How to Buy Silicone Sex Lubes

How to Buy Silicone Sex Lubes

There are only three things you need to consider when purchasing sex lubricants. One, is it slippery enough? Two, does it last long enough or at least for the duration of your sexual intercourse? And three, does it irritate your skin? For as long as your chosen lube can do these things, you are good to go. But how many of the lubricants in the market actually deliver?

Sex lubricants come in different types including water-based, silicone-based and oil-based. But it is silicone that is the Porsche of all lubricants. Silicone based lubricants are made from dimethicone, a synthetic substance that come in either liquid or gel format. Considering the fact that silicone is already liquid, it requires fewer additives to make premium lubricants. Unlike water-based lubricants which dry out quickly and become sticky during sex, silicone sex lubricants are silkier and last longer. This makes them excellent for prolonged penetrative sex, especially anal. When used for massage and masturbation, silicone sex lube leaves your skin with a soft velvety feeling that will last for days.

Silicone sex lubricants offer a greater experience during sex. They offer a slicker slide without risking too much slickness that can cause you to lose the most important sexual friction that causes sensation.  You only need a few drops and you are ready to bliss your way into multiple smooth orgasms. Silicone is also water-friendly meaning you can enjoy a well lubricated steamy shower sex without it washing off.   And once the fun is over, just wash up your body, sex toys and sheets with soapy warm water.

And like all other lubes, silicone lubricants come in different sensations. Knowing what will work best for you can be challenges. This guide is meant to help you choose the right silicone based lubricant for you and your partner.

How to Choose Silicone Sex Lubricants

·        Think About the Ingredients

While dimethicone is the main silicone lube ingredient, other additives and preservatives are included to give the lube a longer shelf life and increased sensation. Dimethicone is naturally slippery and require very few additives. This makes silicone a hypoallergic lubricant hence, ideal for people with highly sensitive skin. However, some of the additives and preservatives used can irritate your skin or cause pH imbalances when absorbed.  Avoid silicone sex lubes with the following ingredients:

-         Polyquaternium-15: This ingredient is a strong preservative also used in cosmetics. It can irritate your rectal lining and increases HIV replication during intercourse.

-         Parabens (Methylparaben and Propylparaben): These preservative are also common in cosmetics. When absorbed by the body, they metabolise in the beast and ovaries. Several studies have linked them to breast and ovarian cancers especially in women. 

-         Nonoxynol-9: This ingredient is mostly available in spermicide silicone sex lubricants. When used regularly, it can irritate the vaginal walls increasing your risk of contracting infections and STDs.

-         Menthol: this ingredient is commonly found in cooling and tingling silicone sex lubricants. If you have problem with vaginal dryness, avoid menthol as it can worsen the situation.  

·        Think About the Sex Toys to Use

Don’t use silicone sex toys with silicone sex lube. Silicone lube tends to react with silicone toys damaging the surface of the toy. If you are planning to play with silicone sex-toys, stick to water based lubricants. On the same note, do not store silicone toys in contact with each other. Dimethicone is a highly bonding chemical; contact encourages bonding which damage the smooth surface of the toys.  All other sex toys materials can be used with silicone lubricants.

·        Consider the PH Balance

Vaginal pH imbalances make you susceptible to bacterial, yeast and other urinary tract infections.  Choose silicone sex lubricants with a balanced pH level. For vaginal choose 3.8 -4.5 and for anal 5.5-7 to avoid upsetting the balance.

·        Consider Added Advantages

Like all other lubricants, silicone sex lubricants are designed with bonus sensations to intensify stimulation.  Some silicone sex lubricants have climax control properties that are designed to lightly numb the nerve ending of the penis reducing sensitivity. Without maximum sensation, your penis attains a longer lasting erection and delayed ejaculation during intercourse. Some have sensational warming, tingling or cooling properties to increase your pleasure. These increase blood flow to the area of application making for heightened arousal and sensitivity. Others have spermicide; an ingredient designed to kill sperms hence prevent unwanted pregnancies. It is however important to note that spermicide lubricants should not be used frequently as the nonoxynol-9 can irritate the vagina and increase the risk of infections. Make sure to have a more permanent birth control method in place. 

·        Consider the Scents

While silicone sex lubricants never come flavoured, some are scented to include smell sensations in the play. Unless you are allergic to scent, a new fragrance like lavender, strawberry, mint and more can entirely change the excitement in the bedroom. There is something about different scents that calm and excite our sexual senses making for more intense performances. And combining the silky feel of silicone with an erotic scent, you and your partner are set for a gliding of a lifetime. Mix and match different scents to fit your sexual themes and moods. Using a variety of scents keeps things exciting.
