SEX LUBRICANTS
Water-based, silicone-based, and hybrid sex lubricants. Suitable for vaginal, anal, or oral sex, and compatible with condoms.
What is a water-based lubricant and how to use it?
A water-based lubricant is a gel formulated to reduce friction during sexual activity , providing a more comfortable and natural feel.
It can be applied directly to intimate areas or sex toys, making it easy to spread and pleasant to the touch , without leaving sticky residues behind.
Its light texture and compatibility with different products make it a versatile ally in intimacy.
Free from oils and silicones, it is safe for your body and rinses off easily with water, making it very easy to clean after use.
Available in various types: neutral and unscented , fruity flavors , warming or cooling effects, vegan formulas, or enriched with aloe vera to care for your skin.
Are they compatible with condoms and sex toys?
Water-based lubricants are fully compatible with latex and polyurethane condoms , as they don’t degrade the material or reduce effectiveness.
They are safe to use with sex toys , especially those made of medical-grade silicone , helping prevent damage or wear.
Thanks to their compatibility with both toys and condoms, water-based lubricants are the most versatile choice for any intimate moment.
Their formula is water-soluble , meaning they rinse off easily, and their balanced pH ensures intimate care and comfort .
Since they don’t leave greasy residue, they simplify toy cleaning and allow safe condom use , offering comfort and confidence every time.
What is a silicone-based lubricant and how to use it?
A silicone-based lubricant is a denser and longer-lasting intimate gel , designed to provide extended glide without frequent reapplication .
It can be applied to intimate areas or directly on the condom, and its composition doesn’t dry out quickly like other lubricants, making it ideal for long sessions or aquatic play.
Its water resistance allows use in the shower or bathtub.
Because it’s not easily absorbed by the skin, it offers constant protection and is especially useful for dryness. It’s also effective for intense sex thanks to its prolonged smoothness.
Available in standard or concentrated formulas. Leading brands include Eros and Pjur, with specific products for women.
Are they compatible with condoms and sex toys?
Silicone-based lubricants are fully compatible with latex and polyurethane condoms as they don’t damage the material or reduce protection.
However, they’re not recommended for silicone toys as they can damage the surface and shorten its lifespan. It’s best to use them with metal or glass toys .
Glass toys (or tempered glass) are safe because glass doesn’t absorb lubricant, maintains hygiene, enhances glide and is easy to sterilize.
They’re also suitable for stainless steel toys (like metal anal plugs) as they’re hygienic, sterilizable and extremely durable.

How to use a lubricant for anal sex?
Anal lubricant is applied to the anus and the toy or penis before penetration, as the anus does not produce natural lubrication and needs external help for safe glide.
It's recommended to use a generous amount and reapply as needed, as this reduces friction , prevents discomfort , and ensures a much smoother experience.
A good anal lubricant improves tissue elasticity and helps you enjoy with greater safety and confidence.
The texture is usually denser and longer-lasting than other lubricants, providing extended protection and a soft feel even during long sessions.
There are different types to suit your needs: water-based , silicone-based , for intense practices like fisting , in spray format, hybrids, or even oil-based .
Are they compatible with condoms and anal toys?
Compatibility depends on the formula: water-based and silicone-based lubricants are safe with condoms and most anal toys.
Water-based ones are 100% compatible with latex and medical-grade silicone, while silicone ones last longer but aren't recommended for silicone toys as they may damage the surface .
Hybrid lubricants (water + silicone) offer a balance between durability and safety , suitable for most toys and condoms.
When using condoms, avoid oil-based lubricants, as they can damage latex and compromise safety.
What is the difference between a water‑based and a silicone‑based lubricant?
The main difference lies in the duration and texture they provide during use.
Water‑based lubricants are lightweight, easy to clean and compatible with condoms and toys, though they tend to dry out sooner. Silicone ones, on the other hand, are denser, water‑resistant and offer longer lasting glide.
Water formulas are ideal for daily use and silicone toys, while silicone lubricants are best for longer sessions or shower play.
Both are safe and effective; the choice depends on your preferences and type of intimate practice.
Water‑based lubricants are versatile and practical, whereas silicone formulations stand out for their resistance and prolonged duration.
How long does each lubricant last?
