Product Information

Warming lubes are perfect for couples who know how pleasurable a slippery lube can be, but are looking for new, more exhilarating sensations.? Isabel Vasquez RD, LDN is a registered dietitian and freelance health and nutrition writer. Her work is especially focused on helping individuals divest from a one-size-fits-all approach to health and connect with their unique needs. Besides silicone, this lube includes vitamin E for skin rejuvenation and aloe vera for moisturization. This can help prevent small skin tears during sex that increase the risk of infection. All of the experts we spoke to discouraged the use of flavored or scented personal lubricants for anal, vaginal, and oral sex. What’s more, avoid glycerin in your lubes, as it contains sugar, and that can alter vaginal pH, SELF previously reported. Water-based lube is also the best lube for sensitive skin. According to Engle and Dr. Queen, you should also avoid petroleum-based lubricants, and anything with parabens or preservatives. Oh, and please don’t put Vaseline down there. If you use a lube with numbing agents that gives you “tingly” or desensitizing sensations for vaginal sex, Dr. Queen says to skip it for anal play. “Anal sex can be painful when it’s not done right, but you want to listen to those messages and respond accordingly,” she says. “Slow down, add lube, take a break, ask your partner to be more gentle, etc. You don’t want to ignore your body’s signals. If you’re numb, you won’t receive those signals clearly, which can put you at risk.” We also love that the bottle almost looks like a perfume bottle, so you could get away with leaving it on your nightstand without it being obvious that it’s lube. It has a pump to easily dispense it as needed.

Pros: Compatible with all condoms and sex toys; gel-like consistency doesn’t drip much; contains skin-soothing ingredients; sleek branding; convenient pump-top If you choose to use an additional lubricant, make sure to choose one that is compatible with the type of condom you're using. Oil-based lubes do not pair well with latex condoms.A “warming” lubricant or oil ( see our selection here) contains minty or peppery ingredients, which increase sensation and stimulate circulation in genitals before and during sex, with or without a personal vibrator. With its reputation for being a great sex toy brand, it makes sense that Lelo makes a damn good lube to use with all those little gadgets that's glycerin- and paraben-free. It features a hint of aloe to avoid any greasiness, and yes, it's obviously safe to use with your sex toys because it is a water-based lube. We appreciate that the bottle is discreet, so it’s easy to keep on your nightstand without anyone realizing it’s lube. Plus, it has a hand pump that makes dispensing it seamless. The Ingredient List: Certain lube ingredients are known to cause vaginal irritation and/or infections—including glycerin, nonoxynol-9, and propylene glycol—so these are best avoided. You’ll also want to stay away from parabens (i.e. any ingredient with a name ending in -paraben), which have been shown to disrupt the endocrine system. Finally, steer clear of any lube containing sugar or sucralose, unless you want a hell of a yeast infection. Here's how to use a lube, says Dr. Streicher: “The time to apply lubricant is before you attempt intercourse. You squeeze it on your fingers, and if there’s a penis involved, you apply it liberally to the penis, and to the opening of the vagina [or anus].” It’s important to warm the lube first, she adds: “If you put cold lube on an erection, he might lose it.”

Don't listen to anyone who tells you that good sex means never needing to reach for the best sex lubes to move things along. On the contrary, a proper lubricant is a way of prioritizing everyone's comfort in the bedroom. No matter what type of sex you’re having—even just solo sex—lube can make it better. When being intimate, the last thing you should be thinking about is harmful chemicals in your body.

How We Selected the Best LubesHybrid lubes typically have a combination of water and silicone, so they have a mix of the pros and cons of each option. The water makes them easy to clean up and the silicone keeps them from drying out so they last longer. The ingredients are naturally hydrating so your skin will feel silky smooth when you’re done. It has a mild vanilla scent thanks to the vanilla flavor added, but nothing too strong. It’s even safe to swallow! Dezzutti CS, Brown ER, Moncla B, et al. Is wetter better?
