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.

Does Soap Make Good Lubrication?
Sex in the shower or bath is definitely safe, but it's not exactly the most comfortable way to get it on, especially for a woman. The water washes away any natural lubrication she might have, so you'll have to use a lube in a tube.
What about soap, you might ask?

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.
