It's also non-staining and water-based to boot, so you can use it with a variety of sex toys and condoms. Users say that it’s easy to clean up and lasts a long time, whether it’s used for anal sex, vaginal sex, or as an edible massage oil. It also comes in other flavors like strawberry, cotton candy, birthday cake, and mint chocolate chip. From her first appearance alongside boyfriend Prince Harry in 2017 to the present day, these are Meghan Markle's fashion favorites. Pros: water-based, so compatible with all toys and condoms; fragrance-free; intensifies pleasure; expert-approved

Relaxation makes all the difference when it comes to anal stimulation," says Emojibator's Director of Marketing, Vanessa Smith. For that reason, she stands behind this fragrance-free, water-based lube, and reviewers tend to agree with her. Several customers point out that this lube is far from greasy and is a breeze to clean. Plus, the formula is made so as not to stain sheets or clothing, and is contained within a twist-style bottle that makes for easy, accurate application. One customer also noted that it intensified her and her partner’s orgasms. Using lube for the first time can be overwhelming, especially since our middle and high school health classes rarely give us an education in this oft-neglected subject in sexuality. But don't worry: We understand, and we've got you covered.Frye-Nekrasova specifically recommends this natural lube, whose active ingredients include hibiscus, vitamin E, plant cellulose, and green tea, all of which moisturize the skin while facilitating long lasting fun. Because the formula is water and aloe vera based and doesn’t contain oil or silicones, it’s also compatible with all toys and condoms. It’s also vegan and cruelty-free. Several reviewers, many of whom write that they have sensitive skin, say that this is their go-to product for pain-free vaginal and anal sex. So in the spirit of full disclosure, I'm going to give you the dish on the behind-the-scenes action, which is way sillier than it is sordid. Because hey, how many secrets can you reasonably expect to keep when you're naked on the Internet? Just because water-based lube works well in a variety of situations, doesn't mean that it's the end-all-be-all! Silicone- and oil-based lubes also have their advantages, depending on the situation, and Frye-Nekrasova concurs. "You generally want to use long-lasting lube for anal play, so silicone lubes work well in this instance."

Pros: water soluble; easy to clean; popular taste; odorless; free of sugar and parabens; compatible with all condoms and toysPros: cruelty-free, vegan lube; works on sensitive skin; expert-approved; made with natural ingredients; safe for use with all condoms and sex toys I've been shooting porn for over four years. While I mostly shoot ethical feminist content, the vast majority of porn leaves people wondering, Am I supposed to look like that? How does she even get into that position?! But viewers can rest more easily knowing that the process behind the product is far more awkward than they've been led to believe. Porn stars: We trip over our own feet just like the rest of you! Worried about sensitive skin? Frye-Nekrasova has an answer for that, too."If you start to break out somewhere that you applied lube—this can be hives, little bumps, rashes, anything abnormal for your skin—you should probably discontinue use of that lube," she explains. "If there is a burning or redness from lube, then you want to stop using that specific lube as well. It's difficult to know which specific ingredient might be causing the reaction so be sure to pay attention to ingredients listed on the bottle and see if there are any repeats between the lubes."
