Why use sexual lubricants

Any sex act or sensual session with an adult toy can be an incredible experience with the right sex lubricant. Not only a product for women who have trouble lubricating on their own, the use of a personal lubricant actually makes erotic pastimes more enjoyable and comfortable for anyone, regardless of how well they may lubricate naturally. These slick, smooth formulas help both toys and partners slide in and out easily, ensuring there is no irritating "drag" or dryness to distract from the fun. When you are looking to buy a personal lubricant from an online adult shop like SexToys.com.au, there are a few tips you should keep in mind to find the best sex lubricant for your personal needs.

There are more or less two types of lubricants; once the base is established, manufacturers will add special twists like cooling or warming to spice things up. Silicone based lubricants have liquid silicone as the base of their formula - the benefits of this type of personal lubricant is that it is very long lasting, will hold up to play in the water (like hot tubs or pools) and is a great choice for backdoor play as it won't "dry up" and leave the user having to apply more in a hard to reach place. The downsides to selecting to buy a silicone personal lubricant is that it can be a little harder to clean up because it resists water, and it can't be used with silicone or cyberskin toys because they will react with the silicone in the lubricant. Water based lubricants are, unsurprisingly, water based and a great all-around choice for anyone looking for an all-purpose sex lubricant - it cleans up quickly with soap and water and can be used with any adult toy. The downsides to buying a water based lubricant is that it can sometimes become less effective over longer sex sessions, requiring that more be added to maintain the glide.

When using a sex lubricant for intimacy with a partner, opting to buy a specialty lube - such as a warming, cooling or flavored variety - can really intensify your lovemaking and, in the case of flavored personal lubricant, make oral sex more fun. There is also a specialised anal lube. In our personal lubricant section, you will also find another must-have bedroom accessory for sale: sex toy cleaner.
