How are lubrication on silicone and water -based lubricants?
| Characteristic | Water -based lubricants | Silicon -based lubrication |
| Universality | Suitable for all types of sexual games, regardless of whether you use toys or not, as well as from what material these toys or condoms are made. | Their use is unacceptable along with silicone toys, as they will spoil the material and the sex toy will quickly become unusable. The same applies to condoms. BUT. If you prefer latex as a material for a vibrator or condom – Silicone -based lubricants are suitable as possible. |

Do not get the linen and clothes | Silicone -based lubricants must be washed off with warm water and soap, or a special means of intimate hygiene. Spots can remain on the fabric. |
| Consumption | Since water -based lubricants quickly dry, acquiring the consistency of glue, they must constantly be added, and the need arises as always at the most inopportune moment. | A small drop is enough for the entire sex session, silicone lubricant is not absorbed, so the consumption is minimal. |

In this case, just change the lubricant. | Contraindication to the use of lubricant on a silicone basis can only be individual intolerance to its components. |
