A 5-oz water-based lubricant can make sexual interactions more pleasurable. This type of lubricant is also safe to use with latex condoms. If this is your first time purchasing a personal lubricant, consider which ingredients could potentially cause skin irritations, the scent or flavoring of a product, and the manner in which you will store or transport a product.
Potential Skin Irritants
Parabens are preservatives that are typically used during the production of cosmetics and personal care products. Glycerin is a thick, clear liquid that is used to add volume to a product. Sometimes, it is used in medicines and it is also commonly added to soaps, lotions, and other care products.
Both parabens and glycerin are ingredients that people with sensitive skin may want to avoid since these two ingredients could cause a rash or an itchy skin irritation. Review several products and take note of any that could potentially cause you discomfort during active use.
Scents and Flavorings
Unscented, scented, and flavored water-based products are on the market. For the discreet use of a product, choose one that is unscented and that doesn't contain any flavorings. This type of product won't compete with your perfume or aftershave.
If you would like to explore a more diverse collection of lubricants (and the idea of using something that is mildly or strongly-scented or flavored intrigues you), choose a product that will remind you of a specific flower, tree, or food item. Water-based lubricants will rinse cleanly and will only require soap and water to remove all traces of them.
Storage and Transport
A pump or pour bottle of lube can be stored in a nightstand drawer or in a bathroom cabinet. Products should remain in an area where temperatures will not fluctuate often. The temperature limit for a product to retain its freshness will be posted on the product's packaging.
Small tubes of lubricant or travel-sized bottles can be used during times when you will be enjoying romantic encounters at a significant other's home or a hotel. If you choose to purchase a large product that contains several ounces of lubricant, pour some of the product into a travel bottle that contains a screw cap.
The lubricant can be stored inside of a zippered pouch or another small container that you will be using for travel purposes. Once the bottle is empty, use warm, soapy water to rinse it out and allow the container to air dry.

How many different businesses did you rely on today, alone? You probably relied on a coffee roaster or maybe even a coffee shop for your morning cup of the good stuff. Then, you relied on the gas company to fill up your tank as you drove out of town in a car that was manufactured by a different business. You may have worked all day at a business, and on the way home, you stopped at a restaurant — another business — to buy some takeout food. We all interact with businesses all day, every day, in so many ways. Learn more about that here on the blog.
