Whether or not you feel comfortable using Kama Sutra Lubricants, massage oils, lotions, or warming oils at every sexual encounter, it’s savvy to have a few bottles lying around in case you need them. Most keep for a couple of years without damage; open the bottle and sniff them before using. If the bottle smells unpleasant, or if there’s any icky-looking residue, toss it. It’s better to be safe than sorry. You might also try refrigerating your lube for an icy cool treat. Just remember to warn your partner before applying anything chilly!
🏷️ Kama Sutra Lubricants - Brand Story
The lyrics ring as true today as they did in the turbulent late 1960s when war and societal rifts on every level dominated the zeitgeist. It was also the era that united youth under the flags of flower power and free love and inspired one company to act to bring people together.
That company was Kama Sutra. The purpose was passionate but simple - to be the very antithesis of discord by helping lovers create joyful experiences of intimacy. Through the giving and receiving of love, physically and emotionally healthier human beings emerge, and the world reaps the rewards. More than 45 years later, Kama Sutra's mission is as relevant as ever.
The Kama Sutra company takes its name from the classic 4th-century Indian text on lovemaking, the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana. The Kama is the greatly revered Hindu God of Love, while Sutra means narrative, manual, or guide. The teachings in the text include the use of oils and fragrances to enchant the senses and intensify sexual pleasure.
While the inspiration for The Kama Sutra Company may be ancient, the intention behind its products is quintessentially modern. The company's very first product, Kama Sutra's Oil of Love, was a little bottle that would have a giant ripple effect. Still as sought after now as it was when it debuted, Oil of Love was the catalyst for a host of other passion-worthy products that include Pleasure Balm, Honey Dust Body Powders, Massage Creams and Oils, Personal Lubricants, Luxury Bathing Gels, and most recently, decadent and intriguing Massage Candles.
Kama Sutra is dedicated to the well-being both of body and spirit. The luxurious formulas are not just for lovemaking, they are designed with the health and the beauty of the skin in mind, and to heighten sensual awareness both in and beyond the bedroom. Elegant textures and irresistible scents are the hallmarks of the Kama Sutra products. Kissable flavors make love sweet indeed.
A feast for the eyes, Kama Sutra's product packaging boasts richly hued exotic graphics, directly inspired by the illustrations found in the original Kama Sutra. Jewel-like colors and flower-like silhouettes are edged in burnished gold creating a look that is distinctive and timeless. Gift-quality cylinders, boxes, and reusable metal containers hold handsome flacons, sleek jars, and frosted bottles. They're as appropriate on a vanity top like a bottle of fine perfume or an exquisite piece of jewelry, and rarely stay hidden in drawers.
The future is bright for The Kama Sutra Company. The company continues to refine its products and introduce new ones, and expand its retail presence across numerous channels. While Kama Sutra started in the specialty shops of the 60s and ’70s and evolved into the "adult" world in the '80s and '90s, the brand is now sold internationally in over 50 countries, both in mainstream venues including U.S. military commissaries and major U.S. drug chains, and in adult venues.
💦 Slippery, Slick, and Sensual Sex - Using Personal Water-based Lubricants, Silicone-based Lubricants, Massage Oils, and Warming Oils
Although Kama Sutra Lubricants have been used for centuries to smooth the way for masturbation and anal play, many couples don’t realize how great Kama Sutra Lubricants are when having vaginal or anal intercourse. Many women think that if they aren’t “wet,” they aren’t aroused enough – or there’s something wrong with them. Not true! A woman’s body naturally becomes lubricated when she’s aroused, but often doesn’t produce enough moisture to last the duration of her sexual play. However, a shallow handful of lube applied to the penis and vaginal canal will ease penetration and make the whole experience more enjoyable for both partners.
You might also try massage oils or lotions and warming oils: while these types of Kama Sutra Lubricants aren’t good for vaginal or anal lubrication, they do add a nice, slippery dimension to your sexual experiences, creating an inviting atmosphere of warmth, intimacy, and sensuality. At the very least, regular use of Kama Sutra Lubricants and oils will spice up your sex life, banishing the blahs and adding zest to your otherwise-tame passionate encounters.
