Natural Lube
If you are a bit concerned about what you are rubbing on your skin, then you should opt for natural lubes. There is still an ongoing debate of what natural lube exactly is. Natural lubes are products that have about 95% natural ingredients and have no artificial smell or taste. There is the Aloe Cadabra which has about 95% of aloe vera; it is a very nice option that is worth considering. Alternatively, you can use coconut oils as lube, although it can stain your sheets, and may be difficult to wash off. Also, it can cause condom breakage because oil breaks down the effectiveness of latex. You should also be careful of contamination, and make sure you always wash your hands before dipping it into the jar.How to Use Lube the Right Way
