Lubricant

Shop Personal Lubricant and Lube

Lube makes sex more comfortable, and the right one depends on what you are using it with. This range covers water-based lubricants, a flavoured option and intimate gels, so you can pick a personal lubricant that suits how you plan to use it. The best lube for you comes down to a few simple things, and most people reach for it for comfort, pleasure or both. Adore Beauty is an official stockist of the brands in this range.

How to Choose the Best Lubricant

Start with the base, because it decides what the lube works with. Water-based lubricants are the usual starting point. They feel light, wash off easily and are generally made to be used with latex condoms and most toys, though you should always check the label. The Lovehoney Enjoy Water-Based Lubricant comes in a 100ml bottle, while the LBDO Flow Water-Based Personal Lubricant is a 225ml size that suits regular use. Silicone-based lubricants tend to last longer, but they are not usually recommended with silicone toys. Oil-based products can damage latex condoms, so check before you combine them. If you are unsure, ask a pharmacist.

Lube for Sensitive Skin

Intimate skin can react to fragrance, flavouring and warming or cooling agents. If you tend to get irritated, a plain, unscented formula is usually the safer place to start. Read the ingredient list, patch test on your inner arm first and stop using anything that stings or itches. Flavoured options such as the Lovehoney Strawberry Flavoured Lubricant add taste, so patch test those too. If you would like a gel to compare, try the Vush Feelin' Myself Intimate Gel. If irritation continues, speak with a doctor or pharmacist.

Using Lube With Toys

A little lube can make a toy far more comfortable to use. Material matters here, so check the toy maker's guidance before you pair them, and clean toys after every use. Browse sex devices and toys or the wider sexual care range to find what suits you. Start with a small amount and add more as you go. You can always add, but it is harder to take away.
