Got Lube? Lubricants 101

Choosing the right lubricant is vital to having a healthy sex life. A woman’s natural lubrication abilities vary dramatically over the course of her monthly cycle and without the proper lubrication sex can be less satisfying for both partners.

Although choosing a lubricant may seem like a simple task, there are actually several important factors to consider when you want to pick the right type of lube. You need to get the basics right and then perhaps you also want something more specialized for your own needs. There are three main kinds of lube available to you on the internet, in the grocery store, pharmacy, and a host of other specialty shops. These lubes can be water based, oil based, or silicone based.

You can not just grab any old lube and proceed to have safe sex. You need to know the difference between them and how they can affect your body and most importantly your latex condom. Condoms can breakdown if the right lube is not used during intercourse. There are also differences in the kind of lube you want for different kinds of sex or if you want a personal lubrication for masturbation purposes. Being knowledgeable on lubricants will help you have a better and safer sex life.
