Choosing Lubricants Men and women both prefer some sort of lubricant when massaging their genitals, but it's best to use water-based lubricants on women s genitals to avoid encouraging vaginal infections.
Water based lubricants are safe with condoms and wash off easily.
They tend to get very sticky as they dry out, but can be refreshed with a bit of water. Three common brands are Astro Glide, Wet and K-Y Jelly. Astro Glide is water based and water-soluble and is condom compatible. This petroleum free lubrication mimics the body's own lubricating fluids, is non-staining and tasteless. This is an ideal all around lubricant widely used in Gynecology and hospital procedures.
