The Ins and Outs of Applying Lubricant!
Dear Condomania,
I recently purchased a bottle of Astroglide from you guys. I had a questions about the product and using it with a condom. It states on the package that you can apply the lubricant to the inner and outer surfaces of the condom. Does this mean, applying a few drops to the inside and more to the out or do you apply the same amount to both the inside and outside of the condom. What benefits does this have in protecting me during sex?
Thanks you for everything,
The other Lucy.
Dear Lucy,
There reason people add lubricant to condoms is to help in reducing the friction caused by sexual intercourse. It also helps in making the condom feel more sensitive. Apply lubricant to the inside of a condom does the same, and a little more. When a person adds lubrication to the inside of a condom, it helps in creating a "water seal" of a type. A few drops of lubricant put on the head of the penis before you roll the condom on, will help you see and hopefully expel any pockets of air that could cause the condom to break.
So not only does lubricant add sensitivity to the sexual act, it also helps in protecting you and the condom from damage.
