Lubricants
Today
there are a variety of personal lubricants available to meet almost
any individual taste. Some people prefer thicker rather than thinner,
some people prefer water based over silicone based, and some people
are loyal to particular manufacturers and are not even willing to
try anything new. We recognize this and hope to give our customers
a brief description of those products available so that they can make
an informed decision. Most lubricants fall into three categories:
Oil Based, Water Based, Silicone Based and Flavored. Descriptions
of the four are as follows:
Oil-Based
Lubricants
Oil-based
lubricants are not latex friendly, and may cause the latex in both
condoms and latex sex toys to degrade. It is recommended that if you
use an oil-based lube while engaging in a sexual act that you use
non-latex products like Polyurethane condoms. However, the advantage
of oil-based lubes is that they generally last longer and they are
relatively easy to clean off.
Water-Based
Lubes
Water-based
lubricants are a key component in the practice of safe sex. Unlike
oil or petroleum based products, water-based lubricants are latex
friendly, which means they will not degrade latex. When used in concert
with latex condoms it can help a partner achieve an additional level
of comfort while still not degrading the condom in any way.
Silicone
Based Lubricants
Like water-based
lubricants silicone based lubricants are latex friendly, and will
not encourage latex to tear. The principal difference between silicone
based lubricants and a water-based lubricant is that it never dries.
The inclusion of silicone in the formula allows the lubricant to remain
slick, even under water. For those seeking a long-lasting product,
then a silicone based lubricant is the safe alternative to oil or
petroleum based products that can degrade latex.
Flavored
Lubricants
Flavored
lubricants are water-based and latex-friendly! With a variety of great
flavors to choose from, flavored lubricants are extremely popular.
They do however have a tendency to get somewhat tacky but that’s
because the same stuff that makes them taste good also causes them
to get a bit sticky. But the trade off is, they can be a lot of fun
to lick off your partner!
Condoms
It
would be irresponsible for HerSexToyBox.com not to promote safe sex.
For that reason we offer a variety of condoms to match almost every
taste, style, and size. For those who have an allergic reaction to
latex we also offer poly-urethane condoms. (They can also be used
with latex sex toys to prevent any allergic reaction.) We think the
saying, “No Glove – No Love” is a good motto for
everyone to follow. Be Safe!
