Search the best lubricant, especially when one is not familiar with the products in the category, can lead to despair. Where do I begin? What is the best option for beginners? What feeling will I get with each of them? These are all perfectly reasonable questions that we seek to answer.

Basic guide to find the best lubricant

To begin with, we can do the opposite process of choosing the best lubricant. That is, we can rule out some that do not meet what we believe to be optimal. For starters, we always recommend natural lubricants, made with ingredients that will respect your skin and mucous membranes. We recommend that you 'run away' from products with chemicals such as parabens, propylene glycol, phthalates and glycerin. The reason is that they can cause precisely the opposite effect to what you intended when using it. That is, they end up drying out the area, instead of favoring a lubrication compatible with the natural one. In addition to that, they can irritate the area, and even cause infections. Be very careful also with the lubricants that include spermicides, especially harmful to the skin. Forget this type of product if you want to slip and enjoy more. The general rule is that the more natural, the better.

Main types of lubricant

Of course, there is no better universal lubricant, that everyone likes as if it were a croquette. For example, those of water based they are the most ‘basic’ so to speak. They tend to be less slippery than other types, but can be used with condoms and toys. In addition, they do not stain and are cleaned quite easily. As against, we could point out that they are less durable than other options, although there is always the option of reusing them. The other great typology is the lubricants of oil base. Its strong points are the duration, that they are more slippery (that's why they are very good for anal sex) and they can be used underwater. On the other side of the scale you have to put that they are not usually compatible with condoms and toys, and are more difficult to clean.
