Lube Reviews

Lube reviews are priceless when it comes to choosing the right type of sex lubricants for you. There are many different kinds, and even within the major types the formulations can differ enormously.

What are the main types of sex lube? There’s water-based lube, silicone lube, anal lube, oil-based lube and hybrid lube. Hybrid lubricants are usually a blend of silicone and water which give fantastic longevity and glide, while many of them are safe to use on a variety of sex toy materials.

Can you use silicone lube with silicone sex toys? Yes, contrary to popular belief. If your sex toy is genuine silicone, you can use silicone lubricant with it. If you’re unsure, try a dot on a small area of the toy (such as the base).

Why should you use lube? Sex lubricant is obviously fantastic to ease the glide and avoid chafing and discomfort when using your sex toys. Particularly if you’re using butt plugs and other anal sex toys, as the anal area does not produce its own natural lubricant like the vagina.

Lube has additional benefits too. It can help increase sensitivity during intimate moments and sex, as well as giving you a helping hand if you don’t produce enough natural lubrication. Lube is fantastic for self-exploration and masturbation, too. Allow your fingertips to roam freely with the help of a few dots of lubricant, and you’ll soon realise how enhanced your self-pleasure session is.

The lube reviews here on the Cara Sutra sex blog provide honest and thorough write-ups of many different types, brands and formulations of lube. I hope you enjoy browsing these reviews and finding your next fantastic lube.

10 out of 10
Along with the Fleshlight GO Torque Ice and Pink Lady Vagina masturbators my partner and I recently reviewed, Fleshlight sent their bedroom essentials for us to try too. The Fleshlight Fleshlube & Fleshlight Fleshwash were also sent free of charge for the purposes of these fair and honest reviews. Thanks Fleshlight!

Pjur Original Bodyglide Silicone Lubricant Review

6 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Silicone
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.

Pussy Juice Vagina Scented Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£14.99
Materials:
Water
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 Review

Sliquid Sea Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£9.95
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
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
Price:
£16.95
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Silicone
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

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.

Materials:

By Cara Sutra: Bondara Sexual Lubricants Range review: If you read my review the other day about the Bondara ‘Mr Realist’ Black XL Realistic Silicone Dildo, you’ll know that Bondara stock a variety of sex toys and bedroom products which they have manufactured themselves. These are generally priced to fit a low to medium budget range, with most companies avoiding the higher end prices.

TENGA Black Flip Hole Masturbator Review (& TENGA Hole Lotion Lubes)

9 out of 10
Price:
£64.00
Brand:
TENGA
Materials:
Plastic, TPE
He has really enjoyed using the TENGA Black Flip Hole Masturbator. He says he likes the fact it's an abstract entrance and internal lining, and that it feels really tight and slightly more vaginal than throaty, although what goes through his mind at the time is that it's an extraordinary and addictive combination of both.
Pjur MyGlide Stimulating And Warming Water Based Lube Review

Pjur MyGlide Stimulating And Warming Water Based Lube Review

7 out of 10
Price:
£12.90
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
Although this is water based lubricant I did find that during use it felt more like a hybrid lubricant despite being quite runny. It’s not as thick as some of the standard water based lubes out there. On the plus side it does last for absolutely ages and you don’t need a lot of it. It lubricates the skin very well for sex and masturbation, with or without sex toys.

LELO Personal Moisturiser Review | LELO Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£17.99
Brand:
LELO
Materials:
Water
You get a good squirt of LELO Lube with just one depression of the top, and the lube is clear and easily coats fingers, sexual areas or a sex toy without being too dribbly. You can pick it up with one hand and dispense the lube, so if your other hand is, um, busy - no problem. Just make sure you put it down within easy reach!

Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry Lube Review

Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry & Green Apple Lubes Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
Both of the Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry & Green Apple Lubes I have come in tilt-top dispense bottles containing 125ml of lubricant. Colour coded, it's easy to tell which is which, even if you don't see the clearly marked labels. Depress one side of the top and you can then tilt and squeeze/pour as much lube out as you wish, whether on to a toy, fingertip or directly on to sexual areas.

Pjur Anal Sex Lubricants Review (Analyse Me & Back Door Comfort Glide)

10 out of 10
Price:
£12.99
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
Welcome to my big Pjur anal sex lubricants review! I have decided to review these two Pjur lubricants together, because as far as I can tell, they are the same product with different labels. I have checked the ingredients in both the Pjur Analyse Me and the Pjur Back Door Comfort Glide, and they match exactly.

Price:
£12.95

From the ultra body safe Pjur Med range, the Pjur Med Premium Glide Silicone Lube comes packaged in a clearly labelled box, making it look more like a health product than a sexual lube. I have the 30ml bottle of Pjur silicone glide lubricant.
Pjur Espresso Caffeine Enhanced Water Based Lube Review

Pjur Espresso Caffeine Enhanced Water Based Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£12.99
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
I'm not sure whether it was a placebo effect, but I did feel much more tingly when using this lubricant for masturbation than my usual water based lube. Sure, I knew of the caffeine ingredient, but for me, I do feel that this lubricant is particularly stimulating. This is especially the case when used over the clitoris, during female masturbation.
Pjur Woman Silicone Lube Review

Pjur Woman Silicone Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Brand:
Pjur
This makes the Pjur Woman Silicone Lube entirely friendly for the pH of a woman's vagina, as well as rendering it irritation-free for her choice of sexual pleasure. It's great to use with non-porous, non-silicone sex toys, such as those made from glass, stone, ceramic or other hard materials. It's also a great go-to lube for anal sex - although of course, a specialised anal lube is always preferable there.
