Choosing the Right Lubricant: Silicon-based Lubricant vs. Water-based Lubricant

What is the difference between silicon-based lubricants and water-based lubricants? Most lubricating fluids are classified into silicone oil bases and water-soluble bases. So understanding the differences between the two will help you make the right choice.

Body lubricants can enhance your sex experience, but which one is best for you and your partner?

After reading the following, you will have a very clear understanding.

Silicone Lubricant: Long-lasting waterproof fun

Silicon-based lubricants, such as the JO Advanced Waterproof Lubricant series, use high-quality and safe silicone as the main ingredient and are very popular. Because the texture of these silicone lubricants is very smooth, refreshing and non-sticky, the effect can be maintained for a long time.

But not all silicone-based lubricants are the same. Some silicone-based lubricants use low-quality polysiloxane as the main raw material. Using this lubricant will increase the irritation to the human body and increase the risk of infection and disease.

This is why JO only uses 100% pharmaceutical grade silicone as product material, which is recommended by professional doctors and approved by sexual health experts.

What else do you need to know about silicone-based lubricants?

advantage

• Silicone lubricant is waterproof and you can use it in a bathtub, shower, swimming pool or jacuzzi.

• Silicon-based lubricants last longer than water-based lubricants.

• Silicon-based lubricating fluid is silky smooth, refreshing and non-greasy, effectively enhancing your sensory experience.

• Can be used on latex products.

Disadvantage

• Wash with soap and water after use. If leaks are found, they should be cleaned in time because the silicone-based lubricant is very silky and there may be a serious risk of slipping.

• Silicone lubricants should not be used on silicone adult toys. Silicone-based lubricants can corrode silicone adult toys, cause holes on the surface of the toy, and breed bacteria over time.

Water-based lubricants: the best choice for adult toys

Water-based lubricants are the first choice for many people. Because water-based lubricants are very easy to clean and have the highest safety, any adult toy can be used, mainly water.

Water-based lubricating fluid can be rinsed with water without soap. It can be absorbed by the skin and has high safety. But this means frequent replenishment and smearing during use. There are also good and bad quality in water-based lubricants. Some lubricant brands use animal glycerin as a raw material, which can induce yeast infections and other diseases.

JO H2O water-soluble lubricant only uses plant-derived glycerin, which does not cause the above problems. All of JO's water-based lubricants meet strict US FDA medical safety guidelines, 100% meet safety standards, and are non-toxic and harmless to humans.

The texture of JO water-based lubricant is as silky as silicon-based lubricant, refreshing and non-greasy.

advantage

• Just use clean water to clean it.

• Suitable for all adult toys

• Can be used on latex products

Disadvantage

• Because it is absorbed by the skin, it does not last as long as silicone-based lubricants.

• Not waterproof.

The perfect lubricant for anyone

Of course, understanding the difference between silicon-based lubricants and water-based lubricants is just the beginning. In personal lubricants, there are products specifically for men and women. At the same time, there can be different types to divide, such as anal sex lubricating fluid, thermal fluid, ice fluid, mixed fluid, organic fluid, and so on.

Imagine trying different lubricants according to your preferences and the needs of your partner, and you will definitely find one or more suitable lubricants for you. Whether you are young, old, male, female, heterosexual or gay, JO can provide you with the perfect experience.
