Silicone Based Lubricants at Walgreens

Lubricants can make sex a more pleasurable experience by reducing friction during intercourse or personal intimacy. A number of factors can reduce a woman's natural lubrication including hormonal changes, insufficient arousal and anxiety. Lubricants provide extra moisture that may be lacking and make sexual activity more comfortable for both parties. Lubricants may be water-based, oil-based or silicone-based. There are pros and cons to all types of lubricants. The advantages of using a silicone-based lubricant make them a popular option.

Oil vs. Water-Based Lubricants

The problem with oil-based lubricants is they can weaken latex condoms and cause them to break. As a result, the condom may not effectively protect against unplanned pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. Water-based lubricants are safer but they have disadvantages too. Water-based lubricants, because they're made of water, tend to dry up faster than oil-based ones. This means they have to be applied more often.

Silicone Lubricants - Benefits and Usage

Silicone-based lubricants are safe for condoms and don't need to be reapplied as often as water-based ones. They have a slippery, smooth texture that's ideal for reducing friction. You can choose from a variety of premium silicone-based lubricants to enhance your sexual experience. The silicone in these lubricants is compatible with condoms for added peace of mind. They're available in a single-hand pump so you can apply the lubricant quickly using only one hand. You'll also find basic silicone lubricants that are free of oils, fragrances and preservatives.

Personal Intimacy

Silicone-based personal lubricants offer the same friction-reducing texture for personal intimacy. Women can enjoy natural silicone-based lubrication designed just for them. Choose from silky lubricating formulations that are safe for the skin. Formulations are available that stay soft and silky even in water. To help keep your skin moist and conditioned, select a silicone lubricant with added moisturizing botanicals.

Enhancing Lubricants

A variety of personal lubricants are available for men too. Choose from long-lasting, oil-based personal lubricants in scented and unscented formulas. Both women and men can enjoy the sensation that warming jelly and lubricants offer. Once applied to the skin, these lubricants produce a mild warming sensation that may enhance pleasure and intimacy. Some of these lubricants are enriched with skin conditioning ingredients like vitamin E. Do you prefer a cooling sensation? Explore the world of "cooling" lubricants which cool the skin and create a slight tingling sensation when you apply them.

Prefer the convenience of individually-packaged lubrication? Lubricating packettes are available. Each individually wrapped lube contains enough lubrication for one use. It's a non-messy way to carry lubrication with you on a trip or on a date.

Choosing Lubrication

Whether you're buying a lubricant for sexual activity or personal intimacy, you'll find a variety of types to choose from. Both men and women can select from formulations made just for them. Plus, many offer added skin conditioners to soften your intimate areas. Always read the label carefully before using a lubricant with a condom.
