Dry
Up Quickly
The down side is that it can dry up quickly and may have to be
reapplied several times as opposed to other lubricants such as
silicone which stay slick for a while.
Easy
Clean Up
Since they're water-soluble, skin and mucous membranes will absorb
them. This makes cleanup a breeze: just a little warm water and
the lube will easily wash off the skin.
Important
Information On Benzocaine
Found In Most Sexual Desensitizers
Desensitizers
can contain numbing drugs that can include lidocaine, tetracaine,
benzocaine and prilocaine. The FDA said consumers should be cautious
about using them without medical supervision. Leaving the creams
on the skin for long periods of time or on large portions of their
bodies can increase the risk, officials have said. Small children
and people with heart or severe liver disease are also at higher
risk.
Overuse of skin-numbing creams can cause irregular heartbeats
and even death.
Creams and lotions often used in conjunction with cosmetic procedures.
Used in large amounts can cause a lethal dose of chemicals to
enter bloodstream.
Numbing
creams and lotions, available both by prescription and over the
counter, are approved to soothe burning or itching skin as well
as pain and to decrease sensation.
Silicone
Lubricants
Use With Silicone Sex Toys
A common myth is that silicone sex toys cannot be used with silicone-based
lubricants and that silicone sex toys should not come into contact
with other silicone sex toys. However, we have not found either
of these points to be true.
As for 100% silicone sex toys, you will not find such problems
unless it is not 100% silicone. It is also fine to use silicone
lubes with condoms of just about any kind.
You have
to be sure that it is made from 100% silicone, otherwise it may
destroy the sex toy and break it down.
Who
Makes 100% Silicone Products?
We carry a
large variety of 100% silicone sex toys, here are some companies
that make them-
Do
Not Use With Jelly Sex Toys
It is the jelly toys that you will find this to be true... the
reason for this reaction is that jelly toys are not 100% silicone,
and the melting happens because they are made of lesser materials
that have additives to make them soft. Those chemical additives,
called phthalates, emit from the toys over time, and as this happens,
they make each other even softer, seen as "melting".
Do
Not Use With Cyberskin Sex Toys
Silicone
or any petroleum or oil-based lubricant will destroy CyberSkin.
Use
Them In Water & Use Soap For Easy Clean Up!
Silicone lubricants
work well in water and are great for sexual activity in the bath
tub, shower, etc. However, because they stay on in water, you
have to use soap to clean them off.
Cyberskin
Lubricants
Only use waterbased lubricants with CyberSkin sex toys! Silicone
or any petroleum or oil-based lubricant will destroy CyberSkin.
When
Using Condoms
Never use lubricants that contain oils, fat or greases such as
petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) baby oils or lotion, hand or body
lotions, cooking oils or oily cosmetics like cold cream. They
can seriously weaken latex causing a condom to form tin holes
and tear easily. Use only water or silicone based lubricants both
inside and outside the condom.
Nonoxynol-9
Is
a mild chemical detergent that kills sperm and has been found
to also kill some STD causing organisms. Nonoxynol
9 is a common ingredient in spermicides
and lubricant, previously thought to help reduce the risk of HIV
infection. Not only have recent studies proven this untrue, they've
also discovered that Nonoxynol 9 actually leads to infections,
which can help transmit the disease.
How ever some men and woman have a sensitivity or allergic reaction
to nonoxynol-9 that may irritate the delicate tissues of the vagina
or the male urethra. If irritation occurs, you should discontinue
use.
Massage
Oils & Oil Based Lubricants -
Oil
based sex lubricants degrade latex and as such condoms or diaphragms
become risky protectors against both unwanted pregnancy and sexually
transmitted disease. They're bad for women's vaginal health in
a variety of ways so avoid them when practicing safe sex and partaking
in vaginal sex.
