Lube is one of the best ways to enhance your sex life - whether you or your partner suffers from vaginal dryness or not, whether you use it for solo sex, or fun for two. Lube can enhance your sensation, promote relaxation and protect your skin from injury and too much friction. CBD, on the other hand, helps you relax and let go. So the combination of both – the CBD lube – is the absolute gamechanger for your bed. 

CBD during sex?

People who use cannabis have sex 20% more often than those who do not use marijuana. At the same time, a study in the journal Sexual Medicine shows that cannabis use helps women enjoy sex more – they are more aroused, more pleasurable and report more satisfaction and better orgasms. 

What does lube do and what should I know about it?

Lube is the best way to make sex as smooth as possible. Lubricants reduce friction and thus protect against injuries, such as micro-tears, and infections. But most importantly, they increase the fun factor. 

Water-based lubricants are super versatile. They can be used during sex, in combination with toys, and most importantly with all kinds of condoms. Since they are especially moisturising, they are great for sensitive skin. They also do not stain. 

Silicone-based lubricants, on the other hand, last longer than water- or oil-based lubricants because they are thicker and do not absorb as quickly. They are ideal for use in water – get in the bath or shower, now! Silicone-based lubricants are especially good for anal sex because they are extra smooth. Note: Not all silicone-based and very few oil-based lubricants can be used with condoms and silicone toys.

You should also avoid lubricants with alcohols. In the long term, they can dry you out and cause irritation.

What does CBD lube do?

Pain during sex? CBD lube can not only be relaxing, but also pain relieving, anti-inflammatory and anti-cramping. CBD helps to relax your muscles and relieve tension. At the same time, the substance helps to balance stress – so you can let yourself go even more easily in the future. 

CBD lubricant is absorbed by the body directly through the mucous membranes, i.e. directly where it is needed. It has a dilating effect on the blood vessels and thus promotes blood circulation. This way, CBD lubricants work as sensual enhancers. In practical terms, this feeling is expressed in a light and pleasant tingling sensation. Your sensation is enhanced and you experience longer and more intense orgasms - all without getting high. Because CBD does not have any intoxicating effect.

Three CBD lubricant tips:
