subject: Which Personal Lubricants are Used Most Often [print this page] Personal lubricants are often an under-looked part of safe sex and sex in general. They can help prevent condom breakage in many instances, and in some cases, can help prevent men who can not last as long as their partner would like.
Choosing the best personal lube is a tough decision because every person has a different body type, different levels of sensitivity, or differing levels of desires for satisfaction. There are a few things to live by such as water-based lubes are the best when using a condom, spermicidal products should not be used in most cases, and when in doubt, experiment with different manufacturers to find the best product for you.
With that being said, lets explore the most often used/sold brands and types of personal lubricants.
KY Jelly is the king of lubes. With a name seemingly interchangeable with the term "lubricant," one of the original lubes keeps on going stronger than ever with a wider range of products to keep their customers happy. KY has the original formula on the market or more experimental couples may want to look at the KY Yours and Mine, KY Intense, or KY Tingling line.
Astroglide is another great choice in sex lubricants. Astroglide is 2nd place in lubricant sales world wide and they continue to get stronger. Another manufacturer who's name is virtually interchangeable with "personal lubricant," Astroglide has the #1 selling original formula or you can choose to branch out into warming, organic, or flavored types.
Several quick rising companies in the lubricant market include Kama Sutra, Sliquid, Pre-Seed, Wet, and System Jo. Kama Sutra has a good mix of lubes and massage oils while Pre-Seed has one of the most recommended lubricants used by those trying to get pregnant. System Jo and Wet lubricants both have a wide selection of types, flavors, and styles of lubes. Each has a unique product that are being used by a larger range of the population.
Sliquid had a chance to supplant KY Jelly and Astroglide at the top of the charts. Sliquid has one of the biggest selections on the market with various flavors, styles, and types. Their Sliquid Organics line is the most popular form of organic lubes on the market.
With so many lubricants to choose from, it can be tough to pick the right one for you but if you give several brands a try, you'll be sure to find a favorite.
