A quick and easy guide to choosing the best personal lubricants for sex.
Do I need to use lube?
The body produces its own lubrication through vaginal arousal fluids and saliva but we highly recommend using a lube to make sexual acts more comfortable and pleasurable. The anal canal does not produce its own fluids so it is necessary to use a lubricant if you are having anal sex.
Which type of lube should I buy?
Water-based lubes are our all around favorite type of lube. Always keep this type on hand as it's your best bet for most sexy situations.
✅ Sex toy compatible
✅ Safe to use with latex condoms
✅ Won't stain fabrics
✅ Safe for masturbation, vaginal, and anal sex
✅ Ideal for people with sensitivities
Silicone lubes are long-lasting, utlra-slick, and great for water-friendly fun. These are best for longer sex sessions as you rarely need to reapply.
