Why Choose Lubes & Wellness
- Lubricant is one of the most universally useful products in this store and is relevant to almost every sex toy purchase. No sex toy creates its own lubrication. Every dildo, vibrator, anal toy, penis pump, male masturbator, and most other toys benefit from added lubrication during use. Friction causes discomfort and can irritate tissue; lubrication eliminates that friction. The correct lubricant for any toy depends on the toy's material, the type of sex involved, and personal preference for texture and longevity. Having the right lubricant is not optional for comfortable toy use.
- Adult toy cleaners protect both the toy and the user by properly removing pathogens and body fluids between uses. Silicone, glass, metal, and other non-porous toy materials can be cleaned effectively with a dedicated toy cleaner. Porous materials such as TPR and TPE require even more thorough cleaning. Using a toy cleaner formulated for this purpose removes bacteria and organic matter without degrading the toy's material or leaving residues that could irritate mucous membranes on the next use. Soap and water is less effective for this purpose than a dedicated toy cleaner.
- Kegel exercisers and pelvic floor training products address a specific wellness function that has direct effects on sexual pleasure and health. The pubococcygeus and surrounding pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, uterus, and rectum, and their tone directly affects orgasm intensity, vaginal sensation, and urinary continence. Weighted kegel balls and progressive training sets allow these muscles to be strengthened through regular, low-effort exercise. This category exists within a wellness context, not a toy context, and the products are used during daily activity rather than specifically during sex.
- Delay sprays and creams address premature ejaculation, which affects a large proportion of people with penises at some point in their lives. Lidocaine or benzocaine-based topical delay products reduce sensitivity in the penis when applied before sex, which extends the time to ejaculation without reducing sexual response for either partner when used at the correct dosage. These are functional wellness products with a clearly defined and commonly needed application.
- Condoms in this collection include latex and non-latex options, covering a health need that is separate from pleasure enhancement. Latex-free condoms such as the Mates SKYN range in polyisoprene are necessary for people with latex allergies and are also preferred by users who find standard latex reduces sensation. Condoms are the only contraceptive method that also provides significant protection against sexually transmitted infections. Including condoms in a sex toy and wellness purchase is a practical decision that supports both safety and convenience.
Types of Lubes & Wellness Products
Personal lubricants are the largest sub-category. Water-based lubricants are compatible with all toy materials including silicone, and are safe with all condom types. They are the most versatile choice for general use. They require occasional reapplication as they are absorbed into skin and evaporate over time. Silicone-based lubricants last significantly longer without reapplication and are waterproof, which makes them well suited for use in water or during longer sessions. They must not be used with silicone toys as they can degrade the toy's surface. Hybrid lubricants combine a water-based formula with a small percentage of silicone, offering longer-lasting glide than pure water-based formulas while remaining generally safe with silicone toys. Browse the full Lubes collection for all lubricant types including water-based, silicone, hybrid, anal, flavoured, warming, and tingling formulas.
Anal-specific lubricants are formulated with a thicker gel consistency than standard vaginal lubricants. The rectum does not self-lubricate and its tissue is more fragile than vaginal tissue, which makes a thick, long-lasting anal gel preferable to a thinner water-based lube for anal play. Some anal lubes also include a mild desensitising agent such as lidocaine or benzocaine, which reduces discomfort during initial penetration.
Flavoured lubricants are water-based formulas with food-grade flavouring added for use during oral sex. They are not specifically formulated for vaginal use and some contain sweeteners such as aspartame which, if used vaginally, can alter the vaginal pH and contribute to yeast infections. The Sliquid Swirl range in this collection is glycerin-free, which reduces this risk. Flavoured lubes work well for oral use on the penis, vulva, or other body parts where taste is part of the play.
Warming and tingling lubricants use ingredients such as food-grade menthol, L-arginine, or niacin to create a warming, cooling, or tingling sensation on contact with skin. These are used to heighten sensitivity in the clitoris, penis, or other erogenous zones. The Sliquid Organics Sensations formula in this collection uses food-grade menthol as the active ingredient.
Organic and botanical lubricants, including the YES WB and Sliquid Organics ranges, use plant-derived ingredients and avoid synthetic preservatives, glycerin, and parabens. These are preferred by people with sensitive skin, vaginal pH concerns, or a preference for natural formulation.
Adult toy cleaners are antibacterial spray or wash formulas designed for use on sex toy surfaces. They are formulated to be effective against bacteria and viruses without degrading silicone, ABS plastic, glass, metal, or other toy materials. The Sliquid Shine organic toy cleaner uses tea tree oil and castor oil as active cleansing agents.
