FAQs

Can I use silicone lube with a silicone toy?
No, it’s best not to use silicone lube with a silicone toy. Silicone lube and silicone toys have similar chemical composition. The lube can splinter or burn your toy with use over time.
Similarly, you shouldn’t use oil-based lubricants with latex and rubber toys or condoms.
Is it safe to use a warming or cooling lube?
Yes, warming or cooling lube tends to be safe, especially if they’re unscented. The main purpose of the lube is to warm or cool down when you rub it between your fingers, introducing you to new sensations.
But for particularly sensitive skin, it can cause allergic reactions. Do a patch test by trying the lube on your hand or another less sensitive point first.
What is the best use of flavored lube?
You should use flavored lube for external application or oral sex. This type of lube comes in various flavors, from strawberry, and watermelon to chocolate. They leave a pleasant taste in the mouth, so it’s popular for oral use.
How do I find the right lube for me and my partner?
Lube comes in all kinds of flavors, bases, and consistency. The toy you’re using determines the kind of lube you should buy as well. Make sure to never mix lube with the same chemical base as the toy.
You can buy a sample package first if you’re unsure about the brand. Dab a little on your wrist before you use it on your sensitive first. You will know if it’s the right lube if it doesn’t cause any irritation.
Are there any organic lubes available?
Yes, brands like SLiquid, Aqua, and Pure Pleasure have organic lubes. These lubes are water-based with little to no parabens, glycerin, and alcohol used. These are vegan-friendly lube brands with a guarantee of no skin irritation.
