Types of lubricant for sex

WHAT’S THE BEST LUBRICANT TO USE FOR SEX

Sex lubricants can increase arousal, reduce friction and boost sexual pleasure during intercourse, foreplay or when using a sex toy. The best part is because they are created with intimate use in mind, lubricants are pretty much safe for Vaginal use.

There are different types of Lubricants to suit different needs, so finding the right lubricant for the right intimate activity is necessary for a great experience.


Below are different types of lubricants to look out for.


1. Water-based lubricant. Water-based lubricants are the most common type of Lubricant. They are suitable for use during foreplay and intercourse. Water-based Lubricants are safe to use with condoms and are also best for use with sex toys. They come in a variety of flavors ranging from plain and unflavoured to flavored lubes like strawberry, chocolate, raspberry, and more. 

Water-based Lubricants also come in variants that are warming for some extra heat. The only downside with water-based lube is that you may need to reapply when it dries out. Asides from that, water-based lubricants are a fantastic choice for improving sex.

Another plus is that water-based Lubricants are easy to rinse off. Check out our variety of water-based Lubricants here

2. Silicone-based Lubricant
Silicone-based lubricants tend to last longer than water-based ones without needing reapplication. It’s also the perfect lubricant for shower play as it does not rinse off as easily as water-based Lubricant. Silicone-based lubricants are condom compatible, however, they should not be used with silicone sex toys as they can damage such toys.

3. Oil-based lubricant
Oil-based lubricants are safe to use and can double as both a lubricant and massage oil. They also don’t tend to dry out like the water and silicone-based lubricants.

However, oil-based Lubricants are hard to clean and are associated with higher rates of infections than both water and silicone-based lubricants. They are also not compatible with condoms.

If you are going to use oil-based lube, look out for natural plant-based oil lubricants as these are more gentle on the body. Avoid using oil-based substances that are not designed to be used as lubricants, for example, baby oil and vaseline as they can mess up with the vagina pH and cause irritation.

4. Edible Lubricants
These are lubricants that can be ingested. If you would like to switch from manual stimulation to oral sex or make oral play wetter and better, edible lubes are your friend.
They come in a variety of flavors so you get to pick flavors you enjoy.
