Real Talk: Not All Lubes Are Equal - A Guide to Getting It Right

Let’s get one thing straight: lube is not just a “nice-to-have” — it’s a game-changer. Whether you’re flying solo, playing with a partner, or diving deep into a toy session, a good lubricant can take things from “mmm” to “OH yes” in seconds. But here’s the truth: not all lubes are created equal.

So, let’s talk about it. No shame, no stigma — just real talk about what goes between your thighs.

Why Lube Is Your BFF

First off, lube = comfort + pleasure. It reduces friction, helps prevent microtears, and can enhance sensitivity. It’s especially helpful during hormonal changes (hello, menopause, breastfeeding, or the pill), when natural lubrication might need a little backup. Plus, if you’re using toys or enjoying anal play, lube isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Bonus? The right lube can actually make orgasms feel more intense. You're welcome.

What to Look For in a Lube

When shopping for your slippery soulmate, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Water-based: Safe with all toys and condoms. Easy to clean, gentle on the skin.

Silicone-based: Super long-lasting and silky, but can damage some silicone toys.

Oil-based: Natural and rich, but not condom-safe — and can clog things up down there.

Also, avoid lubes with glycerin, parabens, or added fragrances if you’re prone to infections or have sensitive skin. Your vulva deserves the best, not a chemistry experiment.
