What is the best lubricant? My boyfriend always buys the cheap drugstore stuff like Astroglide and, I’m sorry, but it’s so goopy and gross. I feel like it’s destroying our sheets and that it always creates a film on my skin. I honestly hate it so much. My friend gave me a bunch of flavoured lubes and they basically turned my vagina into a burning hell fire. I guess I am sensitive, but I don’t know what lube is best. There are so many out there. I’m fine to spend money on lube, which brands do you recommend?
Astroglide is disgusting. I don’t blame you for never wanting to put that crap near your pussy ever again. If you ever find yourself out of lube, just run into your kitchen pantry and grab some coconut oil. It’s edible, smooth, as well as naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial. The downside? Coconut oil is NOT compatible with latex. I used to swear by Slippery Stuff (and I still do), but here are my favorites as of late that are real game changers.
Uberlube
$14-$28 USD | uberlube.com
I’m ridiculously obsessed with this stuff. Uberlube is silky, thin, condom-friendly and, best of all, completely scentless. I don’t think most women want a lubricant that reeks of a chocolate Bonne Bell Lip Smacker. Plus, flavoured lubricants irritate the skin and vagina. The outcome is worse than fucking in chlorine. Uberlube leaves no residue, and, unlike cheap drugstore brands, it doesn’t clump up and roll into revolting lint-like balls after a real heavy fuck-fest. You only need about a quarter-sized amount, so, if you do some quick math, the stuff is pretty cheap to purchase. Bonus feature? I use Uberlube on my skin, hair (excellent for extra shine), and even to help wipe off my make-up when I don’t have my regular products on hand.
Pulse
$250 USD | lovemypulse.com
I know you may not want to throw down $250 on a bedside lubricant dispenser, but if you buy any luxury sex item, let it be this. Pulse comes with its own lubricant to pop in the dispenser: “H2Oh!” and “Aloe-Ah,” and the product is great. This bedside machine looks like a mini-spaceship and dispenses warm lube with a hands-free sensor. Nothing kills the mood like fumbling through your bedside drawer for a bottle of lubricant. Pulse eliminates any of that. The warming feature seems kind of frivolous at first, but it’s actually surprisingly pleasant. Pulse-brand lube is smooth with a barely-there feel. It’s ultra-moisturizing and odourless. Pulse lubricants are also gluten-free, vegan, and free of parabens and glycerin. You know, for people who give a shit about that kind of thing.
Penchant Premium
$20 USD | penchantforpleasure.com
This one is great for someone like you with sensitive skin. Again odourless, silky and does not leave gloopy stains. It also works while in water, which doesn’t seem like a big deal, but sometimes you need lube during shower sex. Plus, the labeling isn’t obviously sexual, so if your uptight grandmother came over and saw it on your bedside table, she would assume you left your contact solution in the wrong room.
Happy Banging!
