Latex Lubricated
The Difference Between Oil, Water and Silicone Based Vaginal Lubricants
When it comes to vaginal lubricants, there are quite a wide variety of choices available to consumers. For the purposes of this article, we will not be taking a look at any kind of everyday vaginal lubricants (which combat against uncomfortable dryness that can sometimes occur, particularly in menopausal women). Instead, we will be looking at vaginal lubricants intended for use during sex.
There are three basic types of sexual vaginal lubricants. There are oil based, Water Based and silicone based vaginal lubricants, each with its own set of unique advantages and drawbacks. First, we will take a look at oil based vaginal lubricants.
Lubes with an oil base should pretty much be avoided at all costs. For those who use diaphragms, cervical caps or condoms on a regular basis, oil based vaginal lubricants pose a pretty serious threat. The oil in them can break down latex, which means that there is an increased risk of condom breakage and the aforementioned birth control forms can be seriously affected, even rendered useless.
Additionally, oil based vaginal lubricants can leave a thin film of grease on the skin, which can be irritating to a lot of people. This leads to small cuts on the genitals, which then get infested with bacteria. To be sure, this is not a pretty picture to think about, so you probably just want to stay away from all vaginal lubricants with an oil base.
Water based vaginal lubricants, on the other hand, are extremely safe and do not have any funky reactions to latex. If anything, they reduce the risk of condom breakage by cutting back on some of the tear inducing friction. Water based vaginal lubricants are available in gel or jelly form and are extremely affordable. However, after prolonged use, they tend to dry out and become a little gummy. To rejuvenate gummy lube, all you have to do is sprinkle a little water on the area and it will be as good as when you first put it on.
Silicone based vaginal lubricants are the final type, and are arguably the best available. Unlike water based vaginal lubricants, it is not easily absorbed by the skin and will not dry out during use. Plus, they are safe to use with condoms and all sorts of birth control. The only potential drawback that they have is staining, so be careful with your nice sheets.
