Buy lubricant: choose for your intended use
No lubricant automatically suits every activity, toy or condom. Compare intended use, base, texture, pack size and manufacturer details. The information for the individual product always takes precedence.
Buying guide: what to compare
Activity and preferences
First decide whether you want lubricant for sex, use with a toy or a specific activity. Texture, scent and dispensing method can also influence your choice.
Base and material compatibility
Products may be water-, silicone-, oil-based or hybrid. The manufacturer states which toys and condom materials may be used with them. Also check the care instructions for your toy.
Size and handling
Small tubes are useful for trying a product or travelling, while larger packs suit more frequent use. Tubes, bottles and pumps also offer different dispensing options.
Find specialist lubricants
For anal use, explore products specifically labelled as anal lubricant. If you want an added flavour, see flavoured lubricants. Products intended for that particular activity are listed under fisting lubricant.
Within each category, compare the base, ingredients and stated use. A category name does not replace the details for an individual product.
Condoms and toy care
When using condoms, check the stated compatibility with the specific condom material. Under toy cleaners, you can compare cleaning products for different toy materials. Follow the information supplied by every product manufacturer.
