What is lube?

Think of it as the unsung hero of great sex. 

Lube (short for lubricant) is a slippery gel that makes sex and self-play feel smoother, comfier, and way more fun. Whether you’re going solo, with a partner, using toys, trying anal, or dealing with dryness—lube can seriously level things up. 

In fact most women say sex feels better wetter, orgasms come easier, and partners love it too. In fact, women in their 40s are the biggest lube fans of all.

There are three main types:

• Water-based: toy-friendly, latex condom-compatible, easy to clean, and great for most people.
• Silicone-based: super slick, long-lasting, and great for anal (her, him or them)—but avoid using with silicone toys.
• Oil-based: fine for solo fun, not safe with latex condoms (think: condom breakage).

Pro tip: Lubes are designed to be used on your intimate parts, unlike most household products like olive oil, baby oil, Vaseline or body lotions.  Your bits deserve the best so make sure they get it.

Bottom line? Lube makes sex feel better, more enjoyable for everyone and safer when used with condoms. Don’t be shy! Get curious, explore and find the lubes that work just right for you!
