6 Clean Lubes to Enhance Your Sexual Pleasure
Oh Baby, Baby...
Great sex doesn’t have to be difficult or uncomfortable, especially when you bring lube into the intimate moments. The FDA doesn’t require testing of personal lubricants which means you can find some pretty non-sexy ingredients in conventional lubes. Let that sink in, are you even surprised at this point??
These toxic ingredients can include synthetic fragrance and colors, synthetic flavors, parabens, propylene glycol, and petrochemicals; all of which are on Oh Daisey’s No List. So let’s see what better options we have!
Water vs. Oil based Lube
The difference between the two are the ingredients within them. This affects their texture and the way in which they can be used to enhance pleasure or reduce discomfort. If you are using condoms, you’ll definitely want to go with water or aloe-based lube vs oil which can break down latex and cause breakage or tears.
Breaking Down the Causes
Before we go to the five best personal lubricants, let’s find out first some causes why it’s so difficult for most of us to get the quality sleep that we need.
Some common causes of why our bodies might not be naturally lubricating are Estrogen which is your bodies hormone that helps maintain the vagina’s lubrication, thickness, and elasticity. This can happen around your cycle leading up to your period. Low levels of estrogen can cause thinning, inflammation of the vaginal walls, and drying.
Cold and allergy medications, some antidepressants, and Sjogren syndrome can also be other factors contributing to vaginal dryness.
Best Water based Lubricants for Better Sex
Water based lube (WB) usually has a hydrating formula to hydrate intimate areas and works quickly to relieve any dryness. It typically feels more natural to oil which can feel thicker in viscosity. Water and Aloe based lube is the only form of lubricant you can use with condoms and all toys.
