Tips on what lubricant to use


A Splash of Liquid Love.

Whether you’re playing with toys, pleasuring yourself, or getting down and dirty with your partner, a sexual lubricant (a.k.a. lube) can enhance your experience. Even if you lubricate naturally, extra lube’s a good idea -- better slippery and safe than sorry and sore! And, since the number one reason for condom breakage is lack of lubrication, a little lube helps to avoid those spoil-the-mood surprises.

  • Safe for use with condoms or toys, water-based lubricants such as ID Glide, O’My or Liquid Silk are the most common and versatile. Their greatest advantage? Quick and easy clean up – just rinse with warm water or wipe with a damp washcloth.
  • Silicone-based lubricants like ID Millennium are waterproof, making them ideal for “water sports”. They’re fine for use with condoms and non-silicone toys, and there’s no need to reapply during long lovemaking sessions. They’re super-slippery, though, so watch your step in the tub or shower. And cleaning up’s as easy as a quick, soapy wash.
  • Oil-based lubes like Stroke it and Super Stroke It are thicker and longer-lasting, making them ideal for intercourse and anal play. They’re great for hand-jobs, too, but shouldn’t be used with latex condoms or toys.
  • Prefer a glycerine-free lubricant that’s toy and condom compatible? Check out Slippery Stuff or Hathor Aphrodisia (made with horny goat weed for extra enjoyment).
  • Fun, flavoured water-based lubes are safe for condoms and toys and add a little extra sweetness to lovemaking.
  • Want to heat things up even more? Warming lubricants, like ID Sensation Warming Lubricant, create a warm and sensual effect when applied. They’re safe to ingest, so add a splash to your favourite flavoured lube.

Okay, so they’re not technically lubes, but here are some other pleasurable potions…

  • Increase her blood flow and sensitivity with all-natural “O” Clitoral Pleasure Gel. A little goes a long way!
  • Yummy-tasting and versatile, Kama Sutra Pleasure Balm has many uses. A small amount helps preserve his powers long into the night, and a teeny-tiny dab on nipples or clit will add a tantalizing tingle. It’s available in several fruity flavours, though the original Mint flavour provides the most powerful kick.
  • Perk things up with cool, stimulating Ice Queen Nipple Gel or tasty, travel-sized Nipple Nibblers, available in four delectable flavours. For spine-tingling kisses, apply Nipple Nibblers to your lips before planting a big, fat smooch on your sweetie.
