There are several types of lubricant on the market. These include flavored and unflavored lubricants, water-based and silicone-based lubricants, and sterile lubricating gel for professional and medical use. Which option is most suitable depends on the intended application and your personal preferences. In this blog, we explain more about the different types of lubricant in our range and the differences between them. Compare the options!
What types of lubricant are available?
There are different types of lubricant, and their composition largely determines what they are suitable for. The most common options are water-based and silicone-based lubricants. There are also sterile gels for professional and medical use. At Asha International, you will find various types of lubricant for both personal and professional use. Below, you can read more about the differences between the lubricants in our range and what they can be used for.
Beppy Comfort Gel 100 ml – water-based
Beppy Comfort Gel is a water-based lubricant that provides extra moisture and smoothness during intimate contact. The gel has a light consistency and is easy to rinse off with water. Because it is water-based, it is less likely to leave a greasy or sticky feeling.
Apply a small amount of gel to the desired area and add more if needed. The compact 100 ml tube is practical to use and easy to take with you. Prefer a larger size? Choose the 200 ml version. Beppy Comfort Gel is also available for business customers. Contact us for more information about larger quantities and the corresponding prices.
Héros silicone-based lubricant
Héros is a silicone-based lubricant. Unlike water-based lubricant, silicone lubricant evaporates less quickly. As a result, it stays slippery for longer and generally needs to be reapplied less often during extended use. A small amount is usually sufficient. Spread the lubricant evenly over the desired area and add more as needed.
Silicone lubricant is less easy to rinse off using water alone than a water-based product. If you use the lubricant with a sex toy, check beforehand whether the toy’s material is suitable for use with silicone-based lubricant.
At Asha, this lubricant is available in various sizes, ranging from 200 ml and 500 ml to a large 5-litre container for business customers. Feel free to ask about our business pricing and purchasing options.
Euroglider Superlube lubricant
Euroglider Superlube is a water-based lubricant with a smooth consistency. The gel is colourless and odourless, easy to apply and easy to rinse off with water. Apply the desired amount of lubricant and spread the gel evenly. Because it is water-based, it may gradually dry out during prolonged use. If this happens, simply apply some additional gel.
Euroglider Superlube is available in a 250 ml bottle and can be ordered by both consumers and business customers. Are you an organisation, retailer or reseller looking to purchase larger quantities? Please contact us.
Europharma E-Ph+ sterile lubricant
Europharma E-Ph+ is a sterile lubricating gel for professional and medical use. This product differs from regular lubricants because it has been developed for applications where hygienic and controlled use is important.
The gel is suitable for use during medical examinations and procedures where additional lubrication is required, for example in hospitals and midwifery practices. Always follow the product instructions and the applicable protocols within the professional environment.
Water-based vs silicone-based lubricant: what is the difference?
The main difference lies in the composition and how long the lubricant remains effective. Water-based lubricant is easy to wash off and suitable for a wide range of applications. Silicone-based lubricant stays slippery for longer and generally does not need to be reapplied as frequently.
Which of these types of lubricant is better? There is no single answer. For shorter periods of use or when easy cleaning is important, a water-based lubricant may be preferable. For longer periods of use, a silicone-based lubricant may offer greater convenience.
How do you choose the best lubricant?
When comparing different types of lubricant, consider the following points:
- Determine what you will use the lubricant for. A lubricant suitable for intimate use may differ from one intended for medical or professional applications.
- Choose between water-based and silicone-based lubricant. Water-based lubricant is easy to wash off, while silicone-based lubricant generally stays slippery for longer.
- Check the ingredients. Review the ingredients if you want to avoid certain substances or have specific preferences.
- Check material compatibility. If you use the lubricant with a sex toy or another material, check whether the combination is suitable.
- Choose a suitable pack size. A smaller package may be convenient for personal use. Larger packs or bulk quantities are often more suitable for professional users and business customers.
- Consider the intended application. A sterile lubricating gel may be required for medical examinations and certain professional applications.
