Which lubricant should I buy for improving my sex life?

Hi, I am a 28-year-old male based in Mumbai. I recently got married and tried having sex with my wife a couple of times. However, she complains of pain. I have heard that lubricants can help in this situation. I don’t know which type to buy. Can’t I just use vaseline or some moisturizer? Also Read - 3 common things you should never use as a lube

Dear newly married 28-year-old, it is good that you are patient with your wife and are trying to fix the problem. Lubricants do help, especially during the first few times. Also Read - Sex tip after pregnancy – Use a lubricant to prevent vaginal dryness

Water-based lubricants are the latest rage among couples because they have clear advantages over the other varieties. They’re extremely smooth, slick and non-messy. It’s easy to wash off, doesn’t leave marks and is compatible with condoms of all kinds including latex. The major con is that it gets used up pretty quickly and needs to applied again and again, which might put a damper on the mood. Some of them available in the market are KY Jelly, Maximus, Astroglide. They may not all be available at the local chemist’s. You may have to buy them online.

Like water-based ones, silicone-based lubricants are compatible with latex condoms but are far messier than water-based ones. They’re thicker and tend to last far longer. The good thing is that you don’t have to keep on applying it again and again; the hard part is actually getting it off! They’re so effective they work even underwater (if you are into that sort of thing)! One other problem is that many of them have glycerine as one of the ingredients which can lead to yeast infections. Some of them which are available are Ride dude, Wet platinum and ID Backslide (for anal sex). You can buy them online.

Coming to your query about using moisturizers, vaseline etc. as lubricants, we suggest it isn’t a good idea. They tend to react with latex, making condoms ineffective.
