Best type of lubricant?

Contributor: Midway through Midway through
I'm biased, I've only ever used water-based lubricants anyway. But I'd like to note that I'm hooked on maximus and ever since I got it, I haven't wanted to try anything because it's thick and compatible with every toy.

I've only used water based lubes before, so I'm not sure.

When in doubt, water water water.

It is the most economical of all the lubricants, as well as the most universal. Granted, you'll need to reapply from time to time, as water-based lubes tend to get tacky.

Silicone toys are becoming more and more common, and they are designed for water-based lubes only.

Once you're ready to explore, you can step up to a silicone lube. Personally I use silicone more than anything else (great for anal, as well as shower play) but water is still a good-ol' standby.

I use olive oil to shave my pubic area, because it stays slicker than any shaving cream out there. When finished, I like to give myself a good wank in the shower.

So, for male masturbation (and shaving!), I can say olive oil is safe. I have never tried it for sex, so I can't say for sure.

There is no "best lube"- there are different lubes that are each best suited for different jobs.

Water based is the most versatile lube. I fuck with silicone cocks so water based is the lube I reach for most often. It won't damage toys and it will wash out easily.

Silicone and oil based lubes have serious staying power that makes them ideal for anal sex or fisting. They are also great for in the shower. But they will damage lots of toys and are harder to wash off.

Each type has positive and negative elements. It really comes down to what you're doing with them.

Oh, and as far as brands, Sliquid is the best around in my book.

Water-based are very widely available and affordable, but I'm not terribly well-versed in this area. They're also compatible with anything (except sex in the shower/bath/other watery area)
I really like silicone lube (Pink Silicone is my favorite) and would definitely recommend it as a quality option (especially for anal), but silicones aren't as all over the place and as cheap as water-based.

I'd go with water-based too, especially Sliquid lubes, but I do like a silicone one once in a while.

Water based is generally cheaper, and good for everything. If you have anal, it's worth it to invest in a bottle of good silicone lube.

hands down water based is the best and most versatile with little to no clean up required other than what the toy needs.

Water based for me. I'm lazy, I don't want to switch lubes between toys.

Water based are great for play with toys or with partners. We use one with Aloe right now that my wife loves, though the name escapes me at the moment.
