Today’s products have been added agents for moisture retention, dispersal and even for resisting contamination. The alteration of viscosity of these products can be done by adjusting cellulose concentration, the water content or other hydrophilic ingredient for gel forming. Usually when the water based lubricant is applied on the skin, some lubricant get absorbed in the skin while the other evaporates. Most of the lubricant dries up during usage but it can be reactivated by either reapplying or application of water or saliva. This is a very good way to reactivate them. A residue derived from ingredient formulation may be left behind when the lubricant dries out. This needs removal of the residue with water or reapplying again during sex. Water based lubes that are recent are made with natural skin moisturizers for example carrageen an and they do not leave behind sticky residue after evaporating. Research has proved that carrageen is a potent inhibitor of human papilloma virus infection. Sexual acts that occur under water like in the pool, hot tub or bathtub may be incompatible with water based lubricant. Recommendation has been made to use water based lubricants for safety sex.
