An all purpose lube for sex and body massage needs is the best option, this means you only need buy one product and silicone lube is the best for this. You only need use a very small amount and this actually goes a very long way, it is also good for preventing friction and is a non-irritant product.

While water based lubes are also good, any lube with glycerin, oil or any added flavors and sugars is not a great idea. The vagina is able to lubricate itself although often not enough to prevent friction, irritation and even small tears and silicone lube helps. It is also good for anal sex practices and for use with condoms.

Also steer clear of lubes which contain nonoxynol-9 spermicide – this is not great for oral sex, and it breaks down the latex of condoms. Because it is a highly effective spermicide it is extremely corrosive and can even increase the chances of contracting HIV, if it damages a condom. In the case of oral sex nonoxynol-9 tastes terrible and will make the lips and tongue numb.

Silcone Lube Last 

Silicone lube, lasts for ever and stays slippery, as we said, only a little goes a long way and it is fabulous for vaginal as well as full body massage. Bear in mind that for a quickie in the loo, it may not be practical as it can stain fabrics. Its use reduces friction and keeps things comfortable.

You will find that the most high quality lubes are silicone or water based, anything with oil, glycerin, added sugars of flavors can cause irritation and have even been known to promote bladder and yeast infections if the user is prone to these.

If you are going to use silicone lube on silicone sex toys, take care to slip a condom over the toy first. This is a good idea anyway as hygiene should always be first and foremost in your thoughts. It is quick to slip on and makes clean ups so much more simple. Silicone lube can then safely be used and any bacterial or other contamination is avoided, your sex toys will last longer.
