Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Lubricant

Step 1: When and how you will use it

• Vaginal use: Water-based or silicone-based. Avoid oil-based if using a latex condom.
• Anal use: Thick water-based or silicone-based. Dedicated anal lubricants have a denser consistency that lasts longer.
• Sex toys: Water-based (safe for all materials). Never use silicone-based with silicone toys.
• Oral sex: Flavored, water-based, without bitter or artificial-tasting ingredients.
• Bath or shower: Silicone-based only. Water washes away water-based lubricants instantly.

Step 2: Size and budget

• Under 15 EUR: Entry-level water-based for trying out lubrication
• 15-25 EUR: PJUR My Glide, SHUNGA Toko, Eros Hyaluron, BIOglide Plus
• 25-35 EUR: Swiss Navy, EROS Silicone, Eros Aqua 500ml, Just Glide 500ml

Step 3: Sensitivities and allergies

If you have sensitive skin, look for: paraben-free, glycerin-free (glycerin can promote yeast infections in sensitive women), no artificial fragrances. Organic lubricants such as BIOglide are the safest choice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lubricants

Can I use lubricant with a condom?

Yes, but only water-based or silicone-based lubricants with latex condoms. Oil-based lubricants (plant oils, cocoa butter, etc.) degrade latex and eliminate condom protection.

How long does lubricant last?

Water-based lubricants need reapplication every 10-20 minutes. Silicone-based lubricants last 30-60 minutes without reapplication and do not wash off with water.

Can I use any lubricant with a sex toy?

No. Silicone-based lubricants can degrade silicone toys. Always use water-based if the toy is made of silicone. For toys made from ABS plastic, stainless steel, or glass, both types are safe.

Are flavored lubricants safe for vaginal use?

Generally yes, but lubricants containing sugar or glycerin can promote yeast infections in sensitive women. Look for "sugar-free" on the label if you plan to use them vaginally.

What lubricant is safest during pregnancy?

Organic lubricants free from parabens, PEG, and artificial preservatives are the safest option during pregnancy. Joy Division BIOglide Plus is specifically designed for this purpose, though always consult your doctor before use.

How should lubricant be stored?

Most lubricants last 2-3 years unopened and 6-12 months after opening. Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and check the expiry date on the packaging.
