So when it comes to lubricants or lube, there is an endless list of things for us to share with you as well as a lengthy list of products that we can offer.  For the most part, lubrication is a key part of sex.  But it’s not something that usually gets a lot of attention. For most people and a lot of sex acts, proper lube is crucial to your enjoyment and your personal health.

There are primarily two different types – water-based and oil-based.  Versatile, water-based lubes are your best bet for the majority of sexy fun. Safe for use with all sex toy materials and condom.  They are also perfect for skin-to-skin contact and easy to clean. A good water-based lube should be in everyone’s bedside table or sex toy chest. The one downside to a water-based formula is that it eventually dries and can get sticky or tacky over time. The good news is that slipperiness re-activates with more moisture, so whether that’s more lube or even saliva, you’ll be good to go again.

Oil-based lubes are a bit of an underdog. They’re not very versatile and can’t be used with most toys. They should never be used with condoms and most silicon toys. Oil-based lubes do shine when it comes to masturbation though, particularly if you’ve got a penis. Extra slippery and usually very thick, they’re perfect for stroking sessions and external massage.
