Lube finder

Answer a few short questions and the finder suggests the lubricant type most likely to suit you. It also lists the ingredients worth avoiding if your skin is sensitive.

1. Will you use it with latex condoms? Yes No

2. Will you use it with silicone toys or a silicone dilator? Yes No

3. Which describes you best? Occasional friction or dryness Ongoing dryness, for example around menopause or after cancer treatment Pain with penetration or dilator practice Sex in the shower or bath

4. Is your skin sensitive, or do you get thrush or BV easily? Yes No

How to use it

Tell the finder what the lubricant is for and whether condoms or toys are involved.
Note any dryness, irritation or recurrent infections.
Review the suggested type and the ingredients to skip.

Good to know

Oil-based lubricants weaken latex condoms, and silicone can damage silicone toys. If burning or pain continues even with lubricant, see a clinician, as dryness can have a treatable cause.
