Personal Lubricant
Personal Lubricants can be
of many different types.
Mr
Lover Body Lubricant and Massage just happens to be the best
silicon personal lubricant on the market.
Below you will find information on several different
types of personal lubricant.
Water-based personal lubricant
Water-based personal lubricants are water soluble and are the most
widely available personal lubricant on the market. The earliest
water-based lubricants were cellulose or glycerin solutions. Lubricants
containing glycerin may promote or exacerbate vaginal yeast infections
in persons who are susceptible.
Subsequent products have added various agents for spreading, water
retention, and resistance to contamination. The viscosity of these
products can be adjusted by adjusting their water content and
concentration of cellulose (or another gel-forming hydrophilic
ingredient). They have a tendency to dry out during use, but
reapplication of lubricant or application of water is often sufficient
to reactivate them.Because water-based personal lubricants absorb into
the skin and evaporate they eventually will dry out leaving the residue
derived from the other ingredients in the formulation. Particularly
sugar (or glycerin) and other chemicals and preservatives create a
sticky residue and associated sensation, often associated with an
unpleasant taste and smell. Some of these water based personal
lubricants require constant reapplication and leave a residue on the
skin, which is, however, easily removed with water. Newer generation
water-based lubricants are formulated with natural skin moisturizers
such as carrageenan, eliminating the sticky residue post-evaporation.
Carrageenan in some formulations such as Bioglide have been shown to be
potent inhibitors of
human papillomavirus infection in vitro.Typical water-based lubricants
are incompatible with many sex acts that occur in water (such as in a
bathtub, pool, or hot tub) as they can be dissolved or
dispersed in water.
Oil-based personal lubricant
Many women, especially perimenopausal women (starting as early as 35–40
years old), menopausal women (50+ years old), and women with vulvodynia
(inflammation of the vulvar nerves that can cause burning, stinging,
rawness, itching, etc.), have been frustrated with over-the-counter
(OTC) lubricants causing irritation. At the September 2008 North
American Menopause Society convention in Orlando, FL, many physicians
confirmed disappointments with the current OTC lubricants, especially
for these patient populations. The first and only FDA-cleared oil-based
lubricant intended for vaginal use is Élégance Woman’s Lubricant, which
is a proprietary mixture of ingredients from organic soybeans (Glycine
Willd), safflowers (Carthamus tinctorius L.), and grapeseeds (Vitis
vinifera). It is noteworthy that this lube contains certified Organic
ingredients and in testing actually decreased the common vaginal
bacteria and yeast.
Organic personal lubricant
In the United States the first certified organic personal lubricant
labeled with the USDA organic seal was Nude Personal Lubricant, which
was created in 2004 by Applied Organics.The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) regulates lubricant as a medical device rather than
as a cosmetic. Because of strict FDA guidelines for medical devices,
Buddy Morel said his company was told its product couldn’t carry a USDA
seal for Nude Personal Lubricant—and that it should be very careful
about using “organic” anywhere on its label.
Silicone-based personal lubricant
Silicone-based lubricants possess many unique qualities which make them
very different from other personal lubricants. Silicone-based lubricants
are not so quickly absorbed by skin so they can remain useful longer.
Various products have varying characteristics, quality and performance.
Not all silicone-based lubricants are certified latex-safe, so the user
must always check the label and use as directed.Silicone-based
lubricants are usually not recommended for use with silicone-based sex
toys, though at least one manufacturer says use with their silicone-
based products is rarely problematic. The lubricants dissolve the
surface of the toys, making them sticky and causing them to slowly
disintegrate. Pre- lubricated condoms often have silicone lubricants and
should therefore be checked before using with silicone-based sex toys.
Specialty personal lubricants
Warming lubricants cause sensation of warmth. Breathing on these types
of lubricants can increase the effect. Some lubricants are flavored to
enhance oral contact.
Anal-specific personal lubricant
Many lubricants are safe for anal sex, but there are products that are
specifically designed to enhance enjoyment of anal sex. Often, this is
simply a thicker gel rather than a liquid. This thicker consistency is
preferred because it helps the lubricant stay in place. Some lubricants
contain benzocaine, an anesthetic.
However, the use of any numbing agent for anal penetration is not
recommended as a lack of sensation makes accidental injury more likely.
Some anal lubricants, such as Astroglide Shooters, are not anesthetic
but are conveniently packaged for ease of application. Products
containing benzocaine will numb all body parts that they come in contact
with.
Male masturbation personal lubricant
Some lubricants are designed specifically for male masturbation. Many of
these are lipid-based for durability and quality of sensation at the
expense of latex compatibility. Applied to the penis, these lubricants
can increase the pleasure of masturbation, stimulating the penis with
fingers, hand or fist.
