Which lube to choose.

Many singletons and couples are increasingly heading out to their local sex shop to introduce sex toys into their sex life. However, there is one common item that many forget to consider – lube. Without this your dildo, vibrator or butt plug could be sat by the side of the bed rather than being introduced to you and your partner during your steamy sessions.

So here is a beginner’s guide to lube and which one will suit your needs.

Water based lube
These are suitable for most things, although as they are water based there is a chance that the lube will dry out quickly so feel free to keep reapplying. Many manufacturers are now providing moisturising water based lubes to solve this issue such as Wet Light Liquid which is enriched with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera. Water based lubes can be used on skin, but remember they are not used as a form of contraception.
Silicone based lube
These tend to have a silkier feel than water based lubes and can get really slippery to provide maximum pleasure. Because of their silicone base a small amount goes a long way. The first time you try your new sex toy out try to get naturally lubricated either by masturbation or with the help of your partner. Then apply a good amount of silicone based lube such as Silicone Moist Personal Lube to your vibrator, dildo or butt plug and begin to enjoy your new toy.
Anal Lube
Anal lube is a gay guys must have to enjoy anal sex with a partner and Anal Eaze Insertz Applicators are a handy tool to have. The thin narrow end enables lube to be inserted into the anus without making a mess. Anal lube is also a necessity when any gay or straight couple want to use a butt plug. Anal Eaze Desensitising cream is what you will need as it relaxes the anus to allow anal sex to be pain free and totally enjoyable.


Warming Lubes
Just what you need on a cold Winters night. With these lubes the heat gradually increases the more the area is touched. Warming lubes are great for stimulating your partner allowing things to really hot up. They can also be used as a massage lotion so run your hands all over your partners body as foreplay giving them the ultimate body massage.

Flavoured Lubes
These are brilliant if you’re not a big fan of giving oral sex but have a partner who really enjoys receiving. Coming in all flavours from chocolate or vanilla to strawberry or watermelon, flavoured lubes give both parties the best experience during oral sex. Their main function is obviously to lubricate but their second function is to provide a mouth watering taste that is neither sickly nor sticky.



Overall lube is a must have to pop into your sex draw at home. Whether it be silicone based or flavoured depends on what you want to get out of it. Once you’ve tried one why not try a different type – you’ll soon come to love the slippery substance.
