A 2010 Study by Microbicides, building bridges in HIV Prevention, compared five lubricants against each other (Astroglide, Elbow Grease, ID Glide, KY Jelly, and Wet Platinum). A sixth product named PRÉ was used as a control. The study was looking for the safest lubricant that did the least amount of damage to cellular walls, during sex.
Synthetic oil is a lubricant consisting of chemical compounds that are artificially modified or synthesised. Synthetic oil is used as a substitute for petroleum-refined oils when operating in extreme temperature, in metal stamping to provide environmental and other benefits, and to lubricate pendulum clocks .
