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.

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.

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.

£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.

10 out of 10
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
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.
Pjur Woman Nude Water Based Lube Review

Price:
£12.99
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:

This lubricant isn't as tingling in its effects as the Ultimate Lube from the Ultimate Range, it's more of a gentle cooling. So if you find your usual cooling lubricants a bit overpowering for you, try out Pjur Cool as you're in for a treat.
Pjur Woman Toy Lube Review

Pjur Woman Toy Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£9.99
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
Pjur Woman Toy Lube is thicker than the standard water-based Pjur sex lubricants, and in fact lots of the standard sex lubricants I've tried previously, whether water based or silicone. I've found plenty of water based lubricants which are clear in consistency and much runnier that this.
Pjur Original Bodyglide Silicone Lube Review

Pjur Original Bodyglide Silicone Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£4.59
I received the Pjur Original Bodyglide Silicone Lube as one of the mountain of Pjur lubricants and bedroom essentials sent to me recently free of charge, in exchange for my fair and honest reviews. Pjur is a genuinely well-made brand of sex lubricants. Not only do I personally like the collection, Pjur has won industry acclaim from their peers with a variety of awards.

Lovehoney Chocolate Orange Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£5.99
Brand:
Lovehoney
Materials:
Water
As well as the stream of 'it's not your lube, it's mine' jokes that this lube conjures by its very existence, it's also happily priced to be budget friendly at £5.99 for a 100ml bottle. The Lovehoney Chocolate Orange Lube is clearly labelled, with the Lovehoney logo on display, a description of the contents as well as a brief product overview and the ingredients list.

Lovehoney Strawberry Flavoured Lubricant Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£5.99
Brand:
Lovehoney
Materials:
Water
I find the taste surprisingly pleasant as well as refreshing, in a summertime way. This lube definitely livens up oral sex. It works well with sex toys, too, unlike some other sticky-style flavoured lubes - or to have within arm's reach for vaginal or anal sex. I would say the main purpose is oral sex though, as it's flavoured. Stands to reason.

Sliquid H2O Water-Based Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
It made for a nice wet, slippery playtime! I could see why so many people like Sliquid; I really liked it too. It is a nice, thick, quality lube. I also thought it felt natural, like my own lubrication, just a bit slicker. It really is the most natural lube I think I have used.
