to use with most silicone sex toys

HYBRID LUBE

Is there an in-between? If you really like the pros of water based lubes but also want some staying power of silicone lubes–but you want to be able to use it with your silicone toys, then hybrid lube is going to be your new best friend. It’s really the best of both worlds. You can use it with toys, condoms, in the shower, the tub, for anal, not have to worry about reapplying very often, and for the most part it doesn’t stain. If you want a longer lasting lubricant that’s safe for your silicone toys, a hybrid lubricant is a great choice. Wicked has two outstanding choices, their standard Hybrid, plus simply timeless Hybrid with DHEA for a more moisturizing choice.

 

Hybrid lubricants are water and silicone based, but still safe for toys. They’re thicker, thanks to the silicone part in the lube, and stay in place a lot longer than strictly water based lubes. 

 

Pros of Hybrid Lube:

 

  • Best of both worlds (all the pros of water and silicone based lubes)
  • Safe for use with all your sex toys
  • Safe for use with latex condoms
  • Long lasting (washes off easier in water than regular silicone lube, but not as easy as regular water based lube)

 

Cons of Hybrid Lube:

 

  • Not quite as long lasting as straight silicone lube

  • Doesn’t wash off as easily as water based lube

 

There are also specialty lubricants on the market that can make masturbation, toy play, and sex a lot more interesting. Wicked Sensual Care has a number of items to make sexy time more fun, with hot and cold play (Heat and Chill)  and flavored lubricant for oral. Using lube every time you have sex can make things slicker, more fun, and just plain sexier. Something I learned only a few years ago when I got into sex education was using lube more frequently while giving oral (and receiving!) can be so fun and make things go down a lot easier. Pun fully intended.

LUBE FOR MASTURBATION

Using lube when you’re masturbating is also fantastic, whether you’re incorporating toys into your play or not. Wetter is always better and when you’re engaging in solo play, why not romance yourself? The stress of the day can cause vaginal dryness, but that doesn’t mean you’re not turned on, so adding lubricant can aid in bringing you pleasure instead of focusing on anxiety about whether you’re really in the mood or not.

BEST LUBE FOR PENISES

Don’t have a vagina/vulva? Then you’re probably already incorporating something wet when you’re masturbating and not thinking twice about it, aren’t you? I highly recommend switching to lube if that’s not what you’re already using, you’ll notice a difference, I promise.

 

There are many reasons why our bodies may not produce enough natural lubrication. Let’s do away with the idea that just because we aren’t wet doesn’t mean we aren’t sexually excited, because that simply may not be the case. Certain medications, stress, and illness can all lead to lack of lubrication–all things that using lube can easily correct.

 

When it’s all said and done, don’t forget to take care of your toys, they’re taking good care of you! Wicked Sensual Care has you covered there, too. While antibacterial soap and warm water is always the best option for cleaning up when sexy time is over, using a high quality toy cleaner like Foam and Fresh in the interim will help keep your toys shiny and new--and provide a quick clean-up until you’re able to get them to the bath. 

DEMETER DELUNE'S GUIDE TO LUBE AND SEX TOYS

Using lubricant and sex toys is nothing to be ashamed of. Feeling good and being comfortable while doing it should never be anything to feel ashamed about, and knowing which products are right for your body, your toys, and what you’re getting into is the best way to enjoy your time.

  • Learn how to create a sensual massage experience at home with beginner-friendly techniques, mood-setting tips, and the right massage oils

  • Explore Wicked Sensual Care’s massage oils designed to enhance intimacy while keeping skin nourished and touch irresistible

  • Discover how to transition from massage to intimacy safely, with clean, body-safe lubes and essential toy hygiene practices for a seamless experience

Why Massage Is the Ultimate Turn-On (and How to Get Started)

Ever had one of those days where stress and tension seem to steal all your energy for intimacy? You’re not alone—and that’s exactly why sensual massage can be such a game-changer. Massage is more than just a relaxing treat; it’s a powerful way to build trust, deepen intimacy, and awaken the senses in a way that feels natural and unrushed.

In fact, research from the Touch Research Institute (Field, 2014) shows that massage not only lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) but also increases oxytocin, the "bonding hormone." Translation? Massage can literally help you feel closer and more connected—both emotionally and physically.

If you’ve never done a sensual massage before (or feel a little awkward about it), don’t worry. We’re breaking down exactly how to create a steamy, relaxing massage experience at home, with beginner-friendly tips and the best Wicked Sensual Care products to help you get started.

