Some people assume that lubricant should only be used when you or your partner are dry. And if you’re unable to get wet, get out the trusty lubricant. But that’s not the main purpose of lube. Sex lubricant is there to protect the sensitive tissues- whether you’re using it for vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Lube is there to protect and enhance. By using a lubricant like our SVibe Water Based Lube, you can ensure better pleasure and better health.
Here at SVibe, we want you to enjoy sex-whether you’re soloing it or enjoying it with a partner. One of the best ways is to use a lubricant. There’s a lot of stigma and misconceptions about needing a lubricant for sex.
What Does Water-Based Lubricant Do?
Obviously, water-based lube is a lubricant that is water-based. But do you know what water-based lubricant actually does?
Just as there’s different kinds of shoes to wear for various activities, there’s different lubes that can be used for different sexual activities. But nothing beats good ol’ water. And we’re not talking water that comes from your kitchen sink.
Water based lubricant is water soluble and is enhanced by natural lubricant, whether it's from your mouth or your nether-regions. A good water-based lubricant shouldn’t need more than a few drops.
Once our water-based lubricant mixes with natural lubricant, it creates a thin wall of protection around tissues. This reduces friction and decreases irritation, making your sex sensual and sensational!
Some people have an issue with the consistency of lube. Our water based lube is a thin consistency and does leave you feeling sticky.
For those that prefer a thicker lube, it’s important that you don’t add more. Adding too much lube can decrease the sensations of your sexual activities. Instead, you might prefer our SVibe Extra Rich Water Based Lube. This thicker formula adds the extra slip and slide you want without feeling heavy or sticking on the skin.
Simply put, water based lubricants are the best for your body, your bedroom, and your toys. Next, you’ll learn how water based lubes compare to other types of lubes on the market.
Water Based Lube vs Silicone Based Lube
Some people advocate for silicone based lube over other types of lubricant, like water based lubes. Silicone based lube is extra slippery, which can be great for anal sex in particular- since the anus doesn’t naturally lubricate on its own.
But the big problem with silicone lubricant is that it doesn’t work with silicone toys. Sex toys can be made with a variety of materials such as glass, acrylic, plastic, stone, and others. The best toys are medical-grade silicone sex toys, like our customer favorite, The Snail Vibe.
The problem is, silicone based lubricant doesn’t mesh well with silicone sex toys. All of the toys at SVibe.com are composed of medical-grade silicone, which warms your body, allowing for seamless and realistic feeling to enhance your sexual experiences.
If you use silicone based lubricant on a silicone toy, it will eat away at the material of your toy. You may not notice it at first, but it will slowly disintegrate the materials, leaving small cuts, nicks, and dips. Not only will this damage ruin the toy you spent a good deal of money on, it also paves the way for bacteria to enter those small cuts.
Water based lubes don’t have that problem. A water based lubricant is meant to emulate the natural lubrication of the body. Only a few drops of our water based lubes and you’ll be slipping and sliding in ecstasy whether it's with a toy or with a partner-or both!
Our SVibe Water Based Lube is perfect for all of the toys we carry, as well as any other sex toys you have in your collection. It will not break down any materials of your toys, nor will it jeopardize your sexual health either.
Water Based Lube vs Oil Based Lubes
As more and more people integrate personal lubricants into their sexcapades, there’s a lot of different lubricants on the market. Many of them offer flavors, warming sensations, or cooling enhancements.
While these types of lubricants can be fun in theory, you’ll need to be careful when you use them. For example, some oil based lubricants don’t work well with a lot of condoms. On average, most people opt for latex condoms. Oil based lubricants do not work with latex condoms. They can create punctures in the condom, causing them to tear or break.
Oil based lubricants may not be good if you or your partner are sensitive to scents, flavors, and other ingredients found in these types of lubricants. You are most likely to get irritation from oil based lubricants as opposed to water based lubes or silicone lubes.
Water-based lubes are better for the body because they’re just like your body. No irritation, no problem.
