ID Sensation Warming Liquid Lubricant (64ml)

For those who have enjoyed or are interested in experimenting with heat based lubricants, the decision to use these products with dry or sensitive skin is a tough one. ID Sensation Warming Liquid Lubricant is designed not only to warm your skin but is recommended for use alongside an additional water-based lubricant. What this means is that ID won’t dry out your skin if the correct amount is used (an amount about the size of a ten pence piece). Remember, women’s genitals are more sensitive than men’s so use this type of lubricant sparely to avoid any vaginal irritation or dryness after play.

Some final top tips on choosing lubrication for sensitive skin

  • Avoid products that contain propylene glycol or chlorhexidine, which can cause irritation in some women.
  • Avoid lubricants which include alcohol based components which can dry out skin
  • Be careful when choosing an oil based lubricant. Though these lubricants can keep you moisturised, they are often better left for use in the shower as they don’t deteriorate when submersed. What’s more, this type of lubricant can and does usually contain more chemical properties than water-based lubricants which is definitely something to be aware of when trying out this particular kind. Most experts concur that these lubricants are more suited to male than female use.
  • Always check the ingredients on the bottle or description of your lubricant. Even if you don’t plan on ingesting any lubricants, they could still contain additives which are potentially irritable to your very sensitive genital area.
