Navigating every different lube available gets a little slippery. When searching for the perfect lube, there are many things to consider. First, is it water or silicone based? Second, what will be my primary use for this lube? A great rule of thumb is to never apply silicone lube to anything also made from silicone. For use with skin to skin contact, silicone or hybrid lubes would be a great choice.
Using a lube that contains any silicone with your toys that are made from jellies, Cyberskin, or silicone (even medical grade) causes the flexible molecules in silicone to react with the other flexible molecules in your toy. This can have unpredictable and irreversible effects on your investments. Water based lubes are great for use with any toy or condom, and rinses off of toys, fabrics, skin, and furnishings easier than silicone based. Water based lubes are also something to consider if you are sensitive. Every lube that is water based will be clearly labeled as such, or with an H20 on some bottles.
There are many advantages and uses for silicone lube. For general skin-to-skin contact, use with latex condoms, cock rings, as a convenient penis pump sealer, or pomade. Silicone evaporates slower than water, so silicone lubes will stay slick for much longer. Silicone or hybrid lubes are harder to get out of fabrics, but for a more experienced luber, silicone can be better for some applications than water.
Oil based lubes such as petroleum jelly, Vaseline, coconut oil, or vitamin E oil are not condom or toy safe, and probably not safe for your insides or for any finer fabrics you have. At Mischevious we've pre-approved great lubes so anything you pull from our shelves will be safer than what is in the aisle at the grocery store. Not only can we answer your questions, there are no teenage boys or smug cashiers lurking and laughing. Here's a chance to educate yourself on what lubes we offer. If you're a new luber, we usher you to our sophomore class of lubes. Our junior class is for those who have a kink in their step, or if you've surpassed all of our sophomore lubes already. (Go you!) Senior lubes are for when you're ready to ditch the floaties and jump into the deep end.

Graduated from the water slide to the slip-n-slide.
A common misconception about lubricant is that it's manufactured and bought by people who suffer from vaginal dryness. While that is a valid use, there are many lubes out there for anal use, clitoral use, warming, and cooling. There are hypoallergenic lubes, lubes used to prevent disease, and funny flavored lubes that come in novelty .60 cent packs. If you gather nothing from this, take away that there is still something in the world you can buy for under $1.
