Lubricant can make intimate moments and toy use more comfortable, but different formulas are made for different situations. Choosing the right one is mainly about how you plan to use it and what it will come into contact with.
Water-based lubricants
Water-based lubricants are a common everyday option because they are easy to clean and work for many uses. They may need to be reapplied during longer sessions.
Using lubricant with toys
Always check the care instructions for your toy. Material compatibility matters, and the safest choice is to follow the manufacturer’s guidance for that specific product rather than assume every lubricant works with every material.
Using lubricant with condoms
Check the lubricant and condom packaging for compatibility before use. Product instructions should take priority when you are unsure.
