Lubricants
How to choose
The things that actually matter when you're choosing — plain language, no spec-sheet jargon.
Start with water-based unless you have a reason not to. It is the one type that works with everything we sell: silicone toys, latex condoms (confirm on the specific label), and all skin types. If this is your first bottle, or you are replacing one and cannot remember what you had, water-based is the safe answer.
Silicone lasts longer — but never on a silicone toy. Silicone lube stays slick far longer, does not absorb, and works in water, which makes it the pick for longer sessions and shower play. It also chemically bonds with silicone toy surfaces and permanently damages them, and most of what we stock is silicone. Use it with glass, metal, ABS, or skin.
Anal play needs a thicker formula, not a numbing one. Anal-safe lubes are deliberately heavier so they cushion and stay put. We do not stock numbing products for this: pain is information, and switching it off removes the signal you most need.
Arousal gels are a different product, not a lubricant. Warming, cooling, and tingling gels are applied externally to heighten sensation, and they wash off easily. They are not designed to reduce friction — if you want both, use a lube alongside. Start with less than you think you need.
What to look for on the label. Glycerin-free if you prefer to avoid it; pH-balanced for everyday comfort; hyaluronic acid for a longer-lasting, silkier glide. Every product page here lists compatibility so you are not guessing in the aisle.
