A palm. No bottle heat required. On the how-to so warming search that wanted a motor can leave the tingle.

Sliquid warming. Named botanicals. The how-to if you already buy H2O and wanted a heat sibling.

Cons

  • Heat is a gimmick until it burns. Stop if it stings
  • Skip it for a first lube

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Use more than you think, reapply without apology, and match the lube to your toy. Alone, a little extra turns a quick session into a long, slippery one.

Our favorite to learn on is Sliquid H2O. Clean, slippery and no sticky finish. It's the bottle you stop thinking about, which is the point.

Before you buy

Buying guide

The one on our nightstand

Sliquid H2O. It's thin, silky and totally unscented, and it plays nicely with every silicone toy in your drawer. Solo, lube makes every toy feel twice as good. Don't be stingy.

Quit

Best water-based lube. Best lube for sensitive skin.
