Water-Based Lube 101: How to Choose and Use It

Water-based lubricant is the most popular choice for a reason: it works with almost everything. Here is what to know before you buy.

Why water-based?

  • It's compatible with condoms and most toys.
  • It rinses off easily with water.
  • It's a good everyday option for many couples.

What to look for

  • Thickness: thicker formulas last longer; thinner ones spread more easily.
  • Flavor and warming options: pick a style you enjoy.
  • Ingredients: check the label for anything you're sensitive to.

Tips for use

Apply a little more than you think you need, and reapply as it dries. If you're trying something new, start slowly and add more as you go.
