Travel Size Lube

Several types of personal lubricants are available, varying in how slippery they feel, how likely they are to become sticky, their compatibility with condoms and toys and their gentleness on sensitive skin and intimate areas. The main types include: 

• Water-based 

• Silicone-based 

• Oil-based 

• Plant-based 

Silicone-based lubes generally last the longest before drying because these products absorb into your skin less readily. They also don't tend to become sticky the way water-based lubes can, but they can be more challenging to wash off after play. Silicone and water-based lubes are usually compatible with most latex and latex-free condoms. 

Oil-based lubes are the least likely to become sticky and can last a long time because they don't thicken as they absorb into your skin. However, these lubricants aren't compatible with most condoms or toys. Plant-based products typically feature aloe vera gel, which can quickly dry and cause you to feel sticky. 

One of the best travel-size lubes for most situations is K-Y True Feel. This product is silicone-based, so it's long-lasting and suitable for use with most types of condoms and toys, except silicone toys. The gentle formula contains no alcohol, fragrances, parabens or glycerin, making it ideal for use on most skin types, including sensitive or allergy-prone skin. 

A water-based alternative for easier cleanup is Hello Cake's so-low lotion. The creamy coconut oil-based formula melts into your skin, loosening up to reduce friction while leaving your body moisturized afterward. The product is ideal for men's solo play or couples to enjoy sensual massages. 

You might also try Astroglide Organix if you're sensitive to other travel-size personal lubricant formulations. Because this product features 95% organic ingredients and allows you to avoid several common irritants, it may be less likely to cause rashes or allergies.
