Condom Lubricant Guide

Why Lubricant Matters

Lubrication:

1. Reduces friction — decreasing breakage risk
2. Enhances sensation — for both partners
3. Prevents micro-tears — reducing STI transmission risk
4. Increases comfort — particularly important for longer sessions

Water-Based Lubricants

Safe with: Latex, polyisoprene, polyurethane condoms ✅

Pros:

• Compatible with all condom materials
• Safe for use with sex toys (silicone toys included)
• Easy to clean
• Available everywhere

Cons:

• Absorbs quickly — needs reapplication
• Can feel 'watery' rather than slick

Silicone-Based Lubricants

Safe with: Latex, polyisoprene, polyurethane condoms ✅ Not safe with: Silicone sex toys ❌

Pros:

• Long-lasting — doesn't absorb or dry out
• Waterproof — suitable for wet environments
• Silky, high-quality feel
• ULEX® pre-lubrication standard

Cons:

• Degrades silicone toys
• Harder to wash off

Oil-Based Lubricants

Safe with: Polyurethane condoms only ⚠️ NOT safe with: Latex or polyisoprene condoms ❌

Oil-based lubricants (coconut oil, baby oil, petroleum jelly, body lotion) degrade natural rubber latex — creating microtears that can lead to STI transmission or pregnancy. Never use oil-based lubricants with ULEX® Premium Condoms.

ULEX® Pre-Lubrication

All ULEX® Premium Condoms come pre-lubricated with premium silicone lubricant — calibrated for the correct amount to enhance sensation without masking texture (important for ribbed and dotted variants).

Additional lubricant can be applied outside the condom — use water-based or silicone-based only.
