The Passion Diva’s Guide to Lubricants

Be aware. There are four types of lubrication: water-based, oil-based, petroleum-based and silicone-based. Each has its pros and cons, through at Passion Parties, we think that water-based products are superior for most sexual activity. In the past, some people have raised various concerns about side effects of silicone lubricants. Recent studies have shown silicone to be safe, but it can still cause possible irritation or allergic reactions in some women. Revelation®, an exclusive Passion Parties lubricant, has the feel of silicone without the possibility of irritation or allergic reactions. To choose wisely, though, you need to know all the facts, so here’s the lowdown on all four types of lubes:

Water-Based Lubricants
Water-based lubes are the most common. Typically, they contain water; glycerine, an emulsifier; propylene alcohol, which helps the products retain moisture; and a preservative, typically methylparaben, propylparaben, or grapefruit seed extract. They’re safe for use on both female and male genitals, as well as in the anus. You can also use them with latex condoms and diaphragms; and during oral sex, you can safely ingest small amounts of them. Even when they claim to be taste-free, though, you may notice the slightly sweet taste of glycerine and/or somewhat bitter taste of the grapefruit seed extract. Many water-based lubricants also use FDA approved flavorings to encourage playful use during oral sex. Water-based lubes won’t stain your bed linens or your clothing, but some people do notice irritations or allergic reactions to some of the ingredients. If you think you’re sensitive to a particular lubricant, stop using it. Keep trying other formulations. And don’t use lubes as massage lotion on large expanses of skin - they just don’t work as well as products specifically designed for that purpose.
During extended lovemaking, you body heat may cause the purified water in water-based lubricants to dry out, though of course you can always apply more or revive them with a little water or saliva. After self pleasuring or partner sex, just rinse these lubes off with a warm, moist washcloth.

Oil-Based Lubricants
Oil-based lubricants include vegetable oil (such as olive oil and corn oil), butter and nut oils (avocado, peanut and the like). These products double as genital lubricants and as massage lotions, and you can swallow them during oral sex. They are safe to use with condoms, diaphragms and cervical caps, although the greasiness can cause condoms to slip off. Moreover, in some cases, they can provoke or encourage vaginal infections. Another “con”: Oil-based lubricants might stain the bed linens and clothing. As you might expect, it takes a good helping of soap and hot water to wash these oil products off your skin. For all reasons, we don’t sell any oil-based lubricants, but if you think you might enjoy them – especially for self-pleasuring, when condoms are not involved - go ahead.

Petroleum-Based Lubricants
This type of lubricant is made from petroleum jelly, mineral oil, or petrolatum - for example, Vaseline® and baby oil. Because this type of lube destroys latex, it should never be used with condoms, diaphragms or cerival caps. Even more important, petroleum-based lubes should never be used inside the vagina: the oil is hard to wash out, can irritate your vaginal lining, and can change your vaginal chemistry, increasing your risk of infection. They can also potentially irritate the outside of the vagina. You should never ingest a petroleum-based product, and you want to watch out for how it might stain linens and bedclothes. For all these reasons, you’ll probably want to avoid petroleum-based products.

Silicone-Based Lubricants
You can buy silicone lubricants that are specifically made for sexual purposes, but sometimes people also use silicone products that have been made for other purposes, such as industrial silicone products, including WD-40®. Passion Parties does not recommend using any lubricants if they haven’t been explicitly made for sexual purposes. Fortunately, you can buy silicone lubricants that are made for sex, including our own Slip ‘n Slide. Because there’s no water in silicone lubricant, it never dries out. Since silicone lkubes remain slick and slippery for a very long time, they’re especially useful for anal sex play and for sexual activity in showers, bathtubs and hot tubs. Silicone lubricants are condom-safe, but because they’re not water-soluble, you’ll have to use soap to wash them out of your linens and clothing, and they take a bit more work - and again, some soap - to get them off your skin. You can use silicone lubricant with plastic, rubber and jelly toys, but it will damage silicone toys and products made of cyber-skin or FutureFleash™. Although silicone lubricants are more expensive than water-based ones, they also last longer. If you’re looking for the silky feeling of a silicone-lubricant without the side effects, check out our exclusive Revelation® Lubricant.
