Personal lubricants, or lube, are gel or liquid substances used during sexual activity to reduce friction and enhance pleasure. They come in various formulations, including water-based, silicone-based, and oil-based, each with unique properties and benefits. Water-based lubes are the most common and are safe to use with various condoms and sex toys, while silicone-based lubes are longer-lasting and great for use in the shower or bath. Oil-based lubes are not recommended for use with condoms but can be great for sensual massages. Whatever your preference, a personal lubricant can add comfort and enjoyment to your sexual experiences.