Step 1: Set the Scene

 

Before you even touch your partner, the environment matters. The goal is to create a setting that feels cozy, inviting, and free of distractions.

Here’s your easy setup guide:

  • Dim the lights or light a few candles for a soft, flattering glow.

  • Play some low-key music—think instrumental, chill vibes, or your favorite romantic playlist.

  • Warm the room. No one wants goosebumps during a massage.

  • Lay out towels or a soft blanket to protect the sheets and create a comfy surface.

💡 Pro tip: Have everything within reach—your massage oil, extra pillows, a towel to wipe off excess oil, and (if you're adding extra heat) a warm compress.

 

Step 2: Choose the Right Massage Oil

 

Not all massage oils are created equal—especially when you want the experience to be as sensual as it is relaxing. Wicked Sensual Care’s line of sensual massage oils is made with nourishing, spa-quality  ingredients that hydrate skin without leaving a greasy mess.

Top choices:

👉 Beginner tip: Warm a little oil between your palms before you touch your partner’s skin—it feels so much better than cold!

Step 3: Start Slow and Keep It Simple

 

You don’t need fancy techniques to give a great massage—especially if your goal is intimacy, not a professional-grade deep tissue session.

Here’s a simple roadmap to follow:

  1. Glide: Start with broad, sweeping strokes along the back, shoulders, and legs. Apply firm but gentle pressure.

  2. Knead: Use your thumbs and palms to gently knead any tense spots (shoulders, lower back, and thighs are common areas of tension).

  3. Feather: Light, teasing touches with your fingertips keep things sensual and can be a great transition to more intimate contact.

💡 Hot tip: Pay attention to your partner’s breathing and body language. If they sigh or lean into your touch, you’re doing it right. If they tense up, ease off and check in.

 

Step 4: Don’t Forget Sensual Lube

 

If your massage starts to naturally transition into more intimate territory (yay!), you’ll want to be ready. Massage oils are amazing for skin, but they aren’t compatible with internal play unless they're specifically designed for it.

That’s where Wicked Sensual Care’s lubricants come in. For a seamless transition:

  • simply® Aqua: A clean, water-based lube that’s safe for all kinds of play—whether it’s with your partner or toys.
  • simply® Hybrid: Combines water and silicone for a longer-lasting, silky feel.
  • Aqua Salted Caramel or Aqua Vanilla Bean: If you want to keep things playful (and maybe add a little oral fun!), these flavored lubes are delicious and body-safe.

👉 Note: Always swap out massage oil for lube if you’re moving to genital play.

How to Make It an Ongoing Ritual

Sensual massage isn’t a one-time thing—it can become a beautiful part of your regular intimacy routine. Here are a few ways to keep it fresh:

  • Surprise massages: Show up with oil and offer an impromptu rubdown after a long day.
  • Massage exchanges: Take turns being the giver and receiver—it keeps things balanced and fun.
  • Themed nights: Mix things up with different oils (try a “spicy” night with Lemongrass + Ginger or a calming night with Lavender + Rosemary).

 

Common Beginner Questions

Do I need to be a pro at massage?
 Not at all. In fact, being present and attentive is way more important than technique. Slow, mindful touch is the magic ingredient.

 

What if I’m nervous about doing it wrong?
 Start by asking your partner what feels good—and keep asking as you go. You’ll learn their preferences in no time.

 

Can I use massage oil as lube?
 Nope—unless it's a dual-purpose formula (like Wicked Sensual Care’s Ultra Silicone collection), stick to massage oils for the skin and lubricants for intimate play.

 

More Touch, More Connection with Sexy Massage

Whether it’s to relax, reconnect, or spice things up, sensual massage is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to build intimacy at home. You don’t need any special skills—just the right attitude, a little patience, and high-quality products.

With Wicked Sensual Care’s sensual massage oils, lubricants like simply® Aqua, and must-have hygiene essentials like the Cleene Antibacterial Toy Spray, you have everything you need to create a sensual, safe, and satisfying experience.

So set the mood, warm your hands, and dive into a world of pleasure, relaxation, and connection.

Key Takeaways:

  • Explore the best lubricants for solo and manual play, including warming creams and moisturizing formulas

  • Learn how water-based, silicone, hybrid, and cream lubricants enhance comfort and pleasure during solo sessions

  • Find top-rated lubes designed specifically for sex toys like vibrators, strokers, and Fleshlights

 

If you’re not using personal lubricant when you’re indulging in some solo time or playing with your favorite toys, you’re missing out. The right lube can increase your pleasure, making everything feel smoother, slicker, and even more intense. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the best lube for masturbation or toys?

