When you use a Vibrator a good lubricant can be essential. But you have heard all the horror stories about how some lubes can melt your favorite Vibrator. And the choices… used to be there was only one choice in a personal lubricant but these days there are so many how do you know what to choose or even to begin to figure it out. Flavored, warming, silicone, water hypoallergenic, or all nature there are almost as many lubes as there are Vibrators to use them with. Maybe you should get a new Vibrator to use with each type of lubricant. You may still be unsure of what lube you like best but you will have a lot of fun with all your new sex toys doing the testing.

This article will give you an overview of the lubricants available and what each does so you can at least make an informed choice instead of just grabbing whatever. The right lubricant can make your time with your Vibrator even more enjoyable then it already is.

Water based lubricants: Water based lubricants are very versatile. They can usually be used with any Vibrator material and with a condom when needed. The negative to this lubricant is that it may dry out fast or get sticky, when that happens, you can reactivate it with water.

Oil based lubricant: An oil based lubricant is very slippery and will not dry out but it does have several drawbacks. The oil based lubes usually come as a thick cream like a petroleum gel or a very thick liquid. These are not recommended for use with your Vibrator for a couple of reasons. The oil can damage latex, jelly and silicone toys and it can gunk up the control pad to your Vibrator.

Silicon based lubricants: Silicone based lubricants can be a lot of fun. They are ultra slippery and will not dry out. You can even use a silicone based lubricant underwater but you cannot use them with a silicone based Vibrator or any silicone based sex toy for that matter. The reason is that silicone adheres to silicone and eats it. Like fresh nail polish will do to the old coat.

Flavored: Flavored lubricants can be fun when used with a partner. There is very little as erotic as licking a flavor off of your lover. When using a flavored lube make sure it is water based and wash it off when you are done as the sugar can cause an infection if you do not.

Warming lubes: MMM there is nothing quite like the heat when your lover softly blows a breath across a warming lubricant and heats up more than the gel.

Natural lubricants: Natural lubes are hypoallergenic, glycerin and paraben free for a more natural choice. They are also usually PH balanced to a woman’s body so they do not cause yeast infections even if not washed off promptly. But you will need to be careful when choosing this type as some are silicone based which is not good for a silicone based Vibrator. If you want to use a natural lubricant get one that is water based.
