Lube Is for Everyone: The Easiest, Cheapest Sexual Pleasure Upgrade | Sexuality Education

Is lube only for dryness? Absolutely not. In this episode of Please Me! Podcast with Eve, host Eve Hall explores sexuality, sexual health, and sexual pleasure with physical therapist and LavaLube founder Kristen Damery. They discuss why sexual lubricant belongs in everyone's bedroom and how the right lube can enhance pleasure, reduce friction, support safer sex, and make solo and partnered intimacy more comfortable.

Lube isn't just for vaginal dryness or sexual dysfunction. Sexual lubricants can enhance sensation, increase comfort, reduce friction and the risk of irritation and micro-tears, and make many types of sexual activity more enjoyable. Eve and Kristen break down the different types of lube—including water-based, silicone-based, oil-based, and hybrid lubricants—and explain how to choose the right lubricant for condoms, sex toys, vaginal sex, anal sex, postpartum changes, perimenopause, and menopause.
