Hope this helps as a water based lube is the only type to use with condoms.
Popular water-based lubes include:
Astroglide: Maybe the most popular water-based lube out there. It's on the thin side, but nice and slick, and long-lasting. It's also available in many drugstores, which is convenient. If you've never used lube and are just looking to try something out, Astroglide is a great place to start.
Maximus: This is some heavy-duty stuff. Very long-lasting and very thick, this is the lube you'd use if you needed, well, maximum slipperiness. For this reason, it's popular for anal sex. Maximus is what you want to use if you really need to grease up good.
More water-based lubes, silicon-based lubes, and an oil-based lube designed solely for masturbation
O'My: If you're a health nut, this is a great lube for you: it's completely organic, but doesn't sacrifice functionality. If you're worried about all the chemicals in other lubes, O'My's the way to go. Overall, it's similar to Astroglide.
Wet: This one is almost as popular as Astroglide, but Wet is a bit thicker. It's also available in various flavors -- perfect for when you need some added slickness for oral sex.
Slippery Stuff Gel: According to the rumor mill, Slippery Stuff was originally designed to help divers get in and out of tight wetsuits. Somewhere down the line, though, someone discovered that there was a far more interesting use for this wonderful lube. It's thick and very long-lasting, but gets somewhat stringy as it dries. Slippery Stuff Gel is, overall, a pretty good middle-ground between Astroglide and Maximus.
KY Jelly: The world's most famous water-based lube, KY frankly isn't the best. It dries up quicker than better-quality lubes, and gets tacky as it dries. I do not recommend it highly. KY, actually, was designed for medical use. That is, it's designed to facilitate easy entry, and clean up quickly.
I suggest that you stick to lubes that are designed for sex.
Happy lubing  |
