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.

System JO H2O Cherry Lube Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£4.99
Brand:
System JO
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

8 out of 10
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!

Pussy Juice Vagina Scented Lube Review

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

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 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.

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)

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. 
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 Nude Water Based Lube Review

All Pjur products are free from parabens and perfume. They are condom compatible and dermatologically tested, but only the silicone products are free from glycerine and the silicone-based and this Pjur Woman Nude are also free from glycerine and preservatives.

Pjur Cool Refreshing Menthol 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.

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.

Sliquid Sassy Lube & Sliquid Sea Lube Reviews

9 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
The Sliquid Sassy Lube sample did seduce me to ordering a bottle of it, though. Thing is, despite a few disappointing factors Sliquid is still the best lube out there for me. Much as I admittedly begrudge the concept of using lube I never want to be caught without it again. Well done, Sliquid -- you have a repeat customer.
