Lubido Original Water Based Paraben Free Intimate Gel Lube - 250ml

Product Information

When being intimate, the last thing you should be thinking about is harmful chemicals in your body. Sliquid Organics Silk Lubricant’s silicone and aloe vera-based formula is free of any unwanted additives and is safe to use with rubber, plastic, and latex. Oil-based lubes are usually made using natural oils such as vitamin E or coconut oil. They’re long-lasting and waterproof like silicone. They help with more severe dryness, says Dr. Eilber, but they are not compatible with latex condoms, and they could stain bedding and clothing. This natural, water-based personal lubricant is free of fragrances, dyes, glycerin, and parabens. Plus, it has an easy-to-use pump and testers love how long it lasts (not to mention, the classy, discreet label). Unfortunately, since it is silicone-based, it isn’t compatible with silicone sex toys; it can cause them to deteriorate over time. If that’s a dealbreaker for you, we recommend our best water-based lube, LOLA’s Personal Lubricant. Our Hybrid fuses the best of water based lubricants with a touch of silky silicone to create a powerhouse that's velvety smooth and conditioning.

Lube can be applied to a sex toy, condom, or directly onto your own body or your partner’s body. The recommended amount will depend on the type of lube you’re using. For water-based lube, you may want to be more generous; whereas with silicone-based lube, you won’t need too much to reap the benefits. Aloe Cadabra’s Natural Personal Lube is a unique aloe vera-based lube free from parabens, propylene glycol, and glycerin. This lube is vegan, edible, and comes in multiple fun flavors. It's made with 95% organic aloe vera and it contains vitamin E, so in addition to being safe for your body, it helps to reduce painful intercourse and relieves vaginal dryness. It’s a two-in-one deal as it acts as a personal lubricant and a vaginal moisturizer. If you’ve already switched over to natural deodorant and other gentler products in your medicine cabinet and makeup bag, you might want to go a step further and replace your personal lubricant too. After all, the last thing you want to worry about while getting intimate with a partner or on your own is irritation. The good news is, there are plenty of natural lubricants on the market to try.Isabel Vasquez RD, LDN is a registered dietitian and freelance health and nutrition writer.

For penetrative sex with a condom, we recommend Lube Life’s Water-Based Personal Lubricant.

A 2012 study even concluded that this lube is one of the safest out there, which is especially important during pregnancy.Silicone-based lubes are long-lasting and slippery, which means you won’t have to pause mid-session to reapply. We love Pink’s Silicone Lubricant because it has the long-lasting benefits of silicone without any potentially harmful additives like parabens or glycerin. The other benefit of silicone-based lube is that it’s safe to use in a bath or pool since it’s water resistant. It can be used with latex condoms or for solo sex. However, silicone-based lubes aren’t safe to use with silicone sex toys. Besides the base ingredients of oil, water, or silicone, lubes often have other ingredients to enhance their function. Aloe vera is a common one that provides natural lubrication and moisturization. Vitamin E is another commonly added ingredient with similar benefits to aloe vera.
