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

Pjur Back Door Relaxing Silicone Anal Lubricant Review

7 out of 10
Price:
£14.99
In our opinion (for what it is worth) we would recommend the product but, to people who enjoy more regular anal play within their repertoire than most, we are no strangers to anal play but as more of an occasional adventure than a regular occurrence and don’t see ourselves changing from our own preferred product to this at this time.

Pjur Back Door Relaxing Silicone Anal Glide Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£14.99
The Pjur Back Door Relaxing Silicone Anal Glide instructions state to put a reasonable amount on your finger and slowly rub around the anus. Mr Banana couldn’t wait to crack on with this. I found this warm up period very relaxing and also incredibly erotic. I positioned myself in doggy so I could play with my clit at the same time.

Pjur Man Steel Cream Review

4 out of 10
Price:
£14.85
Pjur Steel Cream is described as being suitable for intimate massage. I regularly treat my partner to a lingam massage so this was an ideal opportunity to put Pjur Steel Gel through its paces. I squeezed a generous amount into my hand and rubbed my palms together noticing a warmth spreading across both hands.

Pjur Man Steel Gel Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£14.85
My partner applied the gel to the length of his penis, massaging it in well and then waited for a moment or two. He told me that he was beginning to feel more sensitive than usual, as he was experiencing some mild tingling and warming sensations. I am usually the one experiencing this from female based products, so it was a strange experience for him at first, but after a couple of uses, he says that it's a feeling that he's really starting to like.

Pjur Xtend Cream Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£14.85
But in our experience, the Pjur Xtend Cream truly shines as a circulation booster. We have both noticed that he feels firmer for longer after he's used this product, especially when he's been massaging it into his penis on a regular basis. When he was describing how it felt for him, he said it was 'a creamed version of a cock ring', which I was confused by at first, but thinking about it, it does work in the same type of way.

Pjur Back Door Silicone Anal Lubricant Review

5 out of 10
Price:
£14.99
In use I really didn't enjoy the decreased sensations and perversely I think I was less relaxed than normal. When warming me up a minute or so after applying the lube, he managed to get three fingers in without me realising, it just felt like the normal one or two. During anal I definitely couldn't feel him as much inside me which is a huge negative for me as I love the stretch and "naughty" sensations of anal.

I have to say I adore this lube, I loved inserting it into Mrs Kink and getting her messy, the lube got everywhere.  Our anal lube of choice is normally ID Backslide, however the Crisco Ass Fisting Lube now sits alongside this, for its ease of use and insertion and the fact that it didn't dry out and made the experience very enjoyable for the both of us.

Sliquid Silk Hybrid Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£11.50
By Fesure Maybe: This Sliquid Silk Hybrid Lube is from Sliquid and is their silk variant. It is glycerine and paraben free. It is a water based lubricant that is blended with 12% silicone. This product is also vegan friendly which is an amazing bonus as it makes it great for everyone.

Sliquid Satin Lube Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£11.99
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
It has a great consistency, being somewhere between thick and thin, whilst avoiding being runny. This is one of the most natural feeling lubricants I’ve come across and I think it feels similar to the lubricant my body makes on its own. I take certain medications that affect how much natural lubricant I can produce and have found that Sliquid Satin Lube feels like an extension, rather than a replacement to that.

I think personally I've come to like the Sensuva ON Natural Arousal Balm For Her because when I want to masturbate, I find myself searching for the balm and when I can't find it because it's stuck down the side of my bed somewhere, I have a mini panic and get worried that I won't be able to use it again. I think this balm is like cheesecake, an acquired taste.

We always use condoms when having anal sex; again we previously used ordinary lube.  I explained that we did not need as much of this lube.  WOW! I have to say this lube from MEO made anal sex even more pleasurable, again no dragging sensation, so his cock glided in and out a lot easier.

Ok I will be the first to admit that I wasn't expecting great things from the System JO For Women Agapé Lubricant. Why? Well, my experience (and a few others too) hasn't been that great with other of their products in the past. Never the less I was willing to put that aside and give this lube a thorough testing.

System JO Wintermint Nipple Titillator Arousal Gel Review

I am reviewing the System JO Wintermint Nipple Titillator Arousal Gel. I have sensitivity issues due to medical reasons but I have tried some arousal or tingling gels that have some sensation. I am sorry to say that this product did not live up to the standards of tingling.
