Choosing the right personal lubricant can make the difference between a comfortable and an uncomfortable experience.
Many people buy the first one they find without knowing that there are different types depending on the practice, skin sensitivity or use with toys.
In this guide we explain how to choose the ideal personal lubricant based on what you are looking for and what mistakes to avoid.
💧 Water-based lubricant: the safest option

🔥 Silicone lubricant: longer lasting
If you're looking for a longer-lasting experience, silicone lubricant is a good alternative.
