A personal lubricant reduces friction and improves comfort. The three main types are water-based, silicone-based and oil-based — and the right choice depends on how you’ll use it and whether you’re using condoms. In Sri Lanka, personal lubricants are available to buy online and delivered discreetly.

Types of personal lubricant

TypeProsThings to note
Water-basedEasy to clean, condom-safe, widely availableDries out faster; reapply as needed
Silicone-basedLong-lasting, very smooth, condom-safeHarder to wash off; don’t use with silicone toys
Oil-basedLong-lasting, moisturisingNot safe with latex condoms (can weaken them)

How to choose

  • Using latex condoms? Choose water-based or silicone-based — never oil-based.
  • Want it to last longer? Silicone-based stays slick the longest.
  • Sensitive skin? Look for a simple water-based formula and patch-test first.
  • Using silicone toys? Use water-based, as silicone lube can degrade silicone toys.

What affects the price

Price depends mainly on the type and bottle size (silicone-based generally costs more than water-based) and the brand. Larger bottles are better value per use. See current options and prices on the personal lubricants page.
