Lubricants

Choosing the right lubricant can make a huge difference in comfort and pleasure, especially when you're circumcised. Since many of us have less movable skin, particularly when erect, good lubrication is simply a must for many cut guys.

Without the natural gliding mechanism of a foreskin, comfortable sex or masturbation becomes more difficult. Finding a lube that stays slick can significantly improve things.

Water-based Lubricants

These can dry out more quickly than silicone-based or oil-based lubes, which make them less ideal for us cut guys, but they are typically inexpensive and easy to find. Also they are easy to clean up and wash out of clothes or sheets. Here are some examples you may like:

These lubes are generally available from retailers like Walmart.

Water-based lubes are often the most common and widely available. So you may try them first if you are new to using lubricants.

Silicone-based Lubricants

This type of lube provides longer-lasting lubrication without drying out quickly. They stay slick for longer, which is particularly beneficial for us circumcised men.

Replens Silky Smooth Personal Lubricant
K-Y True Feel Personal Lube
Astroglide X
Durex Perfect Glide (I have used this one and liked it, as it does provide long-lasting glide)

If you use silicone-based lubes in bed, they may leave stains that are more difficult to remove - simply laundering the sheets may not be sufficient. Check out this video How To Clean Lube Stains Out of Sheets from Astroglide for tips.

Silicone- and oil-based lubes are long-lasting, very slippery, and don't dry out easily. However they can be tricky on sheets - simple washing might not be enough

Sensation-Enhancing Lubricants

Some of us may prefer lubes that provide extra stimulation, and use lubes with a warming, cooling or tingling effect. These are usually water-based, so they might have the same drawback of drying out.

K-Y Warming Lube
Durex Intense Orgasmic Gel

I found the Durex Intense gel had a noticeable warming/tingling effect which was interesting.It's very much a personal preference thing!
