Choosing and using lubricant
The main types of lube, what each one is good at, what it's safe with, which ingredients to skip, and how to use enough of it.
A vetted pick, chosen for the Braise catalog on merit, never for payment. Here's what earns it a place and who it's for.
The silicone lube that looks good on a nightstand. Silky, long-lasting, and FDA-cleared, in a glass bottle you won't want to hide.
Vetted on ingredients, regulatory status, condom and toy compatibility, and cleanup, from Überlube's official product information and buyer and press coverage.
It's a short blend of silicones with vitamin E, and contains no water, alcohol, glycerin, parabens, scent, or flavor. It's cleared by the FDA as a medical device and doesn't affect vaginal pH. Owners describe it as silky rather than sticky, and it stays slippery for a long time, in or out of water. It's safe with latex and polyisoprene condoms, and with glass, steel, ceramic, and hard plastic toys. The refillable glass pump bottle looks like something from a bathroom shelf, not a sex drawer.
Anyone who wants a premium silicone lube for long sessions or water play, and who'd rather leave the bottle out than hide it.
