Vaseline. Vaseline is one of your best bets, and besides olive/coconut oil, it’s something a lot of people would consider anyways for homemade lube. The good news is, it’s just as safe and effective as you’re thinking it would be. Are you still with me? I know those cons sound a little scary but like all things, some oils are just better for your body than others and it’s important to understand the effects that these ingredients can have. Another win for water here: although there's generally some residue left behind from the non-water ingredients in water lubes, it's generally easy to wash off and it won't ruin your sheets. Oil, on the other hand, is a bit of a nightmare for your upholstery, and should be used sparingly if at all. Now olive oil as lube isn’t recommended unless you are desperate. Hey, it happens! Olive oil will pretty much turn your body into a slip and slide, as it is very smooth and long-lasting.
For use with condoms: It's important to know that most STI and pregnancy protection devices mix with Vaseline like oil and...well, pregnancy protection devices. "They can’t be used with latex condoms, dental dams, latex gloves, cervical caps or diaphragms," says Caitlin V., M.P.H., clinical sexologist for Royal, a vegan-friendly condom and lubricant company. If Vaseline is all you've got, use a non-latex condom. Here's how to use a lube, says Dr. Streicher: “The time to apply lubricant is before you attempt intercourse. You squeeze it on your fingers, and if there’s a penis involved, you apply it liberally to the penis, and to the opening of the vagina [or anus].” It’s important to warm the lube first, she adds: “If you put cold lube on an erection, he might lose it.” Synthetic products may irritate your vagina. They’re also harder to clear out of your body than their natural counterparts. This could lead to a vaginal infection. Products to trySkinsations also has an unscented natural oil blend containing fractionated coconut oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Grape seed Oil, and Golden Jojoba Oil. For sex: People definitely do use it as a lube substitute. But according to Caitlin V., "petroleum-based lubricants like baby oil and Vaseline should only be used as a last resort. Greasy, hard to wash out, and can linger in the body for days after sex, creating an inviting environment for bacteria." There is less infection risk for anal sex, however. When it came to testing, we had a lot to choose from including natural options, CBD versions and even bottles of probiotics. There was an endless supply of interesting options to try but all of the products we selected were of very high quality.
Often, almond oil is used as a last-ditch choice. It definitely works as a lubricant, however, you should know that it can be pretty risky, because if you or your partner has a nut allergy, there’s a high chance that applying almond oil topically–no matter where on your body you apply it–can cause an allergic reaction. If you know for sure neither of you are allergic and you’re desperate for something slippery, this will be fine. However, it’s a good idea to consult with a medical professional before you experiment with applying almond oil to genitals. Conclusion
Silicone-based lubricants last longer than water-based lubes and are safe for all types of condoms.
A lot of homeopathic circles really believe in all the benefits that egg whites have to offer. People who are within these circles not only use egg whites for lube, but also as a means to encourage fertility and to help their ability to conceive. It can be messy when it comes to application, but if you apply it using a dropper of some sort (or just embrace the messiness), using egg whites should be fine. It’s best to apply them at room temperature, in a bowl or other type of vessel. Oils that are Natural Parabens– what are parabens anyway? According to the FDA, “Parabens are a family of related chemicals that are commonly used as preservatives in cosmetic products.” The problem with these chemicals is that they mess with people’s hormones, therefore, increasing your risk for certain cancers. As a precaution, you should stay away from any personal lube that contains parabens. Choose those that specifically state that they don’t include the chemical. The jury is still out on whether these chemicals affect our health, and even the FDA has declared that they are still investigating the issue. There are different types of lubes to choose from to suit all occasions, budgets and needs. These included oil-based, water-based and silicone-based formulas. Not sure which one is right for you? Have a read below. Water-based lubricant Vitamin E is an added vitamin that helps to condition and soften skin, and it gives a lot of massage oils a really nice, soft glide to them," Finn says. Shelf life. Some products may become rancid over time. Carrier oils can oxidize when exposed to heat, light, and air. Some essential oils may also degrade and cause irritation. Pay attention to the expiration date of the oil, and store it as directed.DIY water-based lube: Mix 1 cup of water with 4 teaspoons of cornstarch. Bring this mixture to a slow boil in a saucepan on low or medium heat. Once it’s boiling, stir briskly for 30 seconds, then it should be ready to go–just make sure you allow it to cool before use. You may be wondering about lubricant options beyond the usual drugstore brands. Some lube substitutes are definitely better for your sexy parts than others. And you might be surprised which ones make the cut.
Ok, ok! So, it’s not an oil, but aloe vera is another natural ingredient that has a lot of benefits when used as a personal lubricant. And, I mean, how cool is the name Aloe Cadabra right? Well, number one is that there is nothing like the feel of oil on your genitals! What feels better? A massage with oil or a massage without? With oil right? Well, the same goes for your genitals! Natural oils are also naturally moisturising, long lasting and they can be used for watery sessions too in the bath or shower as they won’t dissipate in water alone. Spermicides: Chemicals in spermicides are often irritating and can kill the good bacteria in your vagina. But spermicides may be necessary for birth control, depending on your contraception method. Water-based lubes are the most common. They are slippery and need to be reapplied regularly. Water-based lubes can be used with sex toys, condoms and diaphragms. Try to avoid water-based lubes that contain glycerin, as this ingredient can cause yeast infections for some people.But, what I find the most important benefit is that they are all natural and don’t contain many of the added ingredients that other lubricants do. A lot of people, myself included until recently, assume that water-based lubricant is the healthiest option as it is made primarily from water. But that isn’t the case. Petroleum or petroleum-based ingredients– It is never a good idea to use petroleum jelly or baby oil as a personal lube (especially when you have much better options). Petroleum can be challenging to get rid of, and they can change the unique pH balance of the vagina, possibly causing bacterial infections like bacterial vaginosis.
