A member asked:
Are silicone based lubes better than water based for the vagina? are there any dangers from either?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water-based lube is popular because it is easy to clean up, safe to use with condoms and sex toys, and does not stain clothes or sheets. It is also available in a wide range of textures and flavors. K-Y Jelly is most recommended. However, water-based lube is not as long-lasting as silicone lube and may need to be reapplied during extended sexual activities. Also water-based is not waterproof.
