Quick answer
Apply Delight Oil-Based Lube by starting with a patch test on your forearm, then warming a small amount in your hands and applying it to the external areas where you want less friction. Reapply as needed, and never use it with latex or polyisoprene condoms because oil can weaken them.
Why Delight works best as a targeted, external lube
Delight is an organic, oil-based personal lubricant made with plant-based ingredients like organic coconut oil, organic cocoa butter, and sea buckthorn oil. That creamy, rich formula is designed to enhance intimacy, soothe discomfort, and moisturize your body's natural lubrication. Because it is oil-based, it stays slippery longer than many water-based options and does not dry out as quickly from body heat or airflow. That makes it a strong choice for external play, massage, and moisturizing dry skin. It is not a good match for every situation, though: oil-based formulas are not compatible with latex or polyisoprene condoms, and some people find them harder to clean up than water-based lubes.
Check compatibility before you open the bottle
Before applying Delight, confirm what you will be using it with. If you plan to use condoms, choose polyurethane or nitrile condoms instead of latex or polyisoprene. If you are using silicone toys, test a small amount of oil on an inconspicuous area first, because oil can degrade some silicone blends over time. If you are unsure whether your toy is silicone or a silicone blend, check the manufacturer's guidance or use a water-based lube like the one in The Lube Bundle for toy play.
How much to use and how to store it
Start with a pea-sized amount and add more only if you feel drag. Delight is rich, so a little goes further than a typical water-based lube. Store the bottle at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and wipe the cap after each use to keep the opening clean. If the oil separates or the texture changes, stop using it. Because oil-based lubes can leave residue on sheets and clothing, keep a dark towel nearby if you want to protect fabrics.
How to apply Delight Oil-Based Lube: step by step
- Patch test first: Apply a small amount of Delight to your inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Checkpoint: no redness, itching, or burning means you can proceed.
- Warm a small amount in your hands: Squeeze a pea-sized amount into your palm and rub your hands together for a few seconds. This helps the oil spread evenly instead of sitting in one spot. Mistake to avoid: using too much at once, which can feel greasy rather than slick.
- Apply to external areas only: Spread the warmed oil on the external skin where you want less friction, such as the vulva, perineum, or penis. Do not insert it into the vagina unless your healthcare provider says it is safe for you. Checkpoint: stop if you feel any burning or discomfort.
- Reapply as needed: Add more Delight whenever you feel drag or dryness. Because it is oil-based, it lasts longer than water-based lube, so you may need less frequent reapplication. Mistake to avoid: assuming you need the same amount as a water-based lube.
- Clean up with warm water and mild soap: Wash the area with warm water and a gentle cleanser, then pat dry. Oil-based lube can leave residue, so take your time. For toys, use a dedicated toy cleaner or the gentle wash in The Intimate Care Bundle. Next step: store the bottle upright with the cap tightly closed.
