Lubricants are designed so that penises, fingers or toys have it easier to slide into your anus or vagina. Besides that, you can also give nice massages with it, which especially comes in handy when it comes to erotic massages.
The most ordinary massage oils are not suitable for internal use.

Besides that, oil also has a weakening effect on the rubber and, for example, a condom could become porous and tears a lot faster… probably something that you do not want to happen to a condom. Oil also damages rubber outfits and rubber toys. It’s not like it will immediately destroy the outfit, but it does wear down a lot faster.

Basically, there are 3 kinds of lubricants: water based lubricant, oil based lubricant and silicon based lubricant.
There are also mixed lubricants available on based on silicon and water.

You can also get lubricants in powder form. These have to be mixed with water, and you can make this mixture as thick or thin as you want. Because of its compact size, it is also cheaper (from one can, you can make 10 litres of lubricant). This lubricant is water based.

Tip: If you spill silicone based lubricant on a laminate or tile floor or in the shower, it can be dangerously slippery. Use a little washing up liquid or any other detergent to clean it.

Below we highlight the different properties from lubricants based on water, oil and silicone. You can make this list as long as you want. Do you miss something in this list? Let us know or post a comment.