💎 Kama Sutra Lubricants - State-of-the-Art Pleasure
Intended for internal and external lubrication of the vagina, anus, and penis, using Kama Sutra Lubricants is the easiest way to make intercourse and masturbation more relaxed. While an abundance of lubes is available in different colors, textures, and flavors, Kama Sutra Lubricants come in four basic forms:
Petroleum-based lubricants. Made from petroleum jelly, mineral oil, or petrolatum, petroleum-based lubes are the most commonly used type of lubrication. Different types include Vaseline products and baby oil. As petroleum-based lubes destroy latex – practically on contact – they should never be used with condoms, diaphragms, or cervical caps. Petroleum-based lubes stain fabric and can be difficult to wash out. Also, petroleum-based lubes tend to irritate the vagina, so they’re not really the best option for women wanting to enjoy vaginal penetration. Petroleum-based lubes are great, however, for penis masturbation and anal play.
Oil-based lubricants. Usually made from natural products, such as vegetable oils, nut oils, Crisco, and butter, oil-based lubes tend to stain fabrics and can be difficult to wash off, but they are safe for use with the vagina. Oil-based lubes also destroy latex, so, like petroleum-based lubes, they should never be used with condoms, diaphragms, or cervical caps. Oil-based Kama Sutra Lubricants are great for anal sex, vaginal intercourse, and male and female masturbation.
Water-based lubricants. Water-based Kama Sutra Lubricants typically contain deionized water, glycerin, propylene glycol, and nontoxic preservatives. Although available in both flavored and unflavored mixtures, most unflavored lubes still taste slightly sweet. Water-based lubes do not stain, are safe for use with latex and all other barrier birth control methods, and rarely cause irritation. While they often dry out during extended sex, water-based lubes are quickly revived with a spritz of water or a bit of saliva. Because of their versatility and effectiveness, water-based lubes are the form of lube recommended most often by sex therapists and experienced couples.
Silicone-based lubricants. Silicone-based Kama Sutra Lubricants are similar to water-based lubes with one notable difference: because they are silicone based, they are completely waterproof, making them ideal for underwater use. Silicone-based personal lubricants also retain their lubricating properties better and longer than water-based Kama Sutra Lubricants, and are highly concentrated … so a little goes a really long way! Silicone will not harm latex as oil-based kama sutra lubricants will do; however, silicone-based Kama Sutra Lubricants can harm sex toys made from silicone, so use a different lube when using your silicone-built vibrators or dildos.
Whether you decide to try petroleum-, oil-, water- or silicone-based Kama Sutra Lubricants, remember the various restrictions that go along with each. Try a few different kits with your lover so the two of you can experiment with different flavors, consistencies, and textures. If you don’t find a lube you like right away, don’t panic: there are about a zillion different kinds out there.
🤲 Kama Sutra Massage Oils
Massage oils and lotions do a variety of useful things: they spice up a dull night, lend a sensual dimension to a boring old back rub, and reduce friction, keeping your body silky, slippery and slick. To use, pour a small amount into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together before gently applying it to your lover’s body. Never pour the oil directly on your lover’s body – it feels cold and weird. Rub the lotion or oil into your lover’s body, reapplying as necessary. Feel free to rub oil into your lover’s back, arms, legs, buttocks, chest, and neck, but keep it away from genitals unless the bottle specifically says the lotion is safe for internal use. Even if it is safe, test a small amount on the skin first, ensuring you and your lover won’t have an allergic or “burning” reaction to it. While you can use regular hand lotion for a back rub, it’s best to use lotions or oils specifically developed for massage. They leave less of a sticky residue and often have a pleasant aroma and/or taste. If you have oily skin, make sure you shower after your massage: many massage oils can cause breakouts on your back or chest. Massage oils and lotions are not safe to use with latex unless the bottle specifically says otherwise.
🔥 Kama Sutra Warming Oils
Also known as edible oils, warming oils work about the same way massage oils work: pour a small puddle in one hand, rub both hands together to distribute, then apply in a thin layer to the desired area. Gently rub into the skin, applying more as necessary. As you continue to massage, the warming oil will begin to heat up, causing your partner to feel a pleasantly warm sensation. While not the best option for full-body massages, warming oils are great for genital massage, or for massaging small, concentrated areas, such as breasts, buttocks, thighs, and arms. Some warming oils can’t be used with latex products – make sure to read the label before using. Warming oils aren’t appropriate for internal use – don’t use them for vaginal or anal penetration. However, you can apply them to the surface of your genitals. Be warned: some of the warmth-inducing elements may irritate the skin; do a skin patch test before using during sex or your genitals may end up hotter than you intended.
