How to Pick the Perfect Lube for you

Let’s be real—lube is a game-changer! Whether you're flying solo, having fun with a partner, or just looking to add some extra comfort, the right lubricant can take your experience from "meh" to "mind-blowing." But with so many options out there, how do you pick the perfect one? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Let’s break it down!

The Main Types of Lube

  1. Water-Based Lubricants
  • Pros: Super versatile, plays well with all toys and condoms, easy to clean, and won’t stain your sheets.
  • Cons: Dries out faster, so you might need to reapply.
  • Best For: Everyday use, vaginal sex, toy play, and those with sensitive skin.
  • Try it here: Shop Water-Based Lubes
  1. Silicone-Based Lubricants
  • Pros: Ultra-long-lasting, waterproof (shower fun, anyone?), and extra smooth.
  • Cons: Can be tricky to wash off and isn’t compatible with silicone toys.
  • Best For: Marathon sessions, shower/bath play, and people who love silky-smooth slickness.
  • Get yours here: Shop Silicone-Based Lubes
  1. Oil-Based Lubricants
  • Pros: Super silky, lasts forever, and great for massages.
  • Cons: Can stain fabrics, isn’t latex condom-friendly, and can be harder to wash off.
  • Best For: External play, massages, and those not using latex protection.
  • Check it out: Shop Oil-Based Lubes
  1. Hybrid Lubricants (Water + Silicone Blend)
  • Pros: Best of both worlds—long-lasting like silicone but easier to clean.
  • Cons: Might not be 100% safe for silicone toys.
  • Best For: Those who want slickness without the cleanup hassle.
  • Find yours here: Shop Hybrid Lubes

How to Pick the Perfect Lube for YOU

  1. What Are You Using It For?
  • Vaginal sex? Go for water-based or hybrid.
  • Anal play? A thicker silicone or water-based lube works best.
  • Toys? Water-based lubes are your best bet (unless your toy is glass or metal).
  • Oral? Flavored, body-safe lubes make things tasty and fun.
  1. Got Sensitive Skin?
  • Look for hypoallergenic, glycerin-free, and paraben-free options to avoid irritation.
  • Aloe-based or organic lubes can be a great natural choice.
  1. Safety First!
  • Using condoms? Stick to water-based or silicone-based lubes (but NOT oil-based).
  • Using silicone toys? Avoid silicone lubes to prevent damage.
  1. Want Extra Fun?
  • Some lubes have warming, cooling, or tingling effects—experiment and see what you love!
  • Try sample sizes before committing to a full bottle.
