Sex should always be pleasurable—period. It’s not enough to “deal with” discomfort from dryness or tightness. 43% of women experience some form of sexual dysfunction, such as low sex drive, trouble getting turned on, or pain during sex.1,2 Women deserve better, and that’s why we’re committed to addressing function and pleasure. With Milli, we offer the only expanding dilator that vibrates, designed to ease discomfort. Yes, we care about helping you have sex without pain—that’s the bare minimum. But we also want to take things further and make sure you experience pleasure. It’s time to stop ignoring women’s pain and start demanding better tools. You don’t have to settle for “the way it goes.”
Why Use Lube?
Your sexual health is important. You don’t have to put up with pain or discomfort during sex. Whether you’re dealing with vaginal dryness, or tightness or need some extra support for your body’s natural lubrication, lube can make all the difference. It helps reduce friction, making sex smoother and gives you the comfort and pleasure you deserve.
Types of Lubricants
Choosing the right lubricant can make all the difference. Here’s a quick breakdown of your options:
- Water-Based Lube
This is the go-to option for most people. It’s gentle on your skin, safe for use with toys or vaginal dilators, and easy to clean. - Silicone-Based Lube
This lube lasts longer and stays slick but can’t be used with silicone toys or dilators. It’s great for longer sessions but harder to wash off. - Oil-Based Lube
While oil-based lubes feel luxurious, they’re not the best for internal use and can mess with vaginal health. Avoid these if you’re using toys or dilators.
How to Pick the Best Lube for You
The best lube depends on what you need and prefer. If you’re using a vaginal dilator or any pelvic health tools, stick with a water-based lubricant. It’s gentle, won’t damage the dilator, and is ideal for your vagina.
How to Use Lube for a More Comfortable Experience
When it comes to lube, more is better. Here’s how to use it in different situations:
- During Sex: Lube can make sex feel smoother and more comfortable, especially if you’re dealing with dryness. Don’t hesitate to use plenty and reapply if needed.
- With Vaginal Dilators: If you’re using dilators, like Milli, to help with tightness or discomfort, lube is a game changer. It allows the dilator to glide smoothly, making the process more comfortable.
Only Water-Based Lube with Milli
Milli is different from traditional vaginal dilators because it’s the only expanding dilator available. To keep it working at its best, only use water-based lube. Silicone or oil-based lubes can damage the surface of Milli, while water-based lubes protect it and ensure a smoother experience.
Why Milli is Different: The Only Expanding Dilator
Most vaginal dilators come in set sizes, meaning you have to switch between them as you progress. Milli is the only dilator that expands gradually, giving you more control and helping you progress at your speed. This means you don’t have to rush through different sizes, which can be painful or stressful. Instead, Milli allows you to adjust gradually, making the process smoother and more comfortable.
Beyond Sex: Lube for Daily Comfort
Lube isn’t just for sex. If you experience tightness or dryness regularly, using lube can make daily activities more comfortable. It’s a simple tool that can make a big difference, especially when paired with a dilator like Milli, to restore comfort and confidence.
