Here are a few basic guidelines you should learn to prolong the life of your vibrator. ![]() How to pick a lubricant type for your new toy. We carry silicone lubricants, oil-based lubricants, all natural lubricants, organic lubricants and water-based lubricants. |
Water-based Water-based lubricants are truly the most versatile. They come in jelly or liquid forms, and are condom compatible. Water-based lubricants can get sticky or dry out faster than silicone lubes. Good water-based lubricants: Astroglide, Liquid Silk, Maximus Lubricant Oil-based Oil-based lubricants are very slippery and won't dry out. They generally come in a thick oil or petroleum form. However, oil-based lubes aren't latex condom compatible. They're recommended for anal sex with a trusted, tested partner, or for use with non-latex anal toys. We don't suggest it for use with vibrators as it can gunk up the control pad, rendering the toy useless. Oil-based lubricants erode latex, jelly and rubber toys as well (silicone and hard-shelled plastic are okay). A good oil-based lubricant: Doc Johnson Anal Lube Silicone-based Silicone-based lubricants are fantastic multi-purpose lubes. They're incredibly slippery, won't dry out and are condom-compatible. You can even use them under water. Disadvantages? Silicone-based lubricants break down silicone sex toys. Some people find the ultra slippery sensation doesn't feel quite like natural lubrication (water-based lubricants emulate the feeling of the body's own moisture much better). A good silicone-based lubricant: Pink Flavored Flavored lubricants add a sweet flavor to oral delights. Many of these concoctions used to be too sticky to deal with, but in recent years manufacturers have learned to make flavored lubricants work just as well as traditional lube. Be careful when choosing flavored lubricants, as high sugar content can cause vaginal infections. Warming Warming lubricants add a soft, sensual heat to lovemaking. The ones we carry are water-based and compatible with condoms. A warming lube can add new sensations and make penetration more comfortable. Natural Natural lubricants are hypoallergenic, and glycerin- and paraben-free. These lubricants are pH balanced for the female body, meaning they won't cause yeast infections. These lubricants are condom safe and can be either silicone or water-based.