Let’s break it down and find the perfect match for your needs—whether you want something warming, cooling, extra slick, or designed specifically for your favorite vibrator or masturbation sleeve (like a Fleshlight).

Why Lube Matters for Solo Play and Toys

Masturbation should feel amazing every time, and a high-quality personal lubricant enhances the experience by reducing friction and adding extra glide. But not all lubes are great for all purposes—some are better suited for different sensations, toy materials, and body parts.

That’s why it’s crucial to know which formulas work best for your specific playstyle and preferences.

 

 

The Different Types of Lubes (and When to Use Them)

There are three main types of lube: water-based, silicone-based, and hybrid. Each has its pros and cons, depending on what you’re using it for.

Water-Based Lubricants

Water-based lubes are the most versatile and safe for use with all sex toys. They provide a natural feel and are easy to clean up. However, they may need to be reapplied during longer sessions.

Try: Aqua Heat – This warming lube is perfect if you want a gentle, arousing heat to enhance solo play. Since it’s water-based, it won’t damage your silicone toys and cleans up easily with water and toy cleaner.

Silicone-Based Lubricants

Silicone lubes last much longer than water-based options, making them great for extended solo play. However, they should not be used with silicone toys as they can degrade the material.

Try: Ultra Chill – This cooling silicone lube adds an exciting chill to your experience while providing ultra-smooth, long-lasting glide. It’s excellent for manual play but should be avoided with silicone-based toys.

Hybrid Lubricants

A mix of water-based and silicone, hybrid lubes offer the best of both worlds—longer-lasting slickness without the full stickiness of silicone alone. They are often compatible with most toys but always check the label.

Try: simply® timeless™ Hybrid + DHEA – This extra-moisturizing formula combines the versatility of water-based lube with long-lasting silicone.

Oil-Based and Cream Lubricants

These are not suitable for use with latex condoms but are fantastic for skin-on-skin contact and manual masturbation.

Try: Creme Masturbation Cream – This rich, silky formula is specifically designed for penises, providing an incredibly smooth, non-sticky feel. It’s excellent for manual stroking but not recommended for toy use.

Manual Masturbation: Hands-On Pleasure for All Bodies

Using your hands for masturbation can be just as satisfying as using toys, especially when paired with the right lube. For penises, a high-quality lubricant like Creme Masturbation Cream provides an ultra-smooth glide that enhances sensation while reducing friction. 

Vulva owners can enjoy external or internal stimulation with a silky water-based lube like Aqua Heat, adding a gentle warming sensation to heighten pleasure. 

For anal masturbation, it’s essential to use a thicker, longer-lasting lubricant such as a silicone-based formula like Ultra Chill to ensure maximum comfort and slickness. No matter your anatomy, the right lube can turn manual masturbation into a truly indulgent experience.

 

Best Lube for Fleshlight and Stroker Toys

Fleshlights and other realistic stroker toys require a lube that mimics natural wetness while maintaining smooth gliding action. Since these toys are typically made of soft, porous materials, choosing the right lube is essential for longevity and comfort.

Try: Toy Love – This water-based lubricant is designed specifically for sex toys, making it a fantastic choice for Fleshlights. It has a thick, luxurious texture that stays in place, preventing the lube from dripping out too quickly while keeping everything silky smooth.

Bonus Tip: Always clean your Fleshlight or stroker with a quality toy cleaner after each use to prevent bacteria buildup and extend its lifespan.

Best Lubes for Vibrators and Other Toys

If you’re using a vibrator, dildo, or other insertable toy, it’s important to choose a lube that’s toy-safe and enhances the experience rather than interfering with it.

Try:

  • Toy Love – A extra-thick water-based gel lubricant that is perfect for all types of toys.
  • Toy Heat – A warming lube designed specifically for toys, adding an arousing heat to your pleasure sessions.
  • Toy Chill – A cooling version that provides a tantalizing tingle, perfect for those who enjoy temperature play.

The Toy Love Collection of lubes are water-based, making them safe for silicone toys and easy to wash off.

 

Lubes for External Pleasure: Clitoral Stimulation & More

For those who love external stimulation, especially on the clitoris, a stimulating gel or arousal-enhancing lube can take things up a notch.

