Lube Reviews: Find the Perfect Lubricant for You

When it comes to enhancing pleasure and comfort, sex lubricants can make all the difference. But with so many options, how do you choose the best one? That’s where my Lube Reviews come in. I personally test and review a wide range of lubricants to help you find the perfect match for your needs.

What Are the Different Types of Lube?

Not all lubricants are the same, and choosing the right one depends on how you plan to use it. Here are the main types:

Water-Based Lube

Water-based lubricants are the most versatile. They’re safe to use with all sex toys, easy to clean, and available in a variety of formulations. Whether you prefer a light, natural feel or a thick, long-lasting glide, there’s a water-based option for you.

Silicone Lube

Looking for a longer-lasting glide? Silicone-based lubricants don’t dry out quickly, making them perfect for extended pleasure sessions. Contrary to common belief, silicone lube is safe for use with genuine silicone sex toys—just do a patch test first to be sure.

Hybrid Lube

A mix of water and silicone, hybrid lubricants offer the best of both worlds. They provide the slickness of silicone while remaining easy to clean like water-based lubes. Many hybrids are also safe for a variety of toy materials.

Anal Lube

Since the anal area doesn’t produce its own natural lubrication, a thicker, long-lasting anal lube is essential for comfort and safety. Many anal lubes are silicone-based or hybrid for extra cushioning.

Oil-Based Lube

Great for massage and masturbation, oil-based lubricants provide a rich, smooth texture. However, they’re not compatible with latex condoms and can be harder to clean.

Sexual Lubricant Guides

I have written a series of guides to sexual lubricants, please find them below:

Why Use Lube?

Adding a quality lubricant to your play can:

  • Enhance comfort and prevent friction
  • Increase sensitivity for heightened pleasure
  • Make sex toys and penetrative play more enjoyable
  • Help if your body doesn’t produce enough natural lubrication

Honest, Thorough Lube Reviews You Can Trust

I believe in real, hands-on testing, so my Lube Reviews offer detailed insights into texture, longevity, compatibility, and overall performance. Whether you’re looking for the best anal lube, a toy-safe option, or a luxurious hybrid, you’ll find genuine recommendations here.

Bondara Essentials Cooling Tingling Lubricant Review | Pleasure Panel

Materials:
Silicone, Water
I really enjoyed the use of the Bondara Essentials Cooling Tingling Lubricant, the overwhelming senses did lead to a brilliant orgasm and boy does the cooling hanging around for a long time – the smell is very strong, it’s quite medicinal, normally I’d be all over this lube as it has menthol in it but it does honk and the intense feelings are a fine line between enjoyment and pain but overall if it didn’t have glycerine in it, I’d rate this lube quite high.

Well, let’s first admit I am really into kissable/edible sex essentials, not only lube but also massage oils, body paint, flavoured lip glosses and clitoral balms. Not only because I’m blatantly someone who REALLY loves food – and sweet food, sadly, is on the top ten of my favourites – but also because I feel they really bring new sensations to sex...

I was too curious to try this Bondara Essentials Spunk Lubricant! Since my guy lives in another city because of his work, I have definitely experienced what “I crave a good old facial and I just cannot have it right now” means; also, having some (fake) jizz always ready for some torrid bukkake play on Skype seemed a fun and stimulating idea. In this kind of situations, after all, play and creativity are the only things that help you survive the relationship I’m afraid :)

System JO Premium Jelly Silicone Based Personal Lubricant Review

10 out of 10
The System JO Premium Jelly Silicone Based Personal Lubricant stuck out to me on October's Pleasure Panel listing as the word jelly implies that it has a thick consistency and there's nothing I love more than a thick lube.

Lubricant isn't something i'd ever considered needing a review really - lube is lube, right? Wrong! This is something I've come to learn very quickly this month! The opportunity arose and I thought "Yeah, why not?"

...when offered the chance to review the System JO Nuru Full Body Sensual Massage Gel I thought to myself, here is a great chance to see if they live up to the promise and can they deliver a high end product that I would consider is worth the outlay.

Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
I received the System JO H2O Jelly Water Based Personal Lubricant as a reviewer for the Pleasure Panel. I have reviewed many toys during my time so far on the Pleasure Panel, many of which are silicone and therefore require water-based lubricants to prevent damage so can never have enough compatible lubes.
YES WB Organic Water Based Lube Review

The YES WB Organic Water Based Lube is described on the website as “silky, smooth and non-tacky” and you know what I fully have to agree with each of those points!

Sliquid Organics Silk Hybrid Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:

You can never have enough lube. I use it very often, since sex toys feature heavily in my sex life, but it also makes sex without toys easier and more fun for many people. And Sliquid Organics Silk Hybrid Lube has the best of both worlds...
Sliquid Sizzle Stimulating Lube

Sliquid Sizzle Stimulating Lube Review

Price:
£14.00
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
This lube (the Sliquid Sizzle Stimulating Lube), however, is a sort of combination of the two; it is a water-based sensitizer but it’s qualified as a lube rather than a gel, so it comes in a much larger quantity.

Lately I have seen a new market open up for 'natural lubes'. They have intrigued me due to the more natural ingredients and mostly catering for vegans. I put myself forward to review the Sliquid Organics Natural Aloe Lube for the Pleasure Panel and was chosen.
YES Organic Lubricants and Intimate Moisturisers Review

YES OB Plant Oil Based Lube Review

6 out of 10
Price:
£5.95
Materials:
Oil
I chose to test the YES OB Plant Oil Based Lube with my newest glass dildo which features a very large bulbous head. Normally I would only use a tint drop of water based lube on a glass toy but the sheer size of the head on this made me want to try something more substantial that was going to last.

YES BUT Water Based Anal Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£9.95
Texture wise YES BUT Water Based Anal Lube is super thick, it's silky to the touch which surprised me, I've only found that sort of texture before in glycerine containing water based lubes which I actively avoid.

Wicked Aqua Sweet Peach Lube Review

The consistency and texture of this Wicked Aqua Sweet Peach Lube really won us over. It is super thin and has a silky gloss like feeling, but surprisingly not runny. I can’t stand a lube that slides off right after you apply it.

Wicked Ultra Silicone Lube Review

7 out of 10
It works, but like no better than a lot of other lubes I’ve tried, but then it isn’t the worst lube ever either, nowhere near. I definitely wouldn’t use this anally, it’s way too thin and absorbs too easily, so avoid for that use I think…

Wicked Aqua Water Based Lube Review

Further testing confirmed my first impressions… This Wicked Aqua Water Based Lube definitely works for vaginal sex very well, I used it on un-lubed condoms and it worked fabulously when I very desperately needed lube as we’d had minimal foreplay and my post-period hormones were making me drier than usual.
Wicked Crème Masturbation Cream For Men Review

Wicked Crème Masturbation Cream For Men Review

9 out of 10
The Wicked Crème Masturbation Cream remains thick enough to provide a level of comfort and glide that isn't possible with regular water based lubes. I won't go into too much detail but I will say that my partner is uncircumcised and can find moving his foreskin back and forth whilst masturbating uncomfortable unless there's enough lubricant.

Wicked Aqua Pink Lemonade Lube Review

Price:

Shop:

Materials:

I had actually seen this product announced on Twitter a few weeks before Cara offered it for review, and I loved the sound of it so was rather excited to see it up for testing. My partner loves the taste of pink lemonade so this was a lubricant that very much appealed to him.

YES OB Organic Plant Oil Based Lubricant Review

7 out of 10
Price:
£9.95
Materials:
Oil
The YES OB Organic Plant Oil Based Lubricant isn’t the thickest lube I must admit, and over time, perhaps with the oils heating up and being squeezed a few times, this lube seems to have gotten runnier and has thinned out slightly from the first time I used it. I don’t really think it’s thick enough for use anally. The texture does mean, however, that you could use it also as a massage oil in a pinch, a use which the product itself claims you can do.
