Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Use more than you think, reapply without apology, and match the lube to your toy. Solo, lube makes every toy feel twice as good. Don't be stingy.
If you're shopping, start with Sliquid H2O. It's thin, silky and totally unscented, and it plays nicely with every silicone toy in your drawer.
