Why Choose Water-Based Lube?

Unlike silicone lubes or oil-based lubricants, water-based lubes are versatile, body-safe, and easy to clean. They work well with sex toys, condoms, and all kinds of erotic play, making them a must-have for any bedside drawer.

Benefits of Water-Based Lubricants

  • Safe for All Sex Toys & Condoms – No risk of material damage.
  • Easy to Clean – Washes off effortlessly with soap and water.
  • Light & Natural Feel – Mimics the body’s natural moisture.
  • Great for Anal Play – Essential for reducing friction during anal sex.

What to Look for in a Water-Based Lube

Not all water-based lubes are created equal. Some provide long-lasting glide, while others may dry out quickly or become sticky. That’s why reading water-based lube reviews is so important—you’ll know exactly what to expect before you buy.

Key Features to Consider:

  • Longevity: Does it stay slick or dry too fast?
  • Texture & Feel: Light and silky or thick and cushiony?
  • Ingredients: Ideal for sensitive skin or loaded with unnecessary additives?
  • Application & Dispensing: Pump, squeeze tube, or mess-free bottle?

Discover the Best Water-Based Lubes for Every Occasion

From simple, everyday lubricants to luxurious, long-lasting formulas, my water-based lube reviews cover a wide range of options. Whether you need something for penetrative sex, anal play, or sex toy use, you’ll find honest insights to help you choose the best fit for your pleasure.

Explore all the reviews, find your perfect match, and experience the ultimate glide.

I didn't actually know prior to this review that ONE made anything other than condoms, so I was curious to see if the ONE lubricants were worth raving about or not. I haven't been impressed with other condom brands that have branched out into lube in the past, but I hoped this would be a different story.

It wasn’t until I peeled away the hygiene seal and dispensed a little Delight Lube that I realised my preconceptions about this lube had been completely wrong. It isn’t thin and clear, as I was expecting; the Delight Lube is semi-opaque (white) and genuinely silky. A delightfully slippery, silky and thick cushioning lube. I had to take a little video  to show you what I mean...

A little back story this System JO H2O Lube Cotton Candy Flavoured Lube is what kind of attracted me to it in the first place -as I thought it was such a lovely idea. Its history is described as nostalgic to the 1904 when candy floss was first invented at a fair and gives you a very romantic idea especially the year and era it is based on which really gave the product it self a bit of story almost.

We tested the Pjur Aqua Water Based Lubricant for the Cara Sutra sex blog. We always use water based lube, due to it being so versatile, and not being a risk to our precious silicone toys. This lubricant is significantly more pricey than our usual lubricant, so we had high hopes for it.
