Sexual Lubricants & Cleansers

What is sexual lubricant?

For those who are yet unfamiliar, sexual lubricant is a gel or liquid used to reduce irritation and friction. It can be used in all types of sexual intercourse, such as anal sex, penis-in-vagina penetration, sex toy experiences (with or without a partner), as well as masturbation. Although many people have their own natural lubrication, purchasing sexual lubrication is a great way to make your pleasure time much more enjoyable.

How to pick a lubricant?

If you are interested in using lubricants, you have lots of options. First, however, you should probably take the time to figure out which type of lube is best for your unique preferences. Two of the most common types of sexual lubrication products are water-based and silicone-based. Here is how they compare:

• Water-Based: These types of sexual lubricants typically have a water base and usually include glycerin. These sexual lubricants are safe to use with sex toys and latex condoms. However, they do not last as long as other types of lubricants. Moreover, they are not ideal for those who have frequent yeast infections.     
• Silicone-Based: On the other hand, silicone-based lubes are longer-lasting lubricants. They are an excellent way to treat vaginal dryness. However, they can also be unsafe to use with silicone toys or diaphragms. They are also less sticky than water-based lubricants. Moreover, it can also have a greasy feel to them.
