Water-based Lubes
Do you want wetter play with better glide? Try a water-based lube, which pairs perfectly with silicone sex toys, as well as all other materials. It doesn't stain or feel greasy, but it evaporates from the skin, so you may need to add more or reactivate it with a drop of water.
Water based lube - the best choice for sex and sex toys
What are the benefits of water based lube?
Water based lube is your go-to solution if you want a smooth and gentle experience in the bedroom - whether you're exploring solo, enjoying intimacy with your partner or inviting your favourite sex toy to join in the fun. In short, water based lube is a must-have in any bedside drawer of intimate products. The main advantage of water based lube is that it can be used with all types of condoms and sex toys (regardless of material), making it your closest ally in enhancing your sexual experiences and making them glide with ease.
Another great advantage of this lube is that it's incredibly easy to wash off after use. This applies both when washing it off your skin and your sex toys. As the name suggests, this type of lube contains water as its primary ingredient. This means that it contains no oil or fats, which can be difficult to wash off. However, we always recommend that you include a mild soap or sex toy cleaner when cleaning your sex toys after use. This way, you can be sure that your intimate products are completely clean.
Even though water based lubes are primarily water, some versions may still contain ingredients that can cause allergies or otherwise irritate the body. We recommend that you always read the ingredient list and test the water based lube on a small area of skin before using it on more intimate areas. This recommendation applies to all types of lubes, massage oils and other intimate products.
Which brand should I choose?
If you want the best for yourself, your skin and your sex toys, we would like to recommend the Danish brand Kaerlig. The entire range of intimate care products is produced in Denmark and made from carefully selected organic ingredients. The vast majority of the products in the range are also allergy-certified. This includes Kaerlig's water based lube, which is also free from perfume, glycerine and alcohol. This is the closest you'll ever get to a natural lube, and you can feel completely confident using it - even on your most intimate areas.
In addition to Kaerlig, there are many other fantastic lubes that you can invite into your bedroom with a clear conscience. In our wide range on this page, you'll find water based lubes from our own Sinful brand, baseks, MR.MEMBR, Just Glide, Durex, Joydivision, LELO and many other popular brands. So there are plenty of opportunities to find your very own favourite.
The many options also mean that you can choose between several different sizes. With most brands, you can choose whether you want 50 ml, 1000 ml or something in between. Water based lubes are more challenging to use than, for example, silicone-based lubes, but the price is often lower. Water based lubes dry out faster during prolonged activity, but you can quickly revive the lubrication by adding a few drops of water or saliva.
Silicone or water based lube?
We've already covered the many wondrous benefits of water based lubes, but are you still trying to decide whether you should choose a silicone lube instead? Let's take a quick look at the differences between the two options so you can make the right choice. The silicone variant is softer and has a higher lubricity, so it takes longer to dry out. This not only extends the lifespan, but it also makes the feel extra comfortable.
You might think that you should always choose silicone over water based lubes, but that's not necessarily the case. Silicone lube has a disadvantage: you can't use it with silicone sex toys because it damages the material of the product. It is best used with sex, body and intimate massage. However, you won't have that problem with water based lube, which you can use for sex and all types of sex toys - regardless of the material. So, if you want to invite your favourite sex toy to join in the fun, water based is the safest choice to go with.
But what type of water based lube should you choose? Should it be a flavoured lube? An anal lube that's thicker in consistency, so it's perfect for all types of anal stimulation - both with and without sex toys? Or how about an organic lube or a warming lube? There are so many fantastic options when it comes to finding your new favourite water based lube - and of course, you'll find the full range right here on the site.
