Sex Lubricants
Not sure which lubricant to get? Your questions will be answered in this following lubricant guide.
Lubricants aren't just for sex. Slicking up solo fun is one of the most common uses for lubricants, oils and lotions. Using lubrication during masturbation is safe, sensual and practical: you want your sex toys to slip and slide as much as possible.
Veterans will already know what lubricant is most suitable for them. But if you are buying a lubricant for the first time we would like to recommend the following. It’s best to start off with a water-based lubricant like Condomi Lub, Liquid Silk, PJUR Aqua Durex Play, Wet Original or Maximus. Water-based lubricants don’t stain and they are totally safe to use on all sex toys. If you want to use a lubricant for oral play we recommend you get one of the delicious ID Juicy Lubes. Anal players tend to go for Liquid Silk or the PJUR Original lubricant because they are slightly thicker and longer lasting. And if you’re looking for a Lubricant which is safe to use with all sex toys stick to a water-based one like Liquid Silk, Condomi Lub or PJUR Aqua. PJUR is considered the ultimate of all lubricants. So if you’re after the best gliding experience – go for PJUR.
While an abundance of lubricants are available in different colours, textures and flavours, lubricants come in four basic forms, and are intended for use with sex toys, internal and external application to the vagina, anus, penis and testicles, as well as all over body massage.
Water-based lubricants like Liquid Silk typically contain de-ionized water, glycerin and nontoxic preservatives. Although available in both flavoured and non flavoured mixtures, most non flavoured lubricants still taste slightly sweet. Water-based lubricants do not stain, are safe for use with latex and all other barrier birth control methods, and rarely cause irritation. While they often dry out during extended sex, water-based lubricants are quickly revived with a splash of water. Because of their versatility and effectiveness, water-based lubricants are recommended most often.
Silicone-based lubricants like Pjur Bodyglide Original are similar to water-based lubricants with one notable difference: because they are silicone based, they are completely waterproof, making them ideal for underwater use. They also retain their lubricating properties better and longer than water-based lubricants, and are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Silicone will not harm latex as oil-based lubricants will do; however, silicone-based lubricants can harm sex toys made from silicone, so use a different lubricant when using your more expensive toys.
Usually made from natural products, such as vegetable oils and nut oils, oil-based lubricants tend to stain fabrics and can be difficult to wash off, but they are safe for use with the vagina. Oil-based lubricants also destroy latex, so, like petroleum-based lubricants, they should never be used with condoms, diaphragms or cervical caps. Oil-based lubricants are great for anal sex, vaginal intercourse, and male and female masturbation.
These lubricants are made from petroleum jelly. Different types include Vaseline products and baby oil. As petroleum-based lubricants destroy latex - practically on contact - they should never be used with condoms, diaphragms or cervical caps. Petroleum-based lubricants stain fabric and can be difficult to wash out. Also, petroleum-based lubricants tend to irritate the vagina, so they're not really the best option for women wanting to enjoy vaginal penetration. Petroleum-based lubricants are great, however, for male masturbation and anal play. Bondara does not stock any petroleum-based lubricants because they stain and they are not suitable for sex toys.
Whether you decide to try petroleum, oil, water or silicone-based lubricants, remember the various restrictions that go along with each. Try a few different kinds with your partner so the two of you can experiment with different flavours, consistencies and textures. If you are a beginner we would recommend you start off with a water-based lubricant (Liquid Silk being the most popular) and then maybe try a silicone-based one (like Pjur) to compare. Happy gliding!
