Searching for good vaginal lubricants is a job that is necessary but does not have to be a chore. These days there are so many vaginal lubricants to choose from that picking the perfect one takes a little research, but when you do have the right one, it will be well worth your effort in the bedroom.



First of all, if you are searching for vaginal lubricants that will be specifically for vaginal use, make sure that the ones you choose do not contain sugars or glycerin. These ingredients can alter the pH of the vagina, and this can easily make the area more susceptible to yeast infections, which are incredibly uncomfortable, itchy, and painful.

When browsing through the wide selections of vaginal lubricants, notice the ones that are made with oils, the oil based lubricants. Do not ever use these as vaginal lubricants! First of all, these are not latex friendly, and they will coat the vaginal area with oil which can again throw off the delicate pH balance of the area. Oil based lubricants are good for men who need some lubricants for masturbating, and that is about it.

Water based vaginal lubricants are probably the best lubricants to use vaginally, because of the water being so close to nature. These vaginal lubricants are safe to use with toys that are made of silicone or latex, and these vaginal lubricants are great for sensitive skin and for people who are allergic to the ingredients in the other kinds of vaginal lubricants. Water based vaginal lubricants do dry out quicker than the other kinds of vaginal lubricants, so you will need to re apply this kind more often.

Silicone based vaginal lubricants are not recommended for vaginal use much, simply because like the oil based lubricants, these can coat the vaginal area and create grounds for infection. These vaginal lubricants will stay on longer without drying out, so there is less of a need to re apply them. The silicone vaginal lubricants are silky, smooth, and help the gliding action needed to maintain activities that vaginal lubricants were designed to help with.
