Water based lube

Sex is wonderful in nature, but when we use some erotic cosmetic products, the pleasure can be intensified to reach limits that we had never imagined. Lubes play a very important role in passionate encounters, as they make your relationships much softer, more sensitive and more pleasurable.

Below, we are going to tell you all the secrets about water-based lubes and we are going to show you the best models that you can find in Zensual, your trusted sexshop.

How does a water-based lube work?

A water-based lubricant is an intimate gel whose main ingredient is water. This makes its texture very light, smooth, natural, easy to clean and does not leave stains on clothes. These lubes are designed to allow women and men to have smoother and more pleasurable sexual relations.

Because it is a water-based lube, it evaporates much more quickly than silicone-based gels. Therefore, on some occasions, when sex sessions take a little longer than usual, it will be necessary to reapply more product, to keep the area well lubricated and free of chafing at all times.

This natural lube can be used for all types of sexual encounters, whether vaginal or anal. There are even some water-based and flavoured lubes, which will make your oral sex filled with different sensations that incite your own and your partner's pleasure in bed.

Water-based lube can also be used on a daily basis, for all those women who suffer from vaginal dryness and need to soothe the area. In case you are going to have water sex (shower, swimming pool, beach, etc.), we recommend you to buy another type of lubricant, as it will dissolve easily, because it has the same composition as water.

How do you use water-based lube?

Using a water-based lube is a very simple task, so it can become one of the actions you introduce in your routine sexual encounters. Just apply a few drops to your fingers and apply the solution to your intimate area just before you start having sex.

This gel can also be applied to the outside of the condom to make penetration softer, lighter and more natural. It will not be necessary to apply more than a few drops, as this product is very light and expands easily, leaving the whole area lubricated in a matter of seconds.

It is recommended that you try a few drops and, if you find that you need more, add a few extra drops to your private parts. You should bear in mind that you cannot use lubricant on irritated or injured skin and that, once you have opened the bottle, it lasts for 3 months.

Differences between water-based and silicone-based lube

Silicone lubricants are much more intense products, designed for people who tend to have fairly long sex sessions. Their formula makes the product more durable and the lubrication lasts much longer, which makes it more difficult to remove afterwards.

Silicone lubricants are not as easily absorbed, nor do they dry on contact with air. So you won't need to apply lube more than once in a single encounter. They are also compatible with condoms, so you don't have to compromise your safety in order to use them.

Here are the main differences between water-based lubricants and silicone-based gels:

• Durability: silicone lube is more durable than water-based lube because it does not absorb as easily or dry out when it comes into contact with the environment.

• Multiple applications: With water-based lube you will need to apply it several times during your sexual encounters, as it is easier for it to dry out. With silicone lube, just one application will suffice.

• Subsequent hygiene: After your sexual encounters, it will be very easy to remove the water-based lube, but it will be more difficult to remove silicone lube, as it will stick to your skin, as if it were an oil.

• In anal sex: Silicone-based lube is much thicker, so it is ideal for anal intercourse, as it will lubricate the area of penetration for a longer period of time.

• Combination with sex toys: Sex toys are usually made of silicone, so it is best to use them with the most natural lube possible. In this case it is advisable to use erotic objects with water-based lube, although both types of lubricant can be suitable for use with sex toys.

Suitable for everyone

Water-based lube is suitable for everyone, whether for sexual, vaginal, anal or even oral intercourse. It should be applied to the unlubricated area to be penetrated, to ensure smoothness and pleasure in this act. 

As for oral sex, it is advisable to use flavoured gels that will neutralise any bad smell and will allow you to play with your mouth to the maximum, feeling a wide range of flavours that will turn you on.

Can be used with a condom

As we said in the previous point, water-based lube is suitable for everyone, even for couples who have sex with a condom. This gel is ideal for use with a condom to ensure smooth penetration and complete protection for the duration of your sexual encounter.
