Buy Personal Lubricants
From LoveToKnow Buy
Many couples buy personal lubricants to increase the pleasure of their sexual experience. Take a few minutes to learn a bit more about lubricant options; your partner is sure to thank you for it!
Lubricant Options
Personal lubricants come in a range of different formulas; knowing how the formulas work can help you choose the best one for your needs.
Water-Based
Water-based lubricants are generally the most common lubricants. They are easy-to-use, relatively inexpensive, and won't stain unless coloring has been added. They may not be as long-lasting as some other types of lubricant since they can dry up during use. They are easy to clean up; in fact, in many cases clean-up won't be necessary as the lubricant will just be absorbed into the skin.
Oil-Based
Some oil-based lubricants include petroleum jelly and mineral oil. The most important thing to remember is that they should never be used with latex condoms as they can cause the latex to break. Oil-based lubricants may also cause yeast infections in women, can be difficult to wash off, and have a tendency to stain. However, they do provide a slippery, non-sticky experience.
Silicone-based
Silicone-based lubricants provide an especially slippery feel. They are useful for sexual activities in pools, showers, and other water sources because they don't wash away like water-based lubricants. They are typically more expensive than other lubricants, but a single bottle can last longer because less is required with each use. Silicone-based lubricants can stain sheets or any other surface they may happen to get on.

Special Features in Lubricants
Many couples buy personal lubricants for more enhancement than simple lubrication. Today’s lubricants offer a range of special features to choose from.
Flavors
Flavored lubricants can add a sense of fun in the bedroom. You can find everything from banana to piña colada to watermelon. Sliquid, Wet, and O'My are a few of the brands featuring flavors. Single-use packets of flavored lubricants are available for added variety, like the selection from Rain.
Warming
Warming lubricants create a warming sensation for increased pleasure, especially for women. The warmth can also help a couple relax and may feel more natural.
Massage
These dual-purpose products allow couples to seamlessly move from the massage to whatever may come afterwards. K-Y Touch Massage is one available brand.
Desensitizing
A small number of desensitizing lubricants exist for the purpose of decreasing stimulation and prolonging sex. Sliquid and Durex both offer desensitizing products.
Where to Buy Personal Lubricants
Personal lubricants are sold in drugstores, and in the pharmacy areas of nearly every grocery store and discount retailer. They will be located near the condoms, feminine cleansing products, and similar personal care items. Some people prefer to buy personal lubricants online because they feel embarrassed about facing the cashier with a seemingly sexual purchase or don't want to explain the purchase while shopping with the kids. Personal lubricants are nothing to be ashamed of; people of all ages and from all walks of life use them every day. However, shopping online will provide a larger selection of lubrication products. The following vendors sell personal lubricants online:
- Drugstore.com
- Walgreens.com
- Amazon.com
- CheapLubes.com
- SafeSense
- Undercover Condoms
- RipnRoll.com
- Condoms Express
- CondomDepot.com
- Condomania
Online Shopping Tips
Most of these online stores feature a similar selection of lubricants. Therefore, shoppers can shop around to find the best prices and shipping costs. They may also wish to consider what other products the vendors offer to consolidate shipping; buyers may want to pick up some aspirin from Drugstore.com or condoms from Undercover Condoms when they place an order. Stores specializing in condoms, lubricants, and other sexual products use the utmost discretion in shipping items, so no one but the recipient will know what's in a box when it arrives.
