Using oral dams for safer cunnilingus and rimming

Whether you’re going down on your partner before taking things to the next stage, or if you simply love the feel of them squirming beneath you, there’s a lot to love about oral – however, it’s not necessarily the right option for every occasion. With new or non-monogamous partners, for example, you will almost certainly be thinking about safe sex.

If so, you may have considered investing in an oral dam to keep the pleasure rolling while staying safe. In this guide, we’ll be looking at how to use oral dams to keep everyone feeling their hottest, all night long.

What is an oral dam?

Oral dams are ultra-thin membranes that protect against sexually transmitted diseases and odours; in turn, this allows both the receiver and the giver to get the highest level of pleasure from cunnilingus and rimming (pleasuring your partner’s anus by licking the highly sensitive nerve endings in this area) alike.

Oral dams are highly versatile and useful in other applications, such as sex during menstruation.

Key features of an oral dam

Oral dams are surprisingly simple little inventions, but they offer an excellent barrier for oral play. Some of the key features of top-quality oral dams include:

  • A super-thin membrane, allowing the receiver to experience every touch and sensation unhindered
  • Small and easy to handle, making them almost effortless to apply (even in the throes of passion)
  • Exceptional durability and strength despite their thinness, helping them stay intact even during the most intense activities

How to use an oral dam

Many people hesitate when it comes to oral dams, thinking they might hinder the experience or be difficult to apply. In reality, though, oral dams are incredibly simple to use. Just apply them over the area of choice, and get to work giving your partner a sensual experience that’ll rock their world. Or, to really enhance the sensations, add water-based lube behind the dam.

Despite being incredibly thin, oral dams are excellent ways to ensure that your sensual play stays safe and mess-free every time – shop our whole range of oral dams.
