Lubricants & Essentials
Why Lube Matters
Lubricant can reduce friction and make intimate activity more comfortable. Choose a formula for the intended use and check the exact lubricant label, toy manual and condom instructions before combining products.
Types of Lubricants
- Water based: Often versatile and easy to clean, but formulas and manufacturer permissions still differ.
- Silicone based: Usually longer lasting, although some toy manuals restrict silicone lubricant.
- Hybrid: Contains both water and silicone ingredients, so check it against the same restrictions as other silicone-containing formulas.
- Flavoured, warming or cooling: Designed for particular uses and sensations. Check the label and ingredients before use.
Other Bedroom Essentials
- Toy cleaners: Choose a cleaner that matches the device instructions and permitted cleaning method.
- Condoms: Compare material, size and lubricant compatibility on the individual product instructions.
- Massage oils: Intended for massage unless the label explicitly allows another use.
- Toy storage: Keep clean, dry products separated and protected according to their care instructions.
