Water Based Lubes are good all-round lubricants that are safe with toys and condoms. Use lubrication to enhance pleasure when using sex toys and making love. Essential during anal sex (see our anal lubricant section for specialists blends) and when masturbating to minimise discomfort and friction. Also as you get older, the body produces less lubrication and that's when simple, water based lubricants come into their own as an essential sex item that you must not be without.