Try: Awaken Clitoral Stimulation Gel – This unique formula is designed to heighten sensitivity, making every touch and vibration feel more intense. It’s perfect for solo play or partnered fun when you want to amplify pleasure.

Menopause is a transformative time in life. And let’s be real: it can also bring challenges, especially when it comes to intimacy. Vaginal dryness, discomfort, and changes in sensitivity are common, yet rarely talked about. If you’re feeling frustrated or even a little lost, you’re not alone.

The good news? The right lubricant can make all the difference. A quality lube isn’t just about treating a symptom; it’s about enhancing pleasure, restoring confidence, and deepening your connection with yourself or your partner. In fact, it is possible to cultivate an even richer intimate life during this rite of passage.

To help you navigate the options, we’ve consulted trusted experts, including sex educator and Wicked Sensual Care brand strategist jessica drake, and senior sex educator Joan Price. Their insights, combined with our in-depth look at top-rated menopause-friendly lubricants, will help you choose the perfect solution for your body’s evolving needs.

Understanding Vaginal Dryness in Menopause

Menopause often leads to a decline in estrogen, which can cause vaginal tissues to become thinner, drier, and less elastic. This can make intimacy uncomfortable, even painful. The solution? Hydration and lubrication.

While hormone therapy is an option for some, not everyone wants or can use it. That’s where high-quality lubricants come in—providing instant relief and enhancing pleasure without the need for hormones. The key is finding one that works with your body’s chemistry and your lifestyle.

 

Types of Lubricants: What Works Best for Menopause?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to lubricants, and different situations call for different formulas. Here’s a breakdown of the most effective types for menopause:

 

Water-Based Lubricants

✔ Easy to clean 

✔ Compatible with all toys and condoms 

✔ Feels light and natural

Water-based lubricants, like Wicked Sensual Care’s simply® timeless™ Aqua, provide a silky glide without any sticky residue. They’re ideal for everyday use, vaginal sex, and toy play. However, they may need reapplication during longer sessions.

Expert Tip: “Hydration is essential during menopause—not just for your skin, but for intimacy too. A water-based lube like simply® timeless™ Aqua offers refreshing moisture without disrupting your body’s balance.” — jessica drake

Hybrid Lubricants (Water + Silicone)

✔ Perfect for water play (shower, bath, pool) 

✔ Provides a luxurious, velvety glide

Silicone lubricants, such as simply® timeless™ Silicone, are ideal for extended intimacy, particularly if reapplication is a concern. Since they don’t absorb into the skin, they provide lasting moisture and glide without needing frequent touch-ups.

Pro Tip: Silicone-based lubes are great for water activities, as they won’t wash away easily. If shower intimacy is part of your routine, this is your best bet!

Expert Insight: Joan Price recommends using a thicker lube for anal play or intense toy use, as it provides added comfort and reduces friction.

How to Choose the Best Lube for You

When selecting the best lubricant for menopause, consider the following:

✔ Your Activities: Vaginal intercourse? Toy play? Anal exploration? Each may require a slightly different formula. 

✔ Duration: Longer sessions benefit from silicone or hybrid lubricants, while shorter ones work well with water-based options. 

✔ Daily Moisturizing Needs: If you experience dryness even outside of intimacy, a hybrid lube with added hydration can provide daily comfort. 

✔ Ingredient Preferences: If you have sensitive skin, opt for pH-balanced formulas free of glycerin, parabens, and propylene glycol—like the simply® timeless™ collection.

 

Application Tips for Maximum Comfort & Pleasure

Applying lubricant correctly can elevate your experience and ensure maximum comfort. Here’s how:

1⃣ Warm It Up: Cold lube can be a mood-killer! Dispense a small amount into your hands and rub together before applying. 

2⃣ Apply Generously: Don’t skimp—especially if you’re experiencing dryness. Apply inside and out for the best results. 

3⃣ Reapply As Needed: Water-based lubricants may require additional application. Keep some nearby to enhance the moment without interruption. 

4⃣ Post-Intimacy Care: If you’re using silicone lube, wash it off with mild soap and warm water afterward.

Pro Tip: “Think of lube like skincare—regular use can make intimacy more enjoyable and comfortable over time.” — jessica drake

 

Addressing Common Concerns About Lube

💬 Will using lube feel unnatural? Not at all! In fact, many people find that a high-quality lube enhances sensations and makes intimacy more enjoyable.

