All You Need to Know About Sex Lubes
You need to be careful when selecting any lube, as you should be diligent about what’s going on and in your body. It is why we refer you to our guide on how to use sex lubes, which you can find in our blog. Here, we’ll only outline the main things to know about sex lubes:
- Base and ingredients – we advise you to check the ingredients of the lube you are considering. Knowing what’s in the lube is key to how you can use it. Some of the ingredients we advise you to stay away from are propylene glycol, PEG, and other preservatives. Stick to lubes that contain mainly natural ingredients.
- Long-lasting formula – we recommend you prefer to buy sex lubes with a long-lasting formula that is slow to dry out. This is mainly an issue with water-based lubes, and if the lube starts to become thick, you can reactivate it with a dab of water or even some saliva. Silicone lubes don’t have this problem, as these are virtually non-drying.
- pH Balance – look for sex lubes that have neutral pH levels, especially when you are looking for sex lubes. Avoid using oil-based lubes for vaginal intercourse, as the oil-based lube is not very suited for the vaginal microflora and can even cause a yeast outbreak.
- Additional properties – you will come upon flavored lubes, edible lubes, cooling lubes, or warming lubes, and all of these are fun to try. However, we don’t advise these for penetrative play but more for sex toys and oral play.
The Bottom Line
We added the suggestions we consider to be the best lubes for sex. But we also invite you to check out the other posts on our blog, where we discuss lube in general and have more educational content.
