Should I Use Sex Lubes?
PUBLISHED ON MAY , 2021
Are there different types of Lubes?
Yes, you got that right. There are multiple types of lubes based on base. The major ones are water, silicone, oil, and hybrid.
Water-based Lubes
The most common and versatile lube and hence its name – versatile lube. Water-based lube can be used anywhere and in any activity, you can think of. Want to involve sex toys? You can. They are safe to use with condoms and both latex and non-latex ones. It is also said that they decrease the risk of condom breakage. They feel like the vagina’s natural lubrication because of 95% water. The best thing about them is that they are inexpensive due to water. For vaginal sex, there’s Pjur Basic Waterbased Lube that is the best lube in a water base. It balances the pH of the vagina while reducing friction. Online Intimates makes sure that it won’t stain your sheets, it’s easy on the skin, and can be washed off easily in water.
Silicone-Based Lubes
Now, if you’ve got really sensitive skin then silicone-based lubes are going to save the day. It is like a silk sheet for your sensitive parts. It is a hypoallergenic lube due to silicone, so don’t cause a reaction, and also it lasts longer. Shower sex is considered to be the best place to use Silicone-based lube which makes the experience enjoyable because usually water washes everything away. Silicone doesn’t evaporate or absorbed into the skin so it just keeps going and going. Silicone-based lube can last your intercourse without the need for reapplying. Also, it is impervious to water and non-toxic. It is also considered the safest and gentlest lubes ever developed.

Oil Based
Sometimes during the act, you don’t want to apply the lubes again and again. You just want a simple thing that can be applied and then it should work on. Oil Based lube is the answer to that problem. Plant-based oil is used in making these lives and they provide double pleasure – both for sex and pleasure. They can’t be used with condoms as they have the risk of tearing apart condoms. Durex Play 2-1 is a good oil-based lube that is available at Online Intimates and gives you much-needed pleasure.
Natural Lube
Are you conscious about the ingredients of the lube? Well, natural lubes are going to amaze you and make you fall in love with them. Natural lubes have gotten much popularity in the last few years due to their use of natural ingredients. They also have fewer chemicals and forms a pretty unique and right means of enjoying good sex. You can find coconut oil, shea butter, aloe vera, and other natural ingredients in natural lubes. Online Intimates offers a huge range of natural lubes including Durex Play Natural which is a vegan, paraben-free option without any smell or taste, making it a perfect option for enjoying good and healthy sex. Coconut oil is also a liked choice in this category but there might be some problem of staining on the sheet that becomes cons.
How To Lube It?
If you are looking for the right formula for using lube, then you haven’t got one. It all depends on your demand. Want to use it during masturbation, use it. Having a massage and want to experience more, use it. Need more pleasure and sensation during foreplay, use lube. During intercourse, use lube to increase the pleasure and spread liberally.
You can apply as much as you want, and where you need it – need it to be vagina, penis, anus, nipples, pubic mound, or other places. The thing is to figure out which one is the best for you. Since lube can be a bit cold for your pubic regions, you can warm it up. Remember, if you are using a condom, don’t use oil-based lube then.
What’s To Avoid?
Yes, there are things or ingredients that you should avoid during shopping for lube. See, lubes can be fun but they need to have the right ingredients because they are going to the areas that are highly sensitive to infection. There are all sorts of lubes – flavored, natural, warm, and others. The pH value of the lube is very important in choosing. A healthy vagina should maintain a pH between 3.5 and 4.5. If any of lubes contain glycerin, nonoxynol-9, petroleum, propylene glycol, chlorhexidine gluconate, then avoid those lubes at all costs.
The lubes that don’t have paraben, glycerin, and petroleum are said to at minimum risk of infection. And also, if you are planning to use lube with a condom then that should be latex, rubber, and plastic friendly.
Otherwise use lube as much as you want because the wetter it is, the better it is and better the sex, better the life.