💬 Do I need to tell my partner? Absolutely! Open communication about pleasure and comfort can improve your intimate connection. Many partners appreciate the enhanced glide and comfort as well.

💬 How do I introduce lube into my routine? Start by experimenting solo to find the right formula. Once you’re comfortable, introduce it to partnered play.

 

Embrace Menopause with Confidence with Lubricants

Menopause is often framed as a "women’s issue," but the reality is much more complex. Many non-binary and trans people experience menopause too—but unfortunately, resources and support systems often fail to acknowledge their unique experiences.

The language, aesthetics, and treatment options surrounding menopause are overwhelmingly cisgender-focused, leaving many gender-diverse individuals feeling invisible or alienated.

 

If you’re a non-binary or trans person navigating menopause, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about what menopause looks like outside the gender binary, common challenges, and ways to ease symptoms—plus some fantastic products from Wicked Sensual Care’s simply® timeless™ collection designed to help with menopause-related discomfort.

 

Understanding Menopause Beyond the Binary

Menopause occurs when someone with a uterus and ovaries stops having menstrual cycles for 12 consecutive months. It typically happens between ages 45-55, but can also occur earlier due to surgery, medical treatments, or hormone therapy.

 

Menopause when Non-Binary or Trans

Trans and non-binary people experience menopause differently based on their anatomy, hormone use, and medical history.

  • Trans men and non-binary people AFAB (assigned female at birth) who take testosterone may experience menopause symptoms as their estrogen levels decline. Others might experience it after stopping testosterone, aging, or having their ovaries surgically removed.
  • Trans women and non-binary people AMAB (assigned male at birth) don’t experience menopause in the same way, but if they take estrogen and stop, they may develop menopause-like symptoms due to hormonal fluctuations.
  • People on low-dose or microdose HRT may experience a blend of symptoms from both sides, as their hormone levels fluctuate more subtly.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About MenopauseYet, most healthcare providers and menopause resources fail to acknowledge these diverse experiences. As Queer Menopause highlights, menopause amplifies existing challenges—including gender dysphoria, lack of inclusive healthcare, and increased body discomfort.

 

Common Challenges for Trans & Non-Binary People in Menopause

1. Gender Dysphoria & Body Changes

For many, menopause brings changes that feel out of alignment with their gender identity.

  • Weight redistribution can emphasize curves in ways that feel dysphoric.
  • Skin and hair changes (like thinning hair or increased facial hair) may bring distress.
  • Loss of libido or changes in sexual function can feel like a loss of self.
  • Genital atrophy, dryness, or discomfort can be distressing both physically and emotionally.

Some people find that these changes affirm their gender identity—for example, the natural drop in estrogen during menopause may lead to slightly more androgenic features, which can be affirming for some transmasculine and non-binary people. Others find the changes deeply uncomfortable, leading to increased dysphoria.

 

2. Lack of Inclusive Healthcare

Finding a knowledgeable, gender-affirming provider can be tough. Many doctors still frame menopause as a "women’s issue," making trans and non-binary patients feel excluded. Additionally, hormone therapy complicates traditional menopause definitions. Many trans men report being dismissed by doctors who assume they can’t experience menopause because they’re on testosterone—yet hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings are common among those who transition hormonally.

As Dr. E. Mimi Arquilla notes in Healthline, healthcare professionals should be willing to apologize when they get things wrong, do the work to learn, and create safe environments for trans and non-binary patients. Until more providers catch up, LGBTQ+ community centers, WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health), and the GLMA directory can help you find inclusive care.

 

3. The Emotional Toll of Isolation

Mainstream menopause discourse focuses on cis women’s experiences, often alienating those who don’t identify within the gender binary. As MyMenoPlan notes, research on trans and non-binary menopause is severely lacking. Many people feel like they’re navigating this transition alone, without representation in medical studies, support groups, or even general wellness spaces.

Easing Symptoms: Tips & Product Recommendations

Menopause doesn’t have to be miserable. There are ways to manage symptoms, minimize discomfort, and take care of yourself during this transition.

For Genital Dryness & Discomfort: simply® timeless™ Aqua

One of the most common (and uncomfortable) symptoms of menopause is vaginal or front-hole dryness. This can make sex painful and cause irritation even during daily activities. Wicked Sensual Care’s simply® timeless™ Aqua lubricant is a water-based formula designed to provide extra hydration and comfort without sticky residue. It’s body-safe, pH-balanced, and free of harsh chemicals, making it an excellent choice for daily moisture or intimacy.

