Lubricant is the cheapest thing in this shop and the one that changes the most. The only real decision is the base, because the base decides what the lubricant may touch: your toys, your condoms and your skin.

Water based

The all rounder. It works with every material, including silicone toys, and with every type of condom. It washes off with water, leaves no stains and is the mildest choice for sensitive skin.

The one drawback is that it dries as the water evaporates. Add a few drops of water or a little more gel rather than starting again. Thicker water based gels last noticeably longer and are the right choice for anal use.

Silicone based

Silicone lubricant does not dry out, stays slippery in the shower or the bath and needs far less product. It is safe with latex condoms and with glass, steel and ABS.

Never use it on a silicone toy: the two react and the surface of the toy turns permanently tacky. It also leaves marks on fabric, so keep a towel underneath.

Hybrid, oil and natural

A hybrid is mostly water with a little silicone. It lasts longer than water alone and is usually still safe with silicone toys, though the product page is what decides that.

Oil based products and anything with coconut oil should not be used with latex condoms, because oil weakens latex. Keep oils for massage rather than for penetration.

What to read on the label

Look for a formula free of glycerin and parabens if you are prone to irritation, since glycerin is a sugar and can feed yeast. A pH around 4 and a low osmolality are gentler on vaginal tissue. Flavoured gels contain sweeteners and belong to oral play rather than inside the body.

Warming, cooling and stimulating gels use ingredients such as menthol or capsicum. Test a drop on the inside of the wrist first, and never use a numbing product to push through pain.

How to use it

Use more than you think, warm it in your hands first and reapply before things start to drag rather than after. If you are using condoms, put the lubricant on the outside of the condom and only a drop inside.

Frequently asked questions

Which lubricant goes with a silicone toy?

A water-based lubricant, or a hybrid that is labelled silicone-safe. Pure silicone lubricant can react with silicone toys and leave the surface sticky or rough for good. Silicone lubricant is fine with glass, stainless steel and hard plastic toys, and it is a great choice in the shower because water does not wash it away.

Is lubricant safe with condoms?

Water-based and silicone-based lubricants are both safe with latex condoms. Oil-based products, including massage oils and coconut oil, are not compatible with latex, because oil weakens the material and can make a condom tear. With latex-free condoms, check the packaging to see which lubricants the maker recommends.

Which lubricant is best for anal use?

A thick water-based gel or a dedicated anal formula that stays in place, or a silicone lubricant if you use glass or steel toys or no toys at all. The body does not lubricate itself here, so apply generously and reapply often. Avoid numbing products: discomfort is a useful signal to slow down.

Can lubricant cause irritation?

Some people react to glycerin, sugary flavours, warming or cooling agents and strong scents. If you have sensitive skin, choose a fragrance-free gel without glycerin or parabens, and test a small amount on your inner arm first. Stop using any product that stings or itches, and see a doctor if the irritation continues.

How much lubricant should I use, and does it stain?

Start with an amount the size of a coin and add more as soon as anything feels dry; too much is rarely a problem. Water-based lubricant washes out of sheets with plain water. Silicone lubricant lasts much longer but can leave marks on fabric, so wash those with detergent at a warm temperature.
