The mucus-rich vaginal andvulvaskin is amongst the most absorbent parts of the entire body. You don't want to be putting any gross KY Jelly down there.

Lubricant manufacturers such as Durex, Astroglide, and Sliquid have launched websites for sale of personal lubricants. Retail giants such as Walmart, Walgreens, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, and Coles are also selling these products via online stores. Manufacturers are introducing advanced products that enhance the sexual experience. Moreover, they mainly target couples and female consumers by making these products available in grocery & drug stores. Walmart, Target, Walgreen, CVS Pharmacy, RiteAid, and Sainsbury's are some of the retail stores where these products are readily available. You get all the benefits of water-based versatility and silicone-based slipperiness.



There are three basic lube varieties to choose from, but silicone tends to leap ahead of the pack. Unlike water-based lubricants, silicone lubes are usually long-lasting, which means you don't have to constantly interrupt your grind to keep reapplying it. By nature of it being silicone, these lubes also tend to be hypoallergenic and have a higher viscosity (meaning they're extra slippery), plus they tend not to leave behind tacky residue. For anal sex or other types of anal play, silicone lube is usually recommended by experts because of how well it helps to cut down on the friction factor.
It's a good idea to try Light if Original is too thick for you. Here are some silicone-based lubes that are vetted as the highest quality by sex shops like Smitten Kitten, Early To Bed and Babeland. Water-based or silicone-based lubricants are generally recommended if you use condoms, as they work well with all types of condoms.

However, they may not last as long as a couple would like and may need to be reapplied during sex to maintain moisture. There are several types of lubricants, each with advantages and disadvantages. "The wetter the better." It's a sexual cliché you've heard more times than you can remember. This product offers extremely long lasting lubrication and leaves skin feeling silky smooth. If you have chronic pain, a lubricant containing lidocaine or benzocaine — numbing agents that can reduce vaginal, oral or anal pain — may be prescribed or recommended to you.
On the other hand, silicone lubes are condom compatible; they do not get evaporated and dries the skin and reduces friction for long-lasting sex pleasure. It is water-resistant and contains a thicker base comparatively. Water-based lubricant is widely available and relatively affordable. It can be used with all types of condoms and feels like natural lubrication. For all of these reasons, it’s considered to be one the best lubricants for sex, and is often recommended both for anal sex and people with vaginal dryness. That is something to keep in mind if you plan on having a romp on top of your fancy duvet.
Another downside of silicone lubricant is that it can sometimes react negatively with silicone sex toys and damage them. As a general rule of thumb, most toy manufacturers recommend never using silicone lube with silicone toys. Although some silicone toy and silicone lube combinations work perfectly well together, the only way to find water based out is to experiment, which may put your toys at risk. All sex toys are fun to play with and to top it all off, the insertable ones are induced with an additional dose of pleasure. As exciting as it is to incorporate sex toys in your regiment, using them sometime requires some outside assistance, especially the insertable ones.

A healthy vagina should maintain the pH level of 3.5 to 4.5, so the lube you use should also be around the same level. In the mood but your body isn’t getting the message to start lubricating yet? Worried about exactly what ingredients you’re putting down there? Natural lubes have been cropping up in the past couple of years, though there’s a bit of debate as to what “natural lube” really means.
But still, silicone-based lubes are going to make your life much easier. They don’t need reapplication and they limit friction in what’s a tight area of the body. Below, you will find five popular natural lubricants safe enough to use with latex condoms, sex toys and sensitive skin. Furthermore, product innovation by manufacturers to meet the rising customer demand is expected to boost growth. For instance, in February 2017, Foria Wellness, a sexual health and wellness company, designed and marketed a cannabis-infused lubricant for females in Canada. Europe held the second-largest share in the market with growing demand from Germany, U.K., France, and other western European countries.

As amazing as lubes are, they can do all these things, if you use the wrong type for the situation. Obviously, there are things that are not made specifically to serve as lubricants that could work well to reduce friction, and you likely have many of them around the house. My gynecologist once told me that olive oil was the best lube, and there are also other cooking oils, baby oil, moisturizing lotions, or Vaseline. While these can work well in a pinch, it’s important to remember that many of them are oil-based and should never be used with condoms. If you rely on condoms for pregnancy or STI prevention, it’s definitely worth it to purchase condom-safe lube. Other household items like honey, jam, and some bath oils contain sugar, which can upset the vagina’s natural bacteria and lead to yeast infections.
Water-based formulas are, as the name implies, water-soluble, so while they may not last as long as other types, cleaning them up is a breeze. Oil-based lubes, on the other hand, will typically last much longer without needing reapplication — and because of this, they're great for anal sex, since you need a lot of lube for backdoor play. But oil-based lubes are not compatible with latex condoms, so you should only use them if you and your partner are fluid-bonded.
Silicone-based lubes are slicker and more difficult to wipe away than water-based ones, making them ideal for anal sex and shower sex, said Park. "Any changes in that balance, whether it's due to irritating lubricants or otherwise, can trigger an infection." Note This is not condom compatible and isn't good for vaginal sex because the vegetable oils can accumulate inside the vagina and attract microbes, which can cause infection. There are only three ingredients in this classic formula, which makes it a great option if you're new to lube and it has high-grade silicone so it lasts forever.

They feel a lot like oil, giving you the comfortable silky feeling while you use them. They also last a lot longer than any water-based lube you’ll find just like an oil-based lubricant. Oil-based lubricants though break down latex condoms, but silicone lube doesn’t! Silicone lubricant also doesn’t react with anything except silicone, so it’s one of the safest kinds of lube there is. As soon as you start using any additives, the lube may start to react with things. While natural lubes are usually a safer option, DeLucia warns against them when condoms are involved.
