FAQs
I heard some lubes are not compatible with toys and condoms? How do I know what to choose?
Silicone lubes interact negatively with silicone toys so you need to use a water-based lube such as Sutil Luxe or any of our other water-based lube options.
Condoms can be safely used with water based or with silicone-based lubes like Swiss Navy Silicone Lube, but are not compatible with oil-based lubes which can break down the latex.
Water, silicone, and oil-based options, like Boy Butter and Coconu, are all safe to use with metal and glass toys or skin-to-skin contact.
What lube do you recommend for anal sex?
There are two categories of lube that are best for anal sex: silicone and water-based lubes. Which one is the best for you is based on what you're going to be doing!
Silicone lubes are best for condoms and skin-to-skin contact. Silicone lubes are fantastic for anal sex because they are slick, slippery, and very long-lasting because they do not absorb into the skin. A staff favorite silicone lube is Gun Oil Silicone Lube – it's ultra-concentrated, incredibly slick, and water-resistant!
Water-based lubes are best for silicone toys. We're big fans of Fuck water, a water-based lube that contains an ingredient used in silicone lubes to make it silkier, smoother, and longer-lasting than other water-based lubes while still being safe to use with silicone toys.
If you need a little extra help getting ready for anal play you can combine these lubes with a relaxing gel like Adventure Anal Gel or Body Action Anal Relaxer, both of which use natural extracts to relax the asshole without desensitizing so you can fully enjoy your anal experience.
I have allergies and am sensitive to some ingredients. Is there a lube I can use?
Yes, we love the Sliquid lubes. They are water-based and contain very few ingredients, making them a great choice for anyone with allergies or sensitivities. Both Sliquid H2O and Sliquid Sassy contain nothing but purified water, plant cellulose, and food-grade preservatives. The Sassy has a slightly thicker texture, making it fantastic for anal.
Another option is Überlube. This is a silicone-based lube so it can't be used with silicone toys, but is incredible for glass or metal toys and for skin-to-skin contact. It is medically tested and recommended by OBGYNs as a safe option that won't interfere with the body’s pH.
I experience discomfort during vaginal sex. Are there any lubes that can help?
Yes, we have a few lubes we recommend! Dame Alu is an aloe water-based lube infused with natural ingredients to reduce inflammation, moisturize, and sooth. Alu is pH-balanced and doctor approved for vaginal use. Sliquid Naturals Sea is a water-based lube that is pH-balanced and blended with unscented seaweed extracts that provide an added boost for your vaginal health by promoting the tissue and cell restoration necessary for natural hydration and elasticity.
What are the best lubes for large toys and fisting?
Many people choose a powder formula for fisting and extra large toys such as J-Lube, OB Lube, and XTRM Lube. These concentrated formulas are mixed with water to create a long-lasting lube that is also toy and condom compatible! Just one bottle can make 6 to 8 gallons of lube – we promise you will have plenty of lube no matter how deep you want to go!
Do you have any creams that can help me to maintain an erection longer?
We sure do. We recommend Rock Solid Delay Cream, which decreases penis sensitivity to help you last longer. On the other hand, if you need an increase in sensation and blood flow, we recommend Mojo Penis Stimulating Gel, which uses natural ingredients to enhance pleasure and give you harder, longer-lasting erections.
Do you have any products that enhance sensation for people with vaginas?
Yes! Arousal Serum by Dame or Intense Clitoral Arousal Serum from Intimate Earth both use natural extracts to create a warm tingling sensation and intensify orgasms.
G, How I Adore You is specially designed to be internally applied to the g-spot – use your fingers or a toy to reach it! The natural ingredients increase blood flow, helping the g-spot to become more pronounced and sensitive, making it easier to achieve g-spot orgasms.
