About Oil-Based Lubes

Oil-based lubricants are prized for their luxurious, silky texture and exceptional staying power. Unlike water-based formulas, they don't absorb or evaporate, making them ideal for extended solo sessions, massage, or any play where you want minimal reapplication. Our collection spans twelve options from Wicked Sensual Care, Boy Butter, and B. Cummings, with prices ranging from $8 to $49. You'll find everything from travel-friendly one-ounce quickies to generous 16-ounce tubs.

Size matters when it comes to value and convenience. If you're trying oil-based lube for the first time, consider a smaller format like the Elbow Grease Original Cream Quickie - 1 Oz. or the Boy Butter Original 2 Oz Pump to test texture and compatibility. For regular users, larger jars such as the Boy Butter Gold 16 Oz or the Elbow Grease Original Cream - 15 Oz. offer better cost-per-ounce and fewer interruptions. Some formulas, like the Elbow Grease Hot Cream - 15 Oz., add warming sensations, while the Boy Butter Extreme Desensitizing Cream - 6 Fl. Oz Tube is designed for those seeking numbing effects during play.

Body safety is essential: oil-based lubes are not compatible with latex condoms or diaphragms, as oils degrade latex and compromise barrier protection. Reserve these products for solo use, non-latex barrier methods, or fluid-bonded partners. They're also trickier to clean from skin and fabric than water-based options, so keep a warm washcloth handy and avoid light-colored sheets. Check ingredient lists if you have sensitivities—many formulas are petroleum- or coconut-oil-based, and some contain desensitizing agents that won't suit everyone.

When choosing, think about your play style. Thicker creams like the Creme Masturbation Cream - 4 Fl. Oz. or the Elbow Grease Original Cream - 9 Oz. stay put and cushion firm pressure, while smoother butters glide more freely. Pump bottles, such as the Boy Butter Original 2 Oz Pump, offer one-handed convenience, and portable quickies fit discreetly in a bedside drawer or travel bag. Whatever you pick, oil-based lubes bring a richness and endurance that's hard to beat.

Frequently asked

Can I use oil-based lube with condoms?
No. Oil-based lubricants break down latex and polyisoprene condoms, increasing the risk of tears and pregnancy or STI transmission. Use only with polyurethane condoms, internal (nitrile) condoms, or during barrier-free play with tested partners.
What's the difference between oil-based and water-based lube?
Oil-based lubes don't absorb or dry out, offering longer-lasting glide with less reapplication. Water-based lubes are easier to clean, safe with all condom types, and compatible with all toy materials, but require more frequent topping up.
Are oil-based lubes safe for all sex toys?
Yes, oil-based formulas are safe for hard materials like glass, metal, wood, and ABS plastic. Avoid using them with cyberskin, jelly, or other porous elastomers, which can degrade. When in doubt, spot-test on an inconspicuous area first.
How do I clean up oil-based lube?
Warm water and mild soap work well on skin. For sheets and fabrics, pre-treat stains with dish soap or a degreasing laundry spray before washing. Oil-based lubes take longer to rinse than water-based, so plan accordingly.
What does desensitizing cream do?
Desensitizing lubricants contain mild numbing agents (often benzocaine or lidocaine) that reduce sensation temporarily. They're designed for users exploring larger toys or certain types of penetration. Start with a small amount—over-numbing can mask pain that signals injury.
Which size should I buy if I'm new to oil-based lube?
Start with a smaller size, such as a one- or two-ounce container, to test texture and compatibility with your body. Once you know you enjoy the formula, larger jars (nine ounces and up) offer better value for regular use.
