Why should I use personal lubricants?
The different types of lubricants available
Water Based:
A good bottle of water based lubricant should be the mainstay in your toy box because they have many advantages and very few disadvantages. Water based lubricants, as the name suggests, are made using water as the base. Other ingredients are then added to produce a lubricant that has slickness and longevity.
When should you choose a water-based lubricant:
Water-based lubricants are the most versatile lubricants on the market, being suitable and safe to use for most types of sexual play, including vaginal, anal and oral sex. Water based lubricants are also safe to use with condoms and all types of sex toy materials. Water based lubes can vary a lot in viscosity. Due to the fact they are water based, the lubricant can be made thicker, or thinner, depending on how much water is used during manufacture, some are very runny and others are more gel-like.
When should I avoid Water Based Lubricants:
Water Based Lubricants are water soluble. (They dissolve and wash away very easily in water.) This makes them unsuitable for use in the bath or shower.