 

Why it’s great for trans and non-binary people:

  • Can be used externally or internally to prevent irritation.
  • Safe for use with toys and condoms.
  • Gentle enough for daily use without disrupting natural flora.

You Deserve Support & Comfort

Menopause is a major life transition, and you deserve support that acknowledges your gender identity and unique experience. You are not alone.

If you’re struggling with menopause, reach out to LGBTQ+-affirming health professionals, find online support groups, and don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself in medical settings. And most importantly, take care of your body in ways that make you feel good—whether that means using affirming products, adjusting your hormone therapy, or simply allowing yourself to rest.

Wicked Sensual Care’s simply® timeless™ collection is here to help make menopause more comfortable, no matter who you are. Because pleasure, comfort, and wellness are for everyone—always.

]]> does frequent sex reduce hot flashesMenopause is a natural phase of life that brings significant hormonal changes, often accompanied by a variety of symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. These symptoms can affect your intimacy and overall well-being, but there might be a surprising way to help alleviate them—regular sexual activity.

In this blog, we’ll explore how frequent sex can impact menopausal hot flashes, backed by scientific research and expert insights. We’ll also discuss practical solutions to enhance your intimate life during menopause, and introduce you to our simply® timeless collection, designed to provide comfort and pleasure during this time. Let’s embark on this journey together, discovering ways to keep intimacy vibrant and enjoyable.

Understanding Menopausal Hot Flashes

Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause, affecting up to 75% of women. These sudden feelings of intense warmth can be uncomfortable and disruptive, especially during intimate moments. They can last anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, often accompanied by anxiety, sweating and a red, flushed face.

What Causes Hot Flashes?

Hot flashes are primarily caused by the changing levels of estrogen in the body during menopause. These hormonal fluctuations can affect the body’s temperature regulation, leading to the characteristic warmth and sweating of a hot flash.

The Benefits of Frequent Sex During Menopause

Regular sexual activity has numerous health benefits, some of which can directly impact menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.

  • Improved Blood Flow
    • Frequent sex, including penetrative sex and masturbation, increases blood flow to the vaginal area. This improved circulation can help maintain healthy vaginal tissues, reducing discomfort and dryness.
  • Hormonal Balance
    • Engaging in regular sexual activity can help balance hormones, potentially reducing the severity and frequency of hot flashes. Orgasms release endorphins and other “feel-good” hormones that can enhance mood and overall well-being.
  • Stress Reduction
    • Sex is a natural stress reliever. Reducing stress can help manage hot flashes since stress is known to trigger or worsen them. The relaxation and emotional connection that come with intimacy can be particularly beneficial during menopause.

sex drive during menopausePractical Tips for Enhancing Intimacy During Menopause

Navigating sex during menopause requires some adjustments and open communication with your partner. Here are some tips to help you maintain a fulfilling sex life:

  1. Use Lubricants
    Vaginal dryness is common during menopause, making lubricants essential for comfortable and enjoyable sex. Wicked Sensual Care offers a range of high-quality lubricants to enhance your intimate experiences.

  2. Communicate Openly
    Talk to your partner about your needs and any discomfort you’re experiencing. Open communication can help you both navigate these changes together, strengthening your bond.

  3. Try New Positions
    Some positions may be more comfortable than others. Experiment with different positions to find what works best for you, especially those that allow you to control depth and pace.

  4. Extend Foreplay

How Can I Make Sex More Enjoyable During Menopause?

  • Lubricate: Always use a good lubricant to reduce dryness and discomfort.
  • Take Your Time: Allow more time for arousal and foreplay.
  • Find Comfortable Positions: Experiment with different positions to find what works best for you.
  • Exercise Your Pelvic Floor: Kegel exercises can help maintain vaginal strength and improve orgasms.

sex drive after menopauseThe Connection Between Sex and Hot Flashes

While the primary cause of hot flashes is hormonal changes, regular sexual activity can help mitigate some of the symptoms. A study found that people  who had sex at least once a week were 28% less likely to experience severe menopause symptoms than those who had sex less than monthly. This could be due to the increased blood flow, hormonal balance, and stress reduction associated with regular sex.

Scientific Insights

According to Mindset Health, regular penetrative sex or even masturbation can help maintain vaginal health by increasing blood flow and toning vaginal walls. Additionally, the release of endorphins and other hormones during sex can improve mood and reduce stress, further alleviating menopause symptoms.