The duration depends on the formula and base used in the lubricant.
A water‑based lubricant often dries faster, requiring reapplication, though it is easy to reactivate with a few drops of water.
Silicone lubricants are much more durable, able to maintain lubrication for hours.
Silicone keeps its effect even in water, ideal for shower play, while water formulas are perfect for those seeking ease and quick cleanup.
Hybrid lubricants offer a middle ground between longevity and ease of cleaning, while those designed for anal use tend to be thicker and more resistant for added comfort.
How are they cleaned after use?
Cleaning depends on the lubricant’s base used during the encounter.
Water‑based ones are the easiest and fastest to clean: they rinse off with water and mild soap. Silicone types require more thorough washing with neutral soap and sometimes a special intimate cleanser. Hybrids clean similarly to water-based, though with a bit more effort. Anal formulas, being denser, require deeper washing and plenty of water.
Proper hygiene prevents irritation and keeps both your body and toys in excellent condition.
For added safety, always dry your skin or toy with a clean cloth and ensure no residue remains, as silicone lubricants may leave a film on skin or toys if not rinsed thoroughly.
What is a hybrid lubricant?
A hybrid lubricant combines water and silicone bases, aiming to deliver the best of both in one formula.
Its texture is as light as water, yet it provides longer glide thanks to silicone, making it versatile and practical for different types of play.
They are safe for most intimate uses, offering a balance between durability and ease of cleaning.
This lubricant is for you if you want longer-lasting effect than water-based, but without the thickness of pure silicone.
So... how does it differ from silicone-based? Hybrid feels more natural, discreet and is compatible with most sex toys. Silicone-based gives a more intense, silky sensation that lasts longer. It’s not compatible with silicone toys.
Are flavored lubricants safe for oral sex?
Flavored lubricants with tastes and scents are specially formulated to be safe during oral sex.
They typically contain food-grade ingredients, making them safe to ingest in small amounts while adding a fun, sensual twist.
Besides enhancing pleasure, they are often free of added sugars to avoid intimate discomfort.
It’s important to choose flavored lubes that are dermatologically and clinically tested to ensure safe use.
These products provide safety, condom compatibility, flavor variety, and allow for oral-to-penetrative play with no concerns.
Can they cause skin side effects?
Sexual lubricants are generally safe, but some may cause mild reactions on sensitive skin due to certain ingredients.
Some users might experience redness or itching, especially with warming, cooling, or strongly scented products.
Most modern lubricants are dermatologically tested to reduce irritation risks.
It’s recommended to test a small amount first and choose hypoallergenic or paraben-free formulas if you have sensitive skin.
If you're prone to allergies or sensitivity, go for a neutral lubricant—hypoallergenic and free from scents, flavors, or extra effects.
How does warming / cooling effect work?
Lubricants with warming or cooling effects stimulate skin and mucosal receptors, creating extra thermal sensations during intimate contact.
Warming enhances blood flow, while cooling gives a refreshing feel; both can lead to increased sensitivity and more variety in sexual experiences.
These effects add extra stimulation, intensifying pleasure with a gentle thermal contrast.
The sensation is activated by friction and can be amplified with breathing or blowing on the skin, offering unique and playful erotic experiences.
Are there benefits if it contains aloe vera or is vegan?
Lubricants with aloe vera provide soothing and hydrating properties, helping to keep skin and intimate areas comfortable during use.
Vegan formulas avoid animal-derived ingredients and animal testing, offering an ethical and eco-conscious option.
Both types provide extra benefits: skin care and alignment with sustainable values.
Aloe vera helps prevent irritation and adds freshness, while vegan lubricants ensure safe, responsible ingredients for intimate wellness.
Both are gentle, condom-safe, and suitable for sensitive skin with a more natural approach.
Can I use lubricant if I'm pregnant?
Water-based lubricants with balanced pH are safe during pregnancy, as long as they are free from parabens or harsh chemicals.
Avoid those with anesthetics, hormones or strong additives, and choose neutral, gentle, dermatologically tested lubricants.
Lubricants can help ease common pregnancy discomforts, as long as they are safe and approved by your doctor.
When in doubt, consult a healthcare provider and opt for simple, respectful formulas designed for intimate care.
