Lubricant

Buy Lubricant at Novus Fumus

Lubricant can be a wonderful addition to intimate moments. Whether you are looking for more comfort, want to reduce friction, or increase your pleasure, at Novus Fumus you will find various lubricants. We offer you an overview of the different types and help you make the right choice.

What exactly is lubricant?

Lubricant is a liquid or gel that improves slickness and reduces friction. It provides more comfort and less discomfort during intimate activities. Natural moisture can sometimes fall short, for example due to stress, hormonal changes, or medication. Lubricant then offers a helping hand and makes movements smoother and more pleasant.

Who is lubricant for?

A common misconception is that lube is only needed as a solution for decreased natural moisture or vaginal dryness. Nothing could be further from the truth! Lubricant can easily be used for extra enjoyment and fun. Even if things are naturally wet enough, lube adds an extra dimension by making everything just a bit smoother, more intense, and more slippery. So it is for anyone who wants to make intimate moments even better. Many people therefore use it to:

• Increase slickness simply for extra enjoyment and fun.
• Make sex more comfortable, for example during anal sex.
• Make using sex toys easier and more pleasant.
• Reduce any potential intimate discomfort.

What types of lubricant are there?

There are different types of lubricants, each with their own properties. Novus Fumus primarily offers water-based and silicone-based lubricants.

Water-based lubricant

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

Silicone-based lubricant

Silicone lubricant is known for its long-lasting slickness. It dries out less quickly 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 must not use silicone lubricant with silicone toys, because it can break down this material and cause irreparable damage. We carry silicone-based lubricant in 100 ml.

Sperm-imitating lubricant

For those looking for an extra realistic and exciting experience, there is also lubricant that mimics semen in color, texture, and feel. A popular example of this in our assortment is the Real Fake Sperm by Creamy.

Flavored lubricant

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

Natural lubricant

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

Anal lubricant

Although there is no separate 'anal lubricant' in our assortment, water- and silicone-based lubricants are generally suitable for anal use. For anal sex, it is important to use plenty of lube for comfort and safety, with silicone lubricant often being preferred due to its long-lasting slickness.

Comparing lubricants: water-based or silicone-based?

To help you choose, we have listed the main differences between water-based and silicone-based lubricants for you:

• Composition: Water-based lubricant is based on water (often with glycerin), 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 lubricant is completely safe. Silicone-based lubricant is not safe; never use silicone lube with silicone toys, as this will damage the material.
• Durability: Water-based dries up faster and sometimes needs to be reapplied. Silicone-based is very long-lasting and doesn't dry out quickly.
• Cleaning: A water-based lube is easily washable with water. Silicone-based is harder to wash off and can sometimes leave a film.
• Suitable for water: Water-based rinses off quickly and is therefore less suitable for the shower or bath. Silicone-based is water-resistant and highly suitable for this.

How do you choose the right lubricant?

Choosing the right lube depends on your personal preferences and the intended use. What to look out for when buying lubricant:

• For what type of sex? For vaginal sex, water-based is a versatile choice. For anal sex or long-lasting slickness, silicone lube might be a better fit.
• With condoms? Both water and silicone lubricants are safe with latex condoms.
• With sex toys? Always use water-based lubricant with silicone sex toys. For other materials (such as glass, metal), both types can be used. Check out our sex toy collection.
• Personal preference: Some people love the convenience of water-based, others the long-lasting glide of silicone. Consider trying both to see what you like best.

Always read the packaging of the lubricant for specific product information and instructions for use.

How much lubricant should I use?

The amount of lube you need is very personal and can vary. Start with a small amount, for instance, a drop the size of a small coin. Rub it in gently and wait a moment for it to warm up and spread. Add more if you notice the slickness decreasing or if you want extra comfort.

Using lubricant responsibly

For a safe and enjoyable experience, it is important to handle lubricant responsibly. Store your lube in a cool, dark place and always check the expiration date. If you experience any irritation, stop using the product immediately. Lubricant is meant to enhance the experience, not to cause discomfort.