Happy Anal August — if you’re into that sort of thing — and I sure am! In fact, in the 15-ish years I’ve been a sex educator, I’ve done so many online and in person workshops on anal sex –- from Anal 101 for beginners to way more advanced topics. Anal sex is just one of those things that stands the test of time — it’s not “trendy” like the Grapefruit trick, it’s something people are really into, or at least curious about. At the end of every anal class, I allow attendees the opportunity to ask me questions, and I’ve heard (nearly) everything. In honor of this month, I’ve curated a list of the top 3 questions I’ve received time and time again. 

 

Before we get started, I want to make a few things clear about anal sex: 

 

  1. You may be one of those people who have ZERO interest in anal sex, or you’ve tried it and it’s just not for you…and that’s OK! No need to do it solely to please your partner, but please let them know It’s not for you and suggest other things you could try together instead. Take a look over HERE. 

 

  1. All bodies are different. Although I’m often speaking from personal experience, I’m also using some universal facts and methods for enjoying anal play. Your job is to take in that info and get to know what works for you, and often that’s best accomplished by spending some solo time exploring your body. And now, my most asked anal questions, in no particular order: 

 

Q - My partner wants to try anal sex, but I’m not sure I want to. What should I do? 

A - Nothing you don’t want to do! Anal isn’t required, no matter how much your partner wants it. If you’re thinking about trying anal sex, ask yourself what turns you on about it? Some people enjoy the taboo of it, some people love the way it feels, while some people enjoy the power dynamic. Now think about what makes you reluctant to actually try it. In my experience, people are usually concerned with two main things: the possibility of it being messy or the fear of pain. 

 

The reality is, anal sex *may* be messy, no matter the type of prepping you do, so if you’re super squeamish or your partner is, anal may not be your thing. As for the pain, although anal sex is a VERY different feeling if you’re not accustomed to it, it shouldn’t hurt. Pain is our body’s way of saying to slow down or stop what we’re doing, it’s a sign that something is wrong, so if you’re experiencing pain during anal sex, it could mean you need more lube (check out our ANAL collection) or it could mean you need to go back a step or two. Perhaps a gentle “gateway” to anal play can be gentle external exploration, with lubed fingers and an agreement of no penetration. travel size lube kit

 

Also, rimming may be a good option, with a dash of your/their favorite flavored lube to turn you into an even tastier treat! Often, incorporating some light anal play with zero expectation of penetration takes the pressure off everyone involved and gives the receiver a chance to get comfortable, and time to decide if they want to go further. 

 

Q - How do I make sure anal play isn’t messy? 

A - You don’t. Even with the most thorough prepping, things can still happen, so like I said before, if this is a deal-breaker, you’ll need to stick to exterior stimulation only. That being said, there are a few options for anal hygiene: Watch your diet a few days beforehand. 

  1. Cut out fatty, sweet foods, spicy foods and red meat. Being more regular means more dependable bathroom habits, making it easier to “schedule” anal play- or at least know what times to avoid.
  2.  Have a shower and clean all external areas thoroughly with a gentle, pH balanced soap. If you want to groom or shave, do it the night before or the day before, to avoid any extra irritation.
  3. Some folks prefer to use an anal douche or an enema. A word of caution- although you can find these in your nearest drugstore, you do NOT want to use the liquid inside. That’s a saline laxative, and you definitely don’t want to be doing that right before anal.If you like the comfort of a disposable enema, just pour out the liquid inside and refill it with room temperature water. If the water is too cold, it may cause cramping, if the water is too warm, you won’t get a complete cleaning. Please follow the directions on the box- it will explain the position to put your body in during insertion and how long to keep the water inside you. Using an enema takes practice. Please don’t do it for the first time right before you think you’re ready to have anal sex.
  4. Another way to mitigate any mess that happens is to play in the shower using a good silicone lube- that way cleaning up is easier. You can also put towels down on the surface that you’re playing on. Here’s something really important- when we’re having anal sex for the first time or the tenth time, things can still get messy.

 

Bodies are bodies, meaning that they’ll do what they do when they do it. If this happens to you or your partner, please don’t make a big deal of it. Embarrassment or shame is a really common reaction in these cases, but reassure your partner or yourself that these things happen. Take a break, clean things up if you need to, and decide if you want to continue or if you want to switch things up and try something else. Anal sex is really a process, if you’re able to communicate with your partner and be flexible, it makes things so much easier. 

 

Q - What’s the best product to use to make sure anal sex doesn’t hurt? 

