How to Buy Lubes
Now that you've met all the cool lubes, it's time to do some serious shopping. Here's some other things you need to know about sex lubes before hitting the Add to Cart button.
Start With the Ingredients.
Lube is typically broken down according to the main ingredient. There are two major types of sex lube: water-based and silicone-based. Water-based lubes are good all-around options. Silicone-based lubes are generally better for sex.
Ask Yourself: "What do I need lube for?"
Once you decided on the main ingredient, you need to figure out how you plan on using the lube. Most lubes are tweak for a particular purpose. Anal lubes, for example, are thicker and longer-lasting than other types. Flavored lubes, on the other hand, are made for oral sex. But there are also vibrator lubes, hybrid lubes and many other types to choose from.
Tips for Using Lube
Before getting slippery, here are some fun and helpful lube pointers.
Enhance Sex.
Lubes are a great way to spice up sex. Flavored lubes make oral extra tasty, while warming/cooling lubes make foreplay more fun.
Watch the Bed Spread.
Use non-staining lubes whenever possible so you don't have to mess up your bed sheets or bed spread.
Cleaning Up Afterwards.
Water-based lubes wash off with just soap and water. Silicone-based lubes can be wiped off with a towel.
