What is a personal lubricant?
A personal lubricant is a gel or liquid designed to reduce friction during sexual intercourse or toy use. According to the American Sexual Health Association, 65% of women experience vaginal dryness at some point, making lubricant an essential complement for pleasure and comfort.
Types of lubricants: which one to choose?
There are three main types of lubricants, each with specific advantages:
Water-based lubricants
- Advantages: Compatible with all toys and condoms. Easy to clean. Don't stain.
- Disadvantages: Dry faster, may need reapplication.
- Ideal for: Use with silicone toys, sex with condoms, sensitive skin.
Silicone-based lubricants
- Advantages: Last much longer, excellent for anal sex, water-resistant.
- Disadvantages: Not compatible with silicone toys, harder to clean.
- Ideal for: Anal sex, shower/pool sex, long sessions.
Hybrid lubricants
- Advantages: Combine the best of water and silicone. Longer lasting than pure water-based.
- Disadvantages: Check compatibility with specific toys.
- Ideal for: General use, those seeking balance between duration and easy cleanup.
Special lubricants and their uses

Frequently asked questions about lubricants
Do I need lubricant if I already have natural lubrication?
Natural lubrication varies depending on cycle timing, stress, medications, and age. Using additional lubricant is never bad and can significantly improve the experience, even with good natural lubrication.
Are lubricants safe with condoms?
Water-based and silicone-based lubricants are safe with latex condoms. Never use oil-based lubricants (coconut oil, petroleum jelly) with latex condoms, as they weaken the material.
What lubricant should I use for anal sex?
We recommend silicone-based or hybrid lubricants for anal sex, as they last longer and the anus doesn't produce natural lubrication. Look for products specifically formulated for anal use with thicker consistency.
Can lubricants cause infections?
Quality lubricants with balanced pH (3.8-4.5) don't cause infections. Avoid products with glycerin if you're prone to yeast infections, as glycerin can feed yeast. Choose paraben and fragrance-free lubricants for sensitive skin.
How much lubricant should I use?
Start with a coin-sized amount and add more as needed. It's better to apply little and add more than to use too much at once. Reapply when you feel lubrication decreasing.
