The benefits of natural lube cannot be understated, but most importantly, you don’t need to worry about harsh chemicals or ingredients causing problems for your vulva and vagina. Do also keep in mind that oil-based natural lubes are not compatible with latex. You can use condoms made from polyurethane or latex-free condoms instead, which won’t suffer damage from oil. Below are 3 natural lubes you should definitely try.

When you’re having marathon sex, it is the ideal choice. Just be sure the coconut oil you buy is slightly hydrogenated and ultra refined. With unrefined coconut oil, it takes on antibacterial properties which can wipe out the good flora in your vagina. Some women have reported yeast infections or BV as a result.

Aloe Vera is a great lube and it won’t damage latex condoms which is always a bonus. Aloe is the main ingredient in lots of all-natural organic lubes such as Unbound Jelly or Sustain Natural. If you’re not using condoms, you can add a few drops of all-natural lavender oil. It smells amazing and turns the aloe into more than just lube,

Almond oil smells wonderful and is awesome for staying power. It’s a good choice for anal play if that is something you’re looking to explore since it requires little reapplication. Almond oil is also safe to eat so it’s a nice choice for oral sex and blow jobs. Almond oil is rich with antioxidants, which help to calm irritated skin.
