What Are Personal Lubes?

What lube is safest to use?

Water-based lubes with minimal ingredients (specifically those free from parabens, glycerin, and propylene glycol) are the most biocompatible and least likely to irritate.

Is water-based lube best?

It is the most versatile and the easiest to live with (no stains, no mess), but it does require reapplication since it evaporates/absorbs over time.

Can lube be used with toys?

Yes, and it should be. Using toys "dry" can damage the surface of the toy and your skin. Just remember the golden rule: Water-based for everything; Silicone only for non-silicone toys.

Does lubricant expire?

Yes. Look for the expiration date on the bottle. Over time, the preservative system breaks down, which can allow bacteria to grow or cause the texture to become runny or separated.

How to Choose the Right Lube

The decision usually comes down to two factors: Activity and Equipment. If you are using silicone sex toys, you are generally restricted to water-based or oil-free hybrid lubes. This is because silicone lube will chemically bond with a silicone toy, causing the surface to melt or bubble. If you are playing in the shower or bath, you must use silicone lube. Water-based lube will wash away the second the water hits it.
If you have highly sensitive skin or are prone to yeast infections, look for glycerin-free and paraben-free water-based options. Glycerin is a sugar alcohol that can feed yeast, so avoiding it is a smart move for health-conscious users.

When to Use Lubricant

Solo Play: Even if you don't strictly "need" it, using lube with masturbation sleeves or dildos prevents the "raw" feeling that can happen after 15 or 20 minutes of friction.
Partnered Play: Lube is essential for endurance. It keeps things comfortable during long sessions or when switching positions frequently.
Toy Use: Toys made of glass, metal, or hard plastic have absolutely no "give." A thick layer of lube is required to create a seal and ensure comfortable insertion.
