Water-based lube
Water-based lube is safe with every toy and condom and easy to wash off. Choose from Swiss Navy, Pjur, Sliquid, Gun Oil and more.
Why choose water-based lube?
Water-based lube is the all-rounder. It is safe with every toy material, including silicone, and with latex condoms, and it washes off with water. If you are not sure which lube to buy, start here. The range includes everyday formulas from Swiss Navy and Pjur, Sliquid's Naturals H2O, Gun Oil H2O, flavoured lubes for oral play and gentle warming formulas.
Water-based lube can dry out faster than silicone lube, so keep the bottle within reach and reapply as you go, or add a little water to revive it. Thicker gels last longer and are better for anal play. If you have sensitive skin, patch test anything new on your inner arm first.
Read our guide to the best lube for silicone toys to see why water-based is the right choice with silicone. Water-based lube is part of our lube and care range. For a longer-lasting glide, see silicone lube, and for thicker formulas made for anal play, browse anal lube.
