A Slippery Guide To Lube

Moist, slippery, wet, gooey, sticky, tasty, a lifesaver! These are merely a few words to describe one of the most important and simple sex aides: LUBRICANTS. Despite being a constant and massive seller in the adult industry (plus all major supermarkets & Boots), you’d be surprised how many out there do not know the varied differences this liquid substance comes in. We break it down into 5 main categories so that the next time you run out, you’d pop down to Vibez with confidence in exactly the lube you need to make sure all gears are running smoothly.

 

The king of lubes would have to be water-based lubricants! It is ideal for vaginal, male masturbation, and perfect for use with sex toys.

○ Made from water, water based lubes can be used with any material and offer a light, natural feel when used.

○ Water-based lubes won't stain the bed sheets, they are 100% safe to use with condoms, and they won’t interfere with contraception. Also important to note, water-based won’t muddy the surface of your ever faithful vibrator – something that’s VERY significant for you lovely ladies (and gentlemen) out there to know.

○ A couple of minor downsides would be that it will eventually dry as it’s absorbed through the skin. Although, it can be reinvigorated with a spritz of water or saliva, or better yet, get the largest size available as you can never have too much. Also, it could possibly leave you feeling sticky in the aftermath.
