Over the years, we have evaluated a wide variety of lubricants, many of which perform admirably, if not quite reaching the pinnacle in their specific categories. For such commendable options, we present our Honorable Mentions.
#LubeLife Water-Based Lube for $10: I’ve been an admirer of #LubeLife for some time now. This dependable brand offers water-based lubes that are sufficiently thick for all types of sexual activities. Recently, they introduced a new addition to their lineup. This product is both light and revitalizing, maintaining a smooth texture that outlasts many other brands. Like all their lubricants, it represents excellent value for money. If you’re on a budget but still desire a lube that feels luxurious, this is the ideal choice.
Dame Arousal Serum for $23: Warming or tingling lubes aren’t typically my favorite, and I’ve yet to find one that truly convinces me. However, Dame’s Arousal Serum is close to winning me over. This warming, tingling, water-based lubricant incorporates peppermint oil, cinnamon leaf oil, and ginger oil to enhance sensations during intimacy. If you have sensitive skin, it may be best to steer clear, but for others interested in a stimulating lube, this is worth a try. It’s advisable to test it on a non-genital area first to gauge your skin’s reaction.
Ycosmetics Lip Lube Love for $29: This lube stands out with its unique properties. It offers smooth, slick lubrication with a pleasantly medium viscosity, while also providing hydration for your most intimate areas. Impressively, it doubles as a lip moisturizer—perfect for the lips on your face. Just remember to use a tiny amount; too much can result in excessive slipperiness that shifts from sexy to more akin to the aftermath of eating a messy meal.
Coconu Water-Based Lube for $27: This exceptional water-based lubricant offers lasting slickness without stickiness. Made from coconut water, it also features a subtle, pleasant scent.
Maude Shine Water-Based Lube for $25: This used to be our top recommendation. With its silky texture, it is thicker than your average water-based lube, which helps it last longer between applications. When tested, it creates a slick yet smooth surface between your fingers, indicating that it will maintain its effectiveness during use.
