Lubricants

Lubricants are a great means of combatting conditions such as vaginal dryness and uncomfortable anal sex. Sexual lubricants have been better known for use in the bedroom when it comes to foreplay and sexual intercourse.

There are 3 types of sexual lubricants available, Water- based, silicone-based and oil-based. Water-based lubricants are the most popular form of personal lubricants as its easy to use, clean and can be used in all forms of sexual activities. It can be used for vaginal, anal and oral sex making it the perfect type of lubricant for many people. They also come in flavoured additions, creating a new angle in the bedroom. The silicone-based sexual lubricants last longer then water-based lubricant so is preferred in longer sexual activities and for anal sex. Is cannot be used with silicone sex toys due to the silicone-on-silicone reaction but can be used with latex condoms and non-silicone sex toys. Finally we have the oil-based sexual lubrication, this comes in the form of Vaseline and vitamin E oil. It is considered a great sexual lubricant for hand jobs but cannot be used alongside latex condoms or rubber sex toys. Because of this, oil-based lubricants are popular with couples in monogamous relationships that don’t need contraceptives.
