What kinds of lubrication do you recommend?
We recommend a water-based personal lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly, which can be found in the drugstore as well as some supermarkets (in the feminine protection section).
What kinds of lubrication do you not recommend?
Soap and shampoo, which can be harsh and dry the skin severely (a temporary condition); anything not recommended for contacting the skin or burns to the touch; or anything abrasive.
I'm embarrassed to buy anything at the drugstore – what kind of lubrication can I find around the house?
Hand lotion, such as Vaseline Intensive Care, is a favorite. Vaseline petroleum jelly is favored by some (although never use such an oil-based lube with a condom – it can weaken the condom and cause it to break). People also have fun experimenting with foods – if it's safe to put in your body, it's safe to use it on the outside.
