Water Based Lube:

• Compatible with latex and non-latex barriers and with all sex toy materials
• Feals the most natural
• Evaporates/absorbs into the skin, often requiring you to re-apply

Aloe-Based Lube:

• Technically water-based (aloe is largely made of water)
• Very slippery and has a gel-like quality
• Compatible with latex and non latex barriers and with all sex toy materials
• BONUS: Aloe is a natural moisturizer and may help if you experience dryness

Silicone Lube:

• Extremely slippery. Stays on top of the skin (rarely requires re-application)
• Compatible with latex and non latex barriers but not compatible with silicone toys.
• Highly unlikely to cause allergic reactions
• Can stain sheets and fabrics

Hybrid Lube:

• A mix of water-based and silicone lube
• Compatible with latex and non-latex barriers and with all sex toy materials (depending on the amount of silicone in the lube)
• Lasts longer than water-based lube

Oil-Based Lube:

• ONLY compatible with polyurethane barriers- will degrade other barrier materials.
• Generally not ideal for vaginal use, as it can cause yeast or other infections
• Some folks DO use coconut oil for vaginal use
