A lubricant is a substance that is used to reduce friction between surfaces having mutual contact. Water-based lubricants are otherwise known as water-based lube. It helps in making sex comfortable as it is compatible with condoms. As these lubricants do not contain oil, they are easy to clean and do not cause a stain. It is ideal for use in sex toys. The natural water-based lubricants are aloe vera, plain yogurt, olive oil, and virgin coconut oil.
