What is a water-based lubricant?

A water-based lubricant is a product responsible for moistening the mucous membranes of the vagina or anus in order to facilitate penetration by a penis or a sex toy. The use of this type of intimate gel may be particularly indicated in the case of concern for intimate dryness.

This type of intimate gel is called "water-based" as opposed to silicone-based lubricants and oil-based lubricants, for example.

What are the other types of intimate lubricants?

Among the variety of lubricants, you can find several intimate gels with various compositions:

• Silicone-based lubricant: this type of lubricant is based on the presence of silicones in the composition of the product. Found in the form of gel, cream or grease, silicone-based lubricants are resistant and do not penetrate the skin. Some condoms are also sometimes already covered in this type of lubricant;

• Water-based lubricant: in gel or fluid form, this type of intimate lubricant generally contains more than 80% water as well as certain moisturising components;

• Oil-based lubricant: there are also grease lubricants that will be formulated on an oil basis to provide a more effective lubricating property. This type of lubricant is not compatible with wearing a male condom (latex);

• Aloe vera-based lubricant (or hyaluronic acid lubricant): moisturising and soothing intimate gel;

• Powdered lubricant: homemade lubricant which, once mixed with water, turns into a gel.

Why use a water-based intimate lubricant?

Using a lubricant during your intimate moments is not only indicated when you or your partner suffer from intimate dryness (anal or vaginal). If the use of an intimate lubricant helps your sexual satisfaction such a product can also be used to spice up your sex life with others and even solo!

Here are some benefits of using a water-based lube for your lovemaking:

• It is suitable for the most sensitive mucous membranes;

• An intimate gel will help limit friction on a condom, thus reducing the risk of it breaking;

• It does not stain, does not stick and is very easy to clean.

Note: being not very resistant, this type of lubricant is less recommended for anal sex as well as for people with a so-called "hard sexuality (double penetration, fist fucking, etc.).

How to use a water-based lubricant?

A water-based lubricant is very easy to use. You just need to take a little product and apply it on the penis or the sex toy or directly at the entrance of the vagina or anus.

Unlike silicone-based lube, water-based lube can dry out quickly. So, do not hesitate to reapply the lubricant frequently during your intimate moments to improve the comfort of penetration if necessary. Keep the intimate gel handy!

The use of a water-based intimate gel is generally compatible with the use of condoms, sex toys or oral sex. Nevertheless, to be certain of this compatibility, refer to the manufacturer's information mentioned on the product sheets.

Although water-based lube is milder, you or your partner may not like it. In the case of a burning or tingling sensation, stop using the product and do not hesitate to consult a doctor.

Note: Due to its formulation, you will not be able to use a water-based lubricant in the shower or in water.
