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

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.

Pjur Med Sensitive Glide Water Based Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£11.49
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
When the Pjur Med Sensitive Glide Water Based Lube did dry out there was no sticky residue or mess, so cleaning up was easy. As with other lubes, when you apply water it does become slippery again. This means that if you can't get the top off the bottle in the heat of the moment a little bit of spit revives the lube.

Recently the lovely Cara Sutra sent me the Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry Lubricant to try out. A girl can never have to much lube! Well this review took me a long time to make up my mind about - and all in all I have very mixed feelings about it...

System JO Warming Massage Oil Review

10 out of 10
The System JO Warming Massage Glide is a 3 in 1, silicone based product. This means it has many uses; you can use it as a massage oil, a personal lubricant and a moisturiser. It has a warming feature which is automatically activated and doesn't need any rubbing or blowing for it to take effect.

Pjur Med Soft Glide Silicone Lube Review

I particularly enjoy the Pjur Med Soft Glide Silicone Lube as an anal lubricant. Sometimes the lube chosen can limit the amount of ass play I enjoy, but the pjur med felt fantastic the entire time...and I have to think the jojoba has a great part to play in the enjoyment.

System JO H2O Strawberry Kiss Lube Review

Price:

Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
We’ve tried a few of these System JO flavoured lubes now, and they’ve all been a hit, so when this System JO H2O Strawberry Kiss Lube came up for review we just had to give it a shot. Before I could even get my hands on it, my husband had pocketed it, telling me it was about time he got to have first go with the new stuff. I took that to mean that I was in for a lot of spoiling, so I didn’t argue!

Sliquid Swirl Strawberry Pomegranate Flavoured Lube Review

Price:

Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
I managed to volunteer for some flavoured lubricants from Cara, and one of them was this Sliquid Swirl Strawberry Pomegranate Flavoured Lube. Flavoured lubes are not my normal choice and it has been a long time since I used any prior to this Sliquid lube review. My experiences in the past were not fantastic so anticipation of revising an old foe aside let's get to it.

Pjur Med Vegan Glide Water Based Lube Review

Price:

Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
The Pjur Med Vegan Glide Water Based Lube itself is free of everything!  If you are sensitive then this appears to be the lube for you as it's only natural ingredients, lacks spermicide, and of course if you are vegan or have a vegan partner there isn't any worry you are using any animal products in the natural ingredients.

We-Vibe
Materials:

Well hello again! I recently had the chance to test the We-Vibe Water-Based Lube for Cara Sutra's Sex Blog. Always one to look forward to seeing more lube enter my house, I opened this with a smile. Lube is a bedroom luxury item for me, I just love using it. Naturally I don't need to use lube, but I enjoy using it for the feel of being doubly slippery.

This was designed to be tasted and it is so yummy! In fact, I spent the entire time writing this with the packet in my mouth sucking on the end of lube, yes it's that yummy! I’m so glad I jumped at the chance to try them as it was just the kick in the ass I needed to purchase other Sliquid lubes I’ve been interested in.

Sliquid Ride Bodyworx Silk Hybrid Lube Review

7 out of 10
I was especially eager to try Sliquid Ride Bodyworx Silk Hybrid Lube as a political response to a certain UFC fighter’s comments on whether or not people should need lube in their lives. After the shock of her foolish advice settled down a bit, I was keen to get to work, as this is the first hybrid lube I’ve ever tried.

Pjur MyGlide Stimulating Water Based Lubricant Review

Price:

Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
As soon as I started moving my fingers over my clit, I felt the warming action begin, and it blossomed to my touch. The warmth carried on as long as I did, I didn't need to reapply once during my session. This lube is watery, yet stays in place. It's lasting and not sticky. And that warmth! Gone are all tingle lubes for me, to be replaced only by this joy.

We-Vibe Water-Based Lubricant Review

7 out of 10
Price:
£9.99
Brand:
We-Vibe
Materials:
Water
The last time I reviewed a lube, I got rather excited and whipped out all the eulogies I could think of, so the We-Vibe Water-Based Lubricant has an awful lot to live up to; but then any product bearing the We-Vibe name warrants more than a cursory glance in my opinion.

System JO H2O Peach Flavoured Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£4.99
Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
The bottle of System JO Peachy Lips lube is quite cute, with the small, thin shape making it easy to store discreetly. The flip top makes one handed use easy while still providing a secure seal; we’ve left this lying on its side for a few hours and nothing dribbled out. If you want a travel lube, the no spill cap and portable size make this a good one.

System JO H2O Cherry Lube Review

Materials:
Water
I make no secret of the fact that while I love giving my husband oral, there’s a part of me that hates it. I dislike the taste of pre-cum and actual cum is gag-alicious, so flavoured lubes are a godsend. While minty types are my faves, cherry comes in a close second, so when I spied this wee bottle of System JO H2O Cherry Burst being offered for review, I jumped at the chance to try it.

Pjur Woman Nude Water Based Lubricant Review

Price:
£9.99
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
Overall I really liked this lube, the luxurious, silky feeling, the long lasting effect it had. It being a little thinner than my usual lube I thought it might be an issue but it really wasn't. I believe it comes in a 30ml bottle and a 100ml bottle. I have no doubt that either bottle would last a while and because it's highly concentrated you would get value for money. On doing a quick price check I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't more expensive!

Pjur Original Bodyglide Silicone Lubricant Review

6 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
If this lube lasted, I would buy more of it, but it has a low value for money because it runs out so quickly due to having to use a lot of it in just a few short sessions. Sadly, the Pjur Original Bodyglide Silicone Lube just wasn't for me.

If you’re following me on Twitter you may have seen me mention this lube over the past couple of weeks. When I spotted Pussy Juice Vagina Scented Lube in the ‘up for being tested’ monthly list that UberKinky sends their regular reviewers, I knew I had to give it a try. VAGINA SCENTED LUBE. Yeah.

Sliquid Sea Lube feels amazing during use. It feels natural, cool upon application then quickly warms to become indistinguishable from my own natural fluids. If I didn't know it was water based I'd say it was hybrid or silicone - it feels incredibly silky.
Sliquid Silver Silicone Lube Review

Sliquid Silver Silicone Lube Review

10 out of 10
I have tried Sliquid Silver Silicone Lube on a number of occasions now, for use with sex toys and during sex with my partner. I've even just applied it to my labia and clitoris as a test and left it, and there's no residual itch. I don't have that sensation of finding it impossible to leave coating my body, an undeniable urge to leap up, go to the bathroom and wash every trace of it off with hot soapy water. Yes it leaves my vulva region slippery but I can only tell when I feel it.

Sliquid O Gel Review | Sliquid Organics Stimulating O Gel

7 out of 10
Price:
£2.45
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
The Sliquid O Gel ingredients cross over similarly to the Sliquid Organics Sensations Stimulating Lubricant, with the addition of peppermint oil and leaving a few of the botanical extracts out. I am guessing that the arousing effect of this gel will come down to how sensitive your particular body is to such ingredients. Being a lubricant and sex product veteran it may be that I am not as sensitive to these things as I was once upon a time.
