How to Choose the Right Lube for Your Toy and Your Body

on October 30, 2025

Lubricants are one of the most overlooked yet essential parts of sexual wellness—but they can make all the difference between a good experience and a truly amazing one. The right lube doesn’t just make things feel smoother; it enhances sensation, reduces friction, and helps protect both your skin and your favorite Sex Toys from unnecessary wear and tear. From solo play to shared intimacy, using the right lubricant can elevate pleasure, improve comfort, and make every touch more enjoyable. Whether you prefer a silky water-based formula, a long-lasting silicone blend, or a natural body-safe option, understanding which type of lubricant works best for your body and your toys is key to experiencing a more satisfying and safe intimate routine.


Understanding the Types of Lubes

Not all lubricants are created equal. Each type has its own benefits, feel, and best uses depending on your preferences and toys.

Water-Based Lubes: The most versatile and toy-safe option. Water-based lubes are easy to clean, compatible with all materials, and perfect for people with sensitive skin. They might need reapplication during longer sessions, but they’re ideal for beginners and couples alike.





Silicone-Based Lubes: Long-lasting and luxurious, silicone lubes are best for extended play and underwater fun. However, they should not be used with silicone toys, as they can degrade the material over time. They’re perfect for metal, glass, or hard plastic toys.





Hybrid Lubes: Combining the best of both worlds, hybrid lubes offer the slickness of silicone and the easy cleanup of water-based formulas. They’re body-safe, long-lasting, and work beautifully for both solo and partnered experiences.





If you’re unsure where to start, explore our Lubes collection to find a formula that matches your needs—whether that’s extra moisture, a warming effect, or organic ingredients.


Matching Lube to Your Toy Material

Choosing the right lube also depends on the type of toy you’re using, as each material reacts differently to specific lubricant formulas. Using the wrong kind—such as pairing a silicone-based lube with a silicone toy—can cause surface damage, stickiness, or even degrade the material over time. The right match not only preserves your toy’s quality and texture but also ensures smoother play, better hygiene, and a longer-lasting pleasure experience.

  • Silicone Toys: Stick with water-based or hybrid lubes.

  • Glass or Metal Toys: Compatible with all lube types.

  • Jelly or Rubber Toys: Choose a water-based lube for easy cleanup and safety.

If you’re unsure, always check your toy’s care guide — or refer back to our Silicone, Glass, or Metal? How to Choose the Right Material for Your Toy blog for a quick compatibility refresher.


Lubes for Different Experiences

The right lube enhances more than just comfort—it transforms the entire experience by heightening sensation, intensifying pleasure, and allowing you to explore your body or your partner’s with ease and confidence. A good lubricant not only reduces friction but also adds an extra layer of enjoyment, making every touch, stroke, and movement feel smoother, more connected, and deeply satisfying.

  • Solo Play: A few drops can turn simple self-exploration into a luxurious ritual.

  • Couple’s Play: Lubricants make shared experiences smoother, more connected, and more enjoyable. Pair your favorite lube with our Couples’ Toys to create new sensations together.

  • Anal Play: Always use thicker, long-lasting lubes designed for extra glide and comfort.


Final Thoughts

Lubricants are one of the most overlooked yet essential parts of sexual wellness—but they can make all the difference between a good experience and a truly amazing one. The right lube doesn’t just make things feel smoother; it enhances sensation, reduces friction, and helps protect both your skin and your favorite sex toys from unnecessary wear and tear.

From solo play to shared intimacy, using the right lubricant can elevate pleasure, improve comfort, and make every touch more enjoyable. Whether you prefer a silky water-based formula, a long-lasting silicone blend, or a natural body-safe option, understanding which type of lubricant works best for your body and your toys is key to experiencing a more satisfying and safe intimate routine.
