The Best Lube. Yes, Really.
The Best Lube. Yes, Really.
WHAT: Nécessaire The Sex Gel
WHY: Look, no one wants to write or talk or think about lube. Because the word “lube” sparks images of lurid purple bottles with insane, vomit-inducing names like “Astroglide” that your high school boyfriend bought because he heard from his idiot friends that it was “The Best” (spoiler: it’s not). OR, just the idea of using lube makes you feel like you’re 108 years old and “need” extra lubrication because you’re “dried up.” NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
But needing or wanting to use lube does not mean that anything is wrong with your body. Lube is just something to make sex more fun and pleasurable. In fact, plenty of women use it to prevent recurring UTI’s or counteract the side effects of birth control. No need to feel embarrassed about it.
And “The Sex Gel” by Nécessaire is making lube kind of…chic? Not only does it come in a minimal black and white packaging that you don’t need to hide and might even want to proudly display on your nightstand, but just the name itself is such a marked improvement over “lube” that we’re inclined to only call any lube “Sex Gel” from now on.
For those of us that have a delicate vaginal flora and prefer Sex Gel that doesn’t give us instantaneous raging yeast infections, Necessaire’s version is water-based and made with aloe and hyaluronic acid, so your vag is also receiving some lovely hydration and anti-aging benefits.
Most importantly, it works. A tiny pump is all you need as this stuff is very…wet. We tried, and can attest it provides plenty of slippage.
