When it comes to lubrication, there are many choices!
Experiment to find out what type and brand you like best.
Using vaginally or with toys?
Look for a water-based lube, such as Swiss Navy or ID Glide & silicone-based
lubes like ID Millennium.
Looking for something that will last longer in water?
Choose a silicone-based lube like Eros/Pjur or ID Millennium Silicone Lubricant
Using for anal play?
For anal play, try a thick silicone or water based lubrication, like Slippery Stuff Gel.
There are also lubricants designed specifically for anal sex. Some of these are lightly desensitizing (like Anal Enhancer that contains benzocaine) or have ingredients that relax and slightly numb the muscles to make anal sex more pleasurable (like ID Back Slide which contains clove).
Looking for flavored?
ID’s Fruitopia or Swiss Navy Peppermint are designed to be edible, are water based, and can be used for penetration (not just as a tasty treat)!
What type of texture are you looking for?
-
Thinner Lube:
Try Astroglide, ID Lube, or a silicone-based lubricant.
-
Thicker Lube:
Try Waterslide or Slippery Stuff Gel.
-
Super Slippery:
Try Pjur/Eros, ID Millennium Silicone Lubricant, Jo Silicone, or
Are Sensitivities a Concern?
If very sensitive skin is a concern, skip the silicone based lubrication and go for water based. Make sure the lube doesn’t contain methyl, glycerin, or paraben - like physician recommended Slippery Stuff. Also, try testing the lube first by applying it to the inside of your forearm or wrist and waiting a day to see if any irritation occurs.
If yeast infections are a concern, try a lube that contains hemp; Like Waterslide as they are known to actually decrease occurrences of yeast infection.
