Buying Lubricant: Which One is Right for You?

A good lubricant makes intimate moments more comfortable. It reduces friction, protects sensitive skin and ensures everything feels just as it should. At GONSER.CH, you’ll find water-based and silicone-based lubricants that are skin-friendly and discreetly packaged. The two types differ in several key aspects.

Water-Based or Silicone-Based Lubricant?

Most lubricants are either water-based or silicone-based. Both have their strengths and benefits. The right choice depends on how you intend to use it.

Water-Based Lubricant – The All-Rounder

Water-based lubricants are the most straightforward option: condom-safe, easy to wash off and unlikely to stain bed linen. They are especially suitable for silicone toys, as they do not damage the material.

However, because the water is gradually absorbed by the skin, you may need to reapply during longer sessions. On the plus side, clean-up is quick and simple.

Silicone-Based Lubricant – For Longer-Lasting Glide

If you’re looking for longer-lasting performance, silicone-based lubricant is the way to go. It isn’t absorbed by the skin and remains slippery for considerably longer – even under water. That makes it ideal for use in the shower or bath. Usually, only a small amount is needed.
Important: Silicone lubricant should not be used with silicone toys, as it may damage the surface. In that case, a water-based option is the safer choice.

Warming, Cooling or Flavoured Lubricants

Beyond the classic formulas, some lubricants are designed to heighten the senses. Warming formulas stimulate circulation and increase sensitivity, while cooling versions create an exciting contrast. Flavoured lubricants – such as strawberry or vanilla – add a playful touch, particularly for oral intimacy.

Skin Compatibility and Safety

When it comes to intimate areas, ingredients matter. Quality lubricants are pH-balanced and designed not to disrupt the skin’s natural flora. Water-based products rinse off without residue and are generally suitable for sensitive skin.

If you’re prone to irritation, choose a fragrance- and dye-free formula and test new products on a small area of skin first.
