If you use silicone toys:
Choose water-based lubricant. This is non-negotiable. Silicone lube will degrade your silicone toys.
If you have sensitive skin:
Look for hypoallergenic, glycerin-free, and paraben-free water-based options. Avoid flavoured lubes which often contain irritants.
If you want long-lasting:
Silicone-based is your best bet for extended sessions without reapplication.
If you are using condoms:
Stick to water-based or silicone-based. Never use oil-based lubricants with latex condoms.

Start with a basic water-based lube. It is the safest, most versatile option and you can experiment from there.
