When it comes to lube, most people just go for the one that looks the best on the shelf. However, it’s always better to pick the best rather than just an ok lube.
In this article, we will go into what the best silicone lubes are, along with some information on picking the right lube. Read on to learn more about silicone lube and how to find the best one for you.
How to Find the Best Silicone Lube
When you’re looking for a good silicone lube, there are a few small things you need to keep in mind. There’s not as much as with sex toys, but there are still some important factors that are going to make your purchasing decision a lot easier.
Lubrication
Some lubes focus more on providing thorough lubrication while others try to leave as much of the stimulation intact as possible. Depending on what you’re going to use it for, keep this in mind when buying your lube.
Allergies
Obviously, if you’re allergic to things like parabens and glycerine, then get a lube that doesn’t contain these substances. This is also the case if you have sensitive skin and it’s best to go with one that won’t irritate you.
Extra ingredients
If you’re looking for a vegan lube or want a lube that is extra moisturizing and contains things like aloe vera and vitamin E, then this is all possible. If you want some unique ingredients in your lube then this is definitely something to take into account.
Extra features
If you want something different then there are options like lubes that provide a warming sensation, for example. Sometimes features are great for mixing things up but sometimes they don’t really add anything to the experience. Certainly something to think about when selecting your lube.
