Buy Lube at Novus Fumus

Lube can be a wonderful addition to intimate moments. Whether you're seeking more comfort, aiming to reduce friction, or looking to enhance pleasure, Novus Fumus offers a diverse range of lubricants. We provide an overview of the different types and help you make the right choice.

What Exactly is Lube?

Lube is a liquid or gel that improves slipperiness and reduces friction. It ensures greater comfort and less discomfort during intimate activities. Natural lubrication can sometimes be insufficient, for example due to stress, hormonal changes, or medication. Lube then offers a helping hand, making movements smoother and more pleasant.

Who is Lube For?

A common misconception is that lube is only necessary as a solution for reduced natural moisture or vaginal dryness. Nothing could be further from the truth! Lube can simply be used for extra enjoyment and pleasure. Even if natural lubrication is already sufficient, lube adds an extra dimension by making everything just a little smoother, more intense, and more gliding. So, it's for anyone who wants to make intimate moments even more enjoyable. Many people use it to:

• Increase slipperiness for simply extra enjoyment and pleasure.
• Make sex more comfortable, for example during anal sex.
• Make the use of sex toys easier and more pleasant.
• Reduce any intimate discomfort.

What Types of Lube Are Available?

There are various types of lubricants, each with its own characteristics. Novus Fumus primarily offers water-based and silicone-based lubes.

Water Based Lube

Water based lube is the most common type. It's easy to wash off, non-sticky, and feels natural. This type of lubricant is safe to use with latex condoms and most types of sex toys. At Novus Fumus, you'll find water based lube in various sizes, such as 100 ml, 150 ml, and 165 ml.

Silicone Lube

Silicone lubricant is known for its long-lasting slipperiness. It dries out slower than water based lube and is water-resistant, making it ideal for use in the shower or bath. Silicone lube is also safe with latex condoms. Please note: you should not use silicone lube with silicone toys, as it can degrade and irreparably damage the material. We offer silicone based lube in 100 ml.

Sperm-Mimicking Lube

For those seeking an extra realistic and exciting experience, there is also lube that mimics sperm in terms of colour, texture, and feel. A popular example of this in our range is the Real Fake Sperm by Creamy.

Flavoured Lube

For those looking for something extra, there are flavoured lubes. These are often water-based and specially developed for oral sex, adding a playful and tasty element to your intimate experience.

Natural Lube

Some lubricants are described as 'natural', which often means they contain fewer synthetic additives. They are aimed at users who prefer products with naturally sourced ingredients.

Anal Lube

Although there isn't a separate 'anal lube' in our assortment, water-based and silicone-based lubricants are generally suitable for anal use. For anal sex, it's important to use sufficient lube for comfort and safety, with silicone lube often preferred due to its long-lasting slipperiness.

Comparing Lube: Water Based vs. Silicone Based?

To help you choose, we've listed the main differences between water-based and silicone-based lubes:

• Composition: Water based lube is water-based (often with glycerine), while the silicone-based variant contains no water.
• Safe with latex condoms: Both types are safe to use in combination with latex condoms.
• Safe with silicone sex toys: Water based lube is completely safe. Silicone based lube is not safe; never use silicone lube with silicone toys, as it degrades the material.
• Durability: Water based dries out faster and may need to be reapplied. Silicone based is very long-lasting and does not dry out quickly.
• Cleaning: Water based lube is easy to wash off with water. Silicone based is harder to wash off and can sometimes leave a residue.
• Suitable for water: Water based rinses off quickly and is therefore less suitable for use in the shower or bath. Silicone based is water-resistant and very suitable for this.

How to Choose the Right Lube?

Choosing the right lube depends on your personal preferences and intended use. What to consider when buying lube:

• For what type of sex? For vaginal sex, water based is a versatile choice. For anal sex or long-lasting slipperiness, silicone lube may be a better fit.
• With condoms? Both water-based and silicone lubes are safe with latex condoms.
• With sex toys? Always use water based lube with silicone sex toys. For other materials (such as glass, metal), both types can be used. View our sex toys collection.
• Personal preference: Some people prefer the ease of water based, others the long-lasting slipperiness of silicone. Try both to see what you find comfortable.

Always read the lube packaging for specific product information and usage instructions.

How Much Lube Should I Use?

The amount of lube you need is very personal and can vary. Start with a small amount, for example, a pea-sized drop. Gently rub it in and wait a moment for it to warm up and spread. Add more if you notice it becoming less slippery or if you want extra comfort.

Responsible Use of Lube

For a safe and pleasurable experience, it's important to use lube responsibly. Store your lube in a cool, dark place and always check the expiry date. If you experience irritation, stop using the product immediately. Lube is intended to enhance the experience, not to cause discomfort.
