Love It or Leave It: Man's Grease
Lubrication during sex is a must sometimes, but many types have a runny consistency, which can end up dripping onto your sheets and not much staying where you need it to be. I guess that's why Man's Grease was born. It's a thick and "luxurious cream" so it'll stay put on your privates, but it's made with mineral oil so you don't want to use this lube with latex condoms since it'll deteriorate the material.

For sex to feel good, a woman has to be warmed up. That's why foreplay is so important — it gets her juices flowing. But sometimes she may need a little help from a bottle, so let's see how well you know the brands of these lubricants!
K-Y Brand: Yours+Mine Couples Lubricant
I've heard of his and her robes or his and her bicycles, but now there's his and her lube? I actually think it's a brilliant idea, and now it's coming straight to us from our trusted friends at K-Y. It's called K-Y Yours+Mine ($16).
Should You Avoid Lubricants That Contain Silicone?
I'm a huge fan of water-based lubricants since they're so easy to find (KY Jelly and Astroglide are sold at nearly every drugstore). They're also safe to use with condoms and sex toys, they are fairly inexpensive, and they wash off easily with water. I try to avoid ones that contain glycerin though, since they can be yeast infections waiting to happen.
Lubricants: Oil, Water, and Silicone Based
Having sex doesn't always feel as amazing as we think it should, and that's where lubricants come in handy. A few drops on either partner will make things glide along smoothly when the woman isn't creating enough of her own natural juices. There are so many different kinds to choose from and since I've already told you about glycerin and the ingredients in many lubricants that can cause yeast infections, why don't I now tell you about the differences between ones that are oil, water, and silicone based?

Finding a personal lubricant that you like is a tough quest, since there are so many different kinds to choose from. There are silicone-based lubes, water-based ones, and many contain glycerin to make them even more slippery.

Even though it is fun, foreplay isn't just for fun; it also has an important purpose. All that kissing and touching gets a woman warmed up so her juices are flowing. If you aren't sexually aroused, sex can be painful.

Personal Lubricant in Mousse Form
If you're taking hormonal birth control, allergy medication, or just have a difficult time getting aroused, you're probably not creating enough natural lubricant down there, in which case bottled lube could be your new best friend! Some contain silicone, some are water-based, and some are oil-based, but they all have one thing in common — they're liquid or gels, which means they can be drippy, messy, and difficult to apply.
If you can relate, then you may be interested in this new form of personal lubricant that makes so much more sense.
