Then, it's time to apply. There are a few different ways to do this. When adding lube to the outside of the condom , you can pour a bit on your fingertips and spread it on your partner’s penis after they’ve put on the condom, but before penetration. (Of course, they can also do this themselves if they prefer.) If you're using a condom on a sex toy , the same idea applies: put the condom on the sex toy, then the lube on the condom. If you feel like you need more lube during sex , you can pause for a moment and re-apply. You can also apply lube directly to your vagina or anus — simply pour a bit on your fingers and begin.