A - I say this time and time again: Anal sex should NOT hurt. It may be a really different sensation. There may be a lot of pressure. Things may feel tight or uncomfortable (at first) but if you’re having pain with anal sex, please just stop. Pain means something is wrong, it means your body is telling you to stop. Listening to your body is important so you’re not causing serious damage to some really delicate areas- that’s why numbing products are so dangerous. 

 

A numbing cream may help you “accomplish” anal sex, but when you aren’t able to feel what you’re doing, not only will you not know when something goes wrong, you also won’t be able to feel the amazing sensations that can come from anal play. 

ultra silicone lube

There are a few types of lube I recommend for anal sex, and they’re all a part of our anal collection:

  • My personal favorite, Ultra Silicone, is a great anal lubricant because it’s a thicker silicone that lasts and is great for shower sex.
  • Jelle (the original) is amazingjelle chill cooling anal lube because it’s a super thick water based gel anal lube that stays where you put it, gives you a cushion, and cleans up easily with water.
  • Jelle also comes in Heat or Chill, so once you’ve had some practice, you can give sensation play a try. Warming and cooling sensation lube can be a fun way to add to anal exploration and while they’re formulated for insertion, you can also use them for external play and still feel the sensations!
  • One of our newest releases is something I recommend for ALL first timers or for people who want to give up risky numbing products. Jelle Plus is a thick, water based gel anal relaxing lube enhanced with soothing aloe and vitamin E that ALSO contains ingredients (NOT NUMBING AGENTS) like clove oil and jojoba to make your anal experience more comfortable. Remember, when it comes to anal play, there’s no such thing as too much lube!

]]> Navigating through the journey of perimenopause and menopause is a unique experience for every individual. These stages bring about significant changes not only in your physiological state but also affect various aspects of personal well-being, including skin health. At Wicked Sensual Care, we understand the complexities of this transition and are dedicated to providing solutions that support and enhance your sensual well-being. Below, we’ll explore the scientific reasons behind menopause-related skin sensitivity, especially in intimate areas, and introduce you to our innovative simply® timeless™ collection designed to nurture and protect your skin.

The Impact of Hormonal Changes on Skin

The onset of perimenopause and menopause signals a significant shift in hormonal balances within the body, primarily characterized by a decrease in estrogen levels. Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and elasticity of the skin by promoting collagen production and retaining moisture.

 

  • Estrogen levels decrease during menopause, affecting skin health.
  • Lower estrogen leads to reduced collagen and moisture in the skin.
  • This hormonal change contributes to increased skin sensitivity, dryness, and thinning.

 

It’s important to understand how these hormonal adjustments actually heighten skin sensitivity in intimate regions.

The Science Behind Skin Sensitivity in Menopause

The decrease in estrogen during menopause leads to a reduction in the skin’s ability to retain moisture, making it more prone to dryness and irritation. Additionally, the thinning of the epidermis and dermis layers results in skin that is more fragile and sensitive to external factors.

 

  • A decrease in estrogen causes the skin to lose its ability to retain moisture.
  • Thinning of the skin’s layers makes it more fragile.
  • These changes result in increased sensitivity and vulnerability to irritation.

 

As we address the scientific backdrop of menopause-related skin sensitivity, it’s crucial to understand how these changes can influence your intimacy.

Menopause and Its Effects on Intimacy

The skin changes experienced during menopause can significantly affect intimacy, making physical touch uncomfortable or even painful. This can lead to a decrease in sexual desire and intimacy with partners, impacting relationships and personal well-being.

 

  • Skin sensitivity can make physical touch uncomfortable.
  • This discomfort can lead to decreased intimacy and sexual desire.
  • The impact on relationships underscores the need for sensitive skin care solutions.

 

Addressing the need for targeted skin care, we introduce the simply® timeless™ collection, crafted to support the unique needs of those navigating menopause and its surrounding stages.

Why Intimate Areas Are More Affected

The skin in and around intimate areas is particularly delicate and becomes more susceptible to sensitivity as estrogen levels decline. This sensitivity can manifest as dryness, irritation, and discomfort, posing challenges to personal intimacy and confidence.

 

  • Intimate areas have thinner, more sensitive skin.
  • Decreased estrogen exacerbates sensitivity and dryness in these regions.
  • This heightened sensitivity can impact intimacy and self-confidence.

 

Acknowledging the challenges posed by skin sensitivity, let’s explore how the simply® timeless™ collection addresses those concerns.