Kegel exercisers and pelvic floor training balls are weighted silicone spheres inserted vaginally. The weight creates passive resistance that engages the pelvic floor muscles simply by holding the ball in place during normal activity. Progressive training sets include balls of increasing weight, allowing users to build pelvic floor strength gradually over weeks or months.
Condoms in this collection are primarily non-latex polyisoprene condoms from the Mates SKYN range, available in standard, elite (ultra-thin), and king-size fits. Clinic packs of 144 are available for professional or high-volume purchase.
Delay sprays and creams contain lidocaine or benzocaine and are applied topically to the glans of the penis before sex. They work by temporarily reducing nerve sensitivity, which extends the time to ejaculation. Dosage and application timing are important: too much product or applying too close to penetration can reduce sensation to the point where it affects the experience negatively.
Intimate moisturisers such as Sliquid Satin are formulated for daily use to manage chronic vaginal dryness, which is common during menopause, while breastfeeding, or as a side effect of certain medications. These are not lubricants for sex specifically but ongoing vaginal health products used between sexual activity.

Who Buys Lubes & Wellness
Personal lubricants are bought by almost everyone who purchases a sex toy, because virtually all toys require lubrication for comfortable use. The most common lubricant purchase alongside a first sex toy is a water-based lube, chosen because it is universally compatible and easy to clean up. More experienced users often maintain both a water-based lube for toy use and a silicone or hybrid lube for penetrative sex without toys, because silicone lubes provide superior longevity for sex but cannot be used with silicone toys.
Anal lubricants are bought by anyone engaging in anal sex or using anal toys, regardless of gender or orientation. The absence of natural lubrication in the rectum makes a dedicated anal gel non-optional for safe and comfortable anal play rather than a preference item.
Toy cleaners are bought by people who take hygiene seriously with their sex toys, which is especially relevant for people who share toys between partners or use toys on multiple body areas. Proper cleaning between uses prevents the transfer of bacteria and maintains the integrity of the toy's surface.
Kegel exercisers are bought primarily by people with vaginas who want to strengthen their pelvic floor, either for sexual health reasons such as increased orgasm intensity, or for general pelvic health reasons such as managing urinary incontinence or recovering pelvic floor tone after childbirth.
Delay products are bought by people with penises who experience premature ejaculation or who want to extend the duration of penetrative sex. These are purchased discreetly and are often bought alongside a cock ring, which addresses the same functional concern through a different mechanism.
Choosing Lubes & Wellness
The most important rule for lubricant selection is silicone lube compatibility. Silicone-based lubricants should not be used with silicone toys because the lubricant can swell, pit, or permanently damage the toy's surface. If your toy is silicone, use only water-based or hybrid lubricants. If you are unsure of your toy's material, default to water-based. This single rule prevents the most common lubricant-related toy damage.
Oil-based lubricants degrade latex and polyisoprene condoms. If you are using latex or polyisoprene condoms, use only water-based or silicone-based lubricants. The YES Coco oil-based lubricant is intended for use without condoms or with polyurethane condoms only. Oil-based products also do not clean easily from tissue and can disrupt vaginal bacterial balance if used vaginally.
Glycerin in lubricants can contribute to yeast infections in people prone to them. Glycerin is a sweet-tasting humectant used in many water-based lubricants. In people prone to yeast overgrowth, glycerin can feed Candida and trigger an infection. Many Sliquid products and the YES range are glycerin-free and are a better choice for people who have experienced this issue.
Anal desensitising products mask pain that serves a protective function. Products containing lidocaine or benzocaine reduce discomfort during anal penetration but also reduce the body's ability to signal when something is causing harm. If you choose to use an anal desensitiser, use it at the minimum effective dose and proceed slowly to avoid injury that would otherwise be signalled by pain.
Delay sprays must be fully absorbed before penetration or they will transfer to the partner. Most delay sprays require 10 to 15 minutes between application and sex, and some require washing or wiping the penis before penetration to prevent the numbing agent from transferring to the partner's vagina or mouth. Check the specific product instructions for application timing and whether washing before sex is recommended.
Looking After Your Lubes & Wellness Products
Store lubricants at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat. Heat degrades silicone lubricants and can cause water-based formulas to separate. Check the expiry date on all lubricant products before use; expired lubricants may have degraded preservative systems and can cause irritation or infection. Most lubricants have a shelf life of two to three years from manufacture when stored correctly.
