Gynecologists typically recommend water-based lubricants for sexual activity.
Water-based lubricants are generally considered the safest option for both vaginal health and condom use. They are less likely to irritate sensitive tissues or interfere with the effectiveness of latex condoms.
Some popular water-based lubricants include:
* **KY Jelly**
* **Astroglide**
* **Slippery Stuff**While silicone-based lubricants can also be effective, they are not always recommended by gynecologists due to their potential to interfere with certain types of condoms.
Oil-based lubricants are generally not recommended for vaginal use as they can disrupt the vaginal flora and increase the risk of infections.
It's important to note that individual needs and preferences may vary, and it's always best to consult with a gynecologist or healthcare provider for personalized advice on lubricant choices.
