Choosing a Personal Sex Lubricant

There are a number of different intended purpose personal lubricants on the market today, and when it comes to sexual lubricants, it's never been more important to get the personal lubricant that is right for the job.

Personal Lubricants, Sex Toys and Condoms

Most sex toys require the use of an appropriate sex toy lubricant if you want to truly enjoy your sex toy to the fullest. The challenge is that today's modern sex toys are mostly made from latex or a similar material such as Jelee or Cyber skin, and although a personal sex toy lube is recommended, you must be careful to select the right sexual lubricant for the job.

Types of Personal Lubricants

There are basically two types of personal sex lubes for sex, adult toy play, condom use and anal sex.

Oil-based sex lubes
Water-based sex lubes

Personal Sex Lube Guidelines

Never use an oil or petroleum-based personal lubricant product on a sex toy or latex condom. Latex and petroleum do not mix, and when you do try to mix the two you end up with a mess. The oils in oil based sex lubricants deteriorate the latex and reduce the life of your sex toy investment and the sex toy fun it brings you.

Always use a sex toy lubricant intended for sex toy play.

If it doesn't say Water Based Sex Lube on the Sex Lube Label then it isn't a Water Based Personal Lubricant, plain and simple...

So, you ask, "How do you know if your personal lubricant is an oil-based personal lubricant or water-based sex toy and personal lubricant?

If your sexual lubricant doesn't say that it is a water-based lubricant, right on the label, then you can assume that it is an oil or petroleum based personal lubricant.

Oil-Based Personal Lubricant

In the beginning of personal lubricants, there were only oil or petroleum based personal sex lubes on the market. Slowly, something better came along in the way of personal sexual lubrication.

These new water-based sexual lubricants had some great features.

Water-Based Sex Lubes

These new water based sex lubes didn't smell funky. These new water based sex lubes didn't leave stains on sheets.

Best of all these new water-based personal lubricants were non-greasy and cleaned up easily with soap and water.

Unfortunately, these new water-based personal lubricants didn't have the same lubricating or lasting power of the more traditional oil-based sex lubes.

Modern Water Based Personal Lubricants

Today's modern water-based sexual lubricants have all the lubrication qualities of the first generation water based personal lubrication products, but last longer and are even slicker with better lubricating ability than even some oil and petroleum based sex lubes.

If you've ever used KY jelly, Vaseline or some other lubricant along those lines, you are in for a sexual lubricant treat!

These new water-based sex lubricants are a vast improvement over both oil based sex lubes and the earlier water based personal lubricants. You and your sex partner simply will not believe the enhanced sensations you'll get just from changing up your personal lubricant!

Probe Personal Sex Lube

Probe sex lube is an excellent choice when it comes to water based personal lubrication.

When supplemental sexual lubrication is desired, Probe sex lube provides a safe, hygienic solution. Designed to replicate the body's own sexual lubrication, Probe sex lube is tasteless, odorless, exceptionally slippery, and composed primarily of water.

To avoid irritation, Probe sex lube contains no perfumes, colorants, nonoxynol-9, or other harsh chemicals. All ingredients are natural, synthetic, or plant-derived. Probe sex lube undergoes no routine tests on animals.

Since Probe sexual lubricant is water-based, it does no harm to latex, rubber or synthetic materials. Therefore Probe sex lube is safe to use with condoms and makes an excellent sex toy lube. With its non-toxic composition and neutral pH, Probe sex lube is safe enough to swallow and gentle as tears.

Why are there still Oil and Petroleum Based Personal Lubricants on the Market...

That's a good question and the answer simple. There is a place for everything, especially when it comes to personal lubrication for sex play.

There are still oil based sex lubricants that are superior to many of the water based sex lubes out there, and some people just like the feeling of oil and petroleum based personal lubricant.

Silicone Lubricants

Today, some of the very best personal lubricants are silicone based, and like the oil and petroleum based sex lubes, silicone sex lubes should not be used on silicone based sex toys.

An excellent choice in silicone based personal lubrication is WET Platinum.

When only the best personal lubricant will do, use WET Platinum. A premium formula sex lube that out lasts all others and won’t harm latex. This special silicone blend sex lube provides an amazing feel like liquid silk and it does it without turning sticky during the heat of the action.

We all know there isn't anything worse than a good slippery sex lube gone bad by going sticky!

Flavored Personal Lubricants

Yes, you can even buy flavored sex lubricants. Sex Sweet Lube is a long lasting, slippery, flavored lubricant you can count on and trust.

Sex Sweet sex lube is a water-soluble, greaseless, colorless and non-toxic flavored lubricant that will not stain or harm fabric, plastics, condoms, silicone or rubber.

Last Word on Sexual Lubrication Products

The last point to be made about the different personal sex lubricants that are available today, is this.

When it comes to personal lubrication for sex play, you pretty much get what you pay for.

Cheap Sex Lubes

The more you pay for your personal lubricant, the higher the quality, the less you need for truly sensational lubrication and the longer it lasts. Our advice to you is "Don't skimp on a cheap sex lubricant!" It just aint worth the price, the price of cheap sex lube being an anti climatic sexual experience... and no one wants that!

When deciding on a personal lubricant preference, it's always best to try a variety of sex lubricants in smaller sizes. Once you determine which of the personal lubricants you prefer, you can go ahead and purchase an appropriate sized container.

If you are like most people, you will end up with a selection of different personal sex lubes, each for different types of sex play and different sex occassions.

Oh, and go for the large bottle a lube once you've decided on a brand, because volume is where the best deals on personal lubrication lie.
