Lube Up: Everything You Need to Know About Lubricant
When you search online or walk down a store and find yourself in the lube aisle, it can be overwhelming knowing which kind is the best for YOU. Our episode today focuses on the different types of lubricants and why some may be better for your lifestyle or sexual health. We talk through common lubricants like silicone and water-based plus “natural” lubricants like coconut oil and saliva, including the pros and cons. We even include a list of our personal favorites!
Plus, if you’re not someone who regularly uses lubricant, we’ve included a couple of studies describing why the use of lubricant in general may be positive. Lubricants, both with partners or without, are another tool in our tool box for improving our own sexual health journeys.
