No matter what kind of sex you enjoy, having some kind of lube in your toolkit is quintessential in order to have a pleasurable experience. You might think that only people who practice anal or generally rough sex have the need for additional lubrication, but you would be wrong. We all have our 'off' days when we're not particularly in the mood, or natural lubrication just doesn't kick in. Even if you enjoy the sensation of pain during intercourse, dry humping is just asking for trouble for a number of reasons. Lack of lubrication can cause very uncomfortable irritations and, in some cases, even skin tears which can easily develop into an infection. Also, if you are a fan of sex toys, lubes are probably already an indispensable part of your playtime. Now that we established the importance of lubricants, it's time to determine which one is perfectly suited for your needs. There are many types of lubricants that can be used in several different instances. Thankfully, our collection features them all.

What do we offer?

The simplest way to make sex better, crazier, safer, and slicker, is to lube it up. Now, different lubes serve different purposes, so to get a better understanding of which lube is best suited for your needs, we'll need to cover them all. Probably the most widespread types of motion lotions are water-based lubricants. These products have a lot going for them, so it's no wonder they are so popular. Water-based lubricants are easy to apply and even easier to wash off, they are safe to use with condoms, compatible with the majority of sex toys, and are generally the most affordable among all types of lubes. However, they don't last over an extended period of time which makes them less than ideal for longer sessions. Pausing and applying more lube will solve this shortcoming. If you're interested in trying out one of these products, the Sliquid Naturals H20 Original Lubricant is a proven performer.

If you're looking to pave a slippery road into a long night full of excitement, a very popular choice would be silicone-based lubes. Compared to their water-based counterparts, these lubricants are thicker and require less reapplying so you can use them sparingly. They won't dissolve in contact with water, which makes them the preferred choice for some hot tub action. They are also safe to use with condoms. That being said, there are some downsides to consider before purchasing silicone-based lubricants. Silicone lubes will damage silicone-made toys, so they definitely shouldn't be the choice for your masturbation purposes. Also, if used excessively, they can leave stains that are hard to remove. With all that in mind, silicone-based lubes are a fan favorite when it comes to vaginal and anal sex. A good example of a high-quality silicone-based lubricant is the Überlube Silicone Personal Lubricant.

For those who are looking to add a little flavor to their fellatio and cunnilingus sessions, flavored lubes are a sure thing. With just a couple of drops, you'll make oral sex taste like the most exotic fruit or the sweetest piece of chocolate. Everything's better with a little bit of extra flavor so make sure to try these products out. One of the best-selling products on the market right now is the Jo H2O Flavored Lubricant. It comes in a variety of flavors but we are absolutely mad about the succulent watermelon.

Up your foreplay game and give your partner a sensual erotic massage with the help of premium quality massage oils. Oil-based lubricants have been around for a while and are extremely popular because of their multi-functional capability. You can start off slow with a sexy rub on the back and then ooze your way into something more intimate. When using specially formulated massage lotions, there really is no telling where the night might take you, but be wary of oily stains. Nobody likes dirty sheets. Our favorite one is the Earthly Body Edible Massage Oil Strawberry. Not only is it ingestible, but it's also 100% vegan-friendly.

Last but not least, we can't forget about sexual desensitizers and their importance in overcoming one's soft limits and indulging in more painful forms of sex. A lot of women won't even think of having anal sex without previously applying some form of sexual desensitizer. They are also popular among the male audience because of their ability to help them stay longer in the saddle. The Anal-Ese Numbing Anal Lubricant and Sensuva On Bold Delay Gel Male Desensitizer are both great choices if you're looking to give sexual desensitizers a go.

Advantages of using Lubricants

As previously mentioned, lubricants will improve almost every aspect of your sex life. They make using condoms a much more pleasurable option. They help you discover new sexual frontiers by eliminating the element of pain that is frequently associated with trying out the kinkier side of sex. On top of all that, they reduce the chance of nasty skin irritations, injuries, and infections. They can also introduce something new to the table in the form of various flavors and scents that can make your sex much more interesting. Really, there is no reason not to use them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are water-based lubricants better than silicone ones?

A: This will depend on what you use them for. Water-based lubricants are compatible with most sex toys so they are the preferred choice for masturbating purposes.

Q: How much lube is too much?

A: While there isn't necessarily the right amount of lube for every scenario, using too little will negate the effect while going overboard will significantly decrease sensitivity. It's a matter of trial and error until you find the right amount that suits your needs.

Q: What are the best lubricants for anal sex?

A: When it comes to anal sex, any form of lubrication is better than none. That being said, various forms of desensitizing lubes are among the most popular because of their numbing properties, which help tremendously in making the experience far more pleasurable.