Close lids tightly after each use to prevent contamination and drying out. Pump dispensers are more hygienic than bottles that require fingers to be inserted because they reduce the chance of contaminating the product with bacteria from hands or toys. When transferring lube to a toy or body, dispense onto your hand first rather than applying the bottle directly to the area being lubricated.
Toy cleaners should be used immediately after play and before storage. Spray the toy surface, allow contact time if specified, then wipe or rinse as directed. Do not leave organic matter on toys between uses as it degrades the material over time.
Goes Well With
Every toy purchase benefits from the addition of the right lubricant. When buying a silicone vibrator, dildo, or anal toy, pair it with a water-based lubricant from the Lubes collection. When buying a glass, metal, or hard plastic toy, silicone or hybrid lubricants are also an option and provide a longer-lasting glide. When buying a male masturbator or penis pump, a thick water-based lubricant provides the best internal glide for these toys.
A dedicated toy cleaner is the correct pairing for any toy purchase. Explore the Adult Toy Cleaners collection for spray and wash formulas from Sliquid, System JO, and other trusted brands designed to clean all toy materials safely without leaving harmful residues. Buying a toy cleaner at the same time as a toy ensures the toy is properly maintained from its first use.
Kegel balls pair naturally with a water-based lubricant for comfortable insertion. Condoms in this collection pair with any water-based or silicone-based lubricant but should never be used with oil-based products. Massage oils and candles from the Candles, Lotions & Massage Oils subcategory pair with a session that begins with sensual touch before toy use.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use silicone lubricant with a silicone sex toy?
No. Silicone-based lubricants should not be used with silicone sex toys. The lubricant can react with the toy's silicone surface, causing it to swell, become sticky, or develop permanent pitting that degrades the toy's texture and creates a surface that harbours bacteria. Always use a water-based or hybrid lubricant with silicone toys. If you are unsure what material your toy is made from, default to water-based lubricant, which is safe with all toy materials. The silicone-on-silicone incompatibility is one of the most common causes of sex toy damage and is entirely avoidable by checking the toy material before choosing a lubricant.
What is the difference between water-based, silicone, and hybrid lubricants?
Water-based lubricants use purified water as their primary ingredient and are compatible with all toy materials and all condom types. They absorb into skin over time and require reapplication during longer sessions. Silicone-based lubricants use silicone as their base, which does not absorb into skin or evaporate. They last significantly longer without reapplication and are completely waterproof, making them well suited for shower or bath use. They must not be used with silicone toys. Hybrid lubricants start with a water base and add a small percentage of silicone (typically 10 to 20%) to extend longevity compared with a pure water-based formula, while remaining generally safe for use with silicone toys. Most people find hybrid lubricants a practical everyday choice.
Are flavoured lubricants safe to use vaginally?
Most flavoured lubricants are formulated for oral use rather than vaginal use and many contain sweeteners such as sugar, glucose, or glycerin that can disrupt the vaginal pH and contribute to yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis when used internally in the vagina. If you want to use a flavoured lubricant vaginally as well as for oral play, look specifically for a glycerin-free formulation such as the Sliquid Swirl range, which is flavoured without glycerin and has a lower risk of disrupting vaginal health. Flavoured lubricants are safe for use on the penis, vulva externally, and for oral sex in general.
Do I need a specific lubricant for anal sex or can I use any lube?
The rectum does not produce its own lubrication and its tissue is thinner and more sensitive than vaginal tissue, so using a purpose-formulated anal lubricant makes a meaningful difference to comfort and safety compared with using a standard thin water-based lube. Anal-specific lubricants such as Sliquid Sassy or Body Action Anal Glide are formulated with a thicker gel consistency that stays in place during penetration rather than dispersing immediately. This provides more sustained lubrication throughout the session. A standard thin water-based lube can be used for anal play in an emergency but requires much more frequent reapplication to maintain sufficient lubrication.
How do delay sprays work and are they safe to use?
Delay sprays and creams contain a topical anaesthetic, typically lidocaine or benzocaine, which temporarily reduces nerve sensitivity in the glans of the penis when applied before sex. This slows the accumulation of stimulation required to trigger ejaculation, which extends the duration of penetrative sex. They are safe when used at the recommended dose; using too much of the product reduces sensitivity to the point where erection or arousal may be affected. Many delay sprays require the penis to be wiped or washed before penetration to prevent the numbing agent from transferring to the partner, which would reduce their sensation. Check the specific product instructions for application timing, recommended amount, and whether washing before penetration is advised.
