Lube Reviews: Find the Perfect Lubricant for You

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

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

8 out of 10
Price:
£8.00
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Water
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.
TENGA Real Hole Lotion Review

TENGA Real Hole Lotion Review

Price:
£18.99
Brand:
TENGA
Materials:
Water
What I enjoy about this TENGA Real Hole Lotion is the consistency that has been made to perfection. That allows you to enjoy an ideal smooth glide during masturbation, as you can relax and enjoy the masturbator you are using.

YES WB Organic Water Based Lubricant Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£9.95
The YES WB Organic Water Based Lubricant comes in a little tube packed in a box. The tube itself is relatively small and stands on its end. The lid pops up quite easily so you’re not fumbling with the tube while you are in the middle of play. The only criticism of the tube I have is that the opening itself was quite large.

System JO Agapé Glycerine Free Water Based Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£5.95
Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
The System JO Agapé Glycerine Free Water Based Lube is an excellent example of what a personal lubricant for women should be. It does not contain glycerine, so no worries using it vaginally. There's no parabens, making it even safer to use intimately. The lube is nicely presented with full product details on the label, crystal clear, super slippery and easy to wash off.

As a child, I frequently visited fairs, or carnivals as they're more commonly known in other parts of the world. One of my most favourite things to eat at a fair was a candy apple. You can imagine my delight and slight surprise when I noticed the Wicked Aqua Candy Apple Flavoured Lube available to review
Pjur Power Cream Hybrid Lube Review

Pjur Power Cream Hybrid Lube Review

Price:
£17.00
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Silicone, Water
The Pjur Power Cream Hybrid Lube is a silicone + water hybrid lubricant which is latex condom safe. I have a few minor complaints, but overall it is a great addition to most bedrooms (or wherever you play). If you’re looking for an alternative to the usual liquid lubes that can run off your body or just want to try something different, this is a good option.

System JO Gelato Flavoured Lubes Review

Price:

Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
It's not very often a range of sex lubricants pleasantly surprises me as much as the System JO Gelato Flavoured Lubes have. If you're thinking they're simply another collection of flavoured lubes, I'd politely suggest that you're wrong.

Pjur Power Premium Cream Lube Review

Price:
£17.00
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Silicone, Water
Using this Cream Lubricant both for vaginal and anal use was very comfortable. It left no tacky stickiness, was easy to wash off and left with a very soothing effect. The lube contains carbomer which is regularly used for dry eye gels and so gives a softening effect.

Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Silicone, Water
I’m particularly impressed with how Pjur Power Premium Cream Lubricant left my and my partner’s skin afterwards. Our skin felt smooth and moisturised, there was no sticky residue or feeling that a lube had been used that needed to be washed off. Sticky residue is often the most off putting thing in a lube. Pjur Power Premium Cream Lubricant probably has the best after feeling of any lube I’ve tried.

Wicked Aqua Salted Caramel Flavoured Lube Review

After we finally managed to stop the taste test we decided to find out if it was good as a lube, as well as being a sweet treat. So my husband applied the Wicked Aqua Salted Caramel Flavoured Lube to one of our dildos and started the test. It worked extremely well, it gave a lovely smooth feeling with no friction or catches.

System JO Gelato Salted Caramel Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£13.99
Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
This System JO Gelato Salted Caramel Lube is part of a nice luxury range of flavours. I call it luxury as they are not standard flavours you’d expect to get. Gelato gives the indication that they are ice cream flavours too, which feels right. It is apparently a new flavoured formula, however, I haven’t tried previous versions.

The lube is incredibly silky smooth and is great for quickies or a masturbation session because it doesn’t dry tacky or sticky to the skin and it wipes away easily with a bit of water or a baby wipe.

Wicked Hybrid Lube Review

7 out of 10
I usually opt for water based lubes as these are safe to use with all sex toy materials. Plus, normally don't stain. However they tend to be runnier and less cushioning than silicone lubes.

When I saw the Wicked Aqua Cinnamon Bun Flavoured Lube I had to volunteer to review it. I mean, it is Cinnamon Bun flavoured lube! I've not had the chance of trying any of the Wicked Aqua lubes so this brand is new to me.

Flavoured lubes can be a great way to enhance oral play. When Cara offered the chance to review some Wicked Aqua flavoured lubes I was quick to offer to try the Wicked Aqua Cherry Cordial Flavoured Lube. I love cherry flavour anything and have a terrible sweet tooth.

Wicked Aqua Pomegranate Flavoured Lube Review

Materials:

Wicked has made a very tasty lubricant with their Wicked Aqua Pomegranate Flavoured Lube. Normally I'd shy away from flavoured lubes as some taste like they added food flavouring to petrol. But this one was uncommonly sweet, and lingered on the tongue much longer than others.
