The chances are you\u2019ve got a bottle of this tucked away in a bathroom cabinet or a bedroom\"intimate<\/a> drawer. Most of us do. I won\u2019t slip around the topic any longer, I\u2019m talking lube.<\/p>\n

Those lotions and potions that make time alone or with your partner\/s extra fun, and, sometimes, functional. Lubricants can be naughty, they can extend your arousal, and they can be an important part of safe sex toy use. But with so many different kinds on the market now though, how do you know what to use?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve decided to break down the secrets of lube, for your pleasure.<\/p>\n

Two of the most common lubricants on the Australian market are water-based and silicone\"vaso\"<\/a> lubes. You may be familiar with these, however they\u2019ve come a long way since a well-loved jar of Vaseline.<\/p>\n

Why Choose Water Based?<\/b><\/p>\n

Water based lubes like Femplay\u2019s Gold 100g<\/a> are slick and not too thick. They\u2019re also ideal for\"gold<\/a> use with condoms and toys, ensuring the life of your silicone vibrators. As an added bonus, water based lubes are ideal for men\u2019s toys too, as they are safe to use with cyberskin such as Fleshlights and cockrings.<\/p>\n

Paraben-Free and Glycerin-Free lube is a popular feature among the water-based lubricants currently. While the science is still out about whether parabens pose a direct threat to health, we do know that some women find glycerin based lubricants drying and irritating, particularly for those with histories of UTI’s and skin sensitivity. So for those seeking a natural non-irritating slickness, products like JO\u2019s Certified Organic 100% Natural Lubricant could be right for you.<\/p>\n

Why Choose Silicone Based?<\/b><\/p>\n

Unlike the water based lubes, silicone based lubricant lasts as long as you will. These thicker\"back<\/a> fluids are ideal for longer sessions in the bedroom, and more full-on fun. Pjur Back Door<\/a> is just one example of a high quality silicone lube with your pleasure in mind; with a hint of relaxing jojoba, this lube provides lasting lubrication for incredible anal sex.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t Decide?<\/b><\/p>\n

JO Hybrid<\/a> brings together the best of both worlds. Long lasting, smooth and 100% latex safe, this is a great all-purpose lubricant for pleasure seekers. It is a great place to start and once you feel comfortable and confident you can explore a little more.<\/p>\n

Looking for something interesting in a lube?<\/b><\/p>\n

Although lubes are an essential part of sexual activity they don\u2019t have to be boring. The straight laced scientists in the lab have shown their fun side and developed flavourds to add some interest in lubes. There\u2019s a lube for you too. Flavored lubes like the fresh and fruit Devine Nectar range engage more than just your sense of touch it also provides you with the sense of smell. Another twist to tradition lubes and gels are for oral activities such as menthol gels which provides tingling coolness that allows for oral action to go on for longer \u2013 and ease back on the gag reflex!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a harder and longer ride, an energising lubricant like Pjur\u2019s Ginkgo lube<\/a> will help the man in your life keep a harder erection with natural ingredients that are condom safe.<\/p>\n

What NOT to Use:<\/b><\/p>\n

You know we love to experiment, but be wary of what strange tips and tricks you try when it comes to lubrication. It\u2019s best to avoid using Vaseline and cooking oils as substitute lubricants, and if you must bring goodies like Nutella and Peanut Butter into the bedroom \u2013 we hope it\u2019s for some cheeky fun and not because you\u2019ve misplaced the KY.<\/p>\n

Avoid these household solutions to steer clear of nasty bacteria, any risk of skin aggravation, and crunchy peanut butter chunks where they really should not be!<\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019ve demystified the sexy, slippery world of lubes, it\u2019s time to go try some. It\u2019s not \"lube<\/a>uncommon to have several different kinds of lubes at home, ready for whatever kind of action you\u2019re up for. The key is to experiment until you find the perfect O-inducing mix for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
