Water-based lubes are made with glycerin, and are safe for all toys and condoms. They're easy to clean up, and are available in a huge variety of textures and types. If you don't know where to start with a lube, this is the place!

See our Buying Guide on Lube Interactions if you're not sure which lube is right for you and your toys.


Astroglide Lubricant
The lube of the astronauts! Legend has it that Astroglide was originally developed by NASA to help astronauts slip into their spacesuits, but was quickly discovered to have more interesting applications. A good lube for folks who prefer their lube with a thinner texture, Astroglide is long-lasting, non-sticky, colorless and clear, with a thin, liquidy texture and a mild, not-unpleasant bitter-sweet taste. It's a very popular lube — we had a number of requests for it before we finally decided to carry it. If you like the thinner texture of silicone-based lubes but want something you can use with silicone sex toys, Astroglide is a fine choice. A water-based glycerine lube.

Ingredients: Purified water, glycerin, propylene glycol, polyquarternium, methylparaben, propylparaben.

Eros Aqua Formula Lubricant
Eros fans, get excited! We are thrilled to offer you this super slick, ultra slippery lube in a water-based formula direct from Germany. Eros Aqua Formula feels more like real sex juices than any other lube we have encountered and stays truly slippery without drying up or getting sticky; it just slowly absorbs over time. Unlike other water-based lubes, this high-end wonder is absolutely flavorless which, in our Blowfishie opinion, makes this lube perfect for combining oral activities with lube play. Please take note: Eros Aqua Formula is quite runny (almost like a liquid) and highly concentrated, requiring only a few drops to make any surface or orifice slick. While the consistency does make for a bargain in terms of price-per-use ratio, it has the downside of occasionally leaking from the bottle if you knock it over mid-activity. If you are looking for something a little different than the others, this lube is a must-try.

Ingredients: water, glycerin, ethoxydiglycol, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, hydroxyethylcellulose, citric acid, benzyl alcohol.

Icy Warm Menthol Lubricant
If you think you've tried it all, how about a tingly sensation to titillate your sensitive bits? Icy Warm Menthol Lube is a water-based lube with menthol in it, which creates a cooling sensation on the skin. Blow on it for an almost icy feel that's less potentially damaging than using an ice cube. Icy Warm can be used as a regular water-based gel lube for sex, too (it's even safe to use with condoms!), and since the sensations increase with your body heat, the friction is sure to make things nice and tingly indeed! We have heard that it turns to a warming sensation after a while, but our testers did not notice it doing so (but we wanted to give you a heads up in case it did warm up on you). A fun, useful lube that gives you the good kind of shivers.

Ingredients:Water-purified, glycerine, propylene glycol, hydroxy ethyl cellulose, polyquaterniums 7,10,15 & 32, menthol, total hydroxybenzoates (preservatives), phenoxy-ethanol, tri-ethanol amine, citric acid, EDTA.

[RECOMMENDED!]

Liquid Silk Water-Based Lubricant
Liquid Silk is the best lube we have ever encountered. More like a lotion than a traditional sex lube, Liquid Silk contains no glycerin, no scents, and no nonoxynol-9. Many people are sensitive to nonoxynol-9, and we've had a certain amount of personal experience that glycerin-based lubes can promote yeast infections. Liquid Silk also has one truly delightful property: as it dries out, it doesn't get sticky! It just gets less and less slippery. Also great for masturbation... and it contains skin conditioners and vitamin E. Water-based, latex-safe.

We've had customers say that it saved their sex life. We can't promise you the same (we don't even know that your sex life needs saving), but give it a try!

Note: While this lube contains a very small amount of dimethicone, a silicone polymer, there is not nearly enough to cause reactions with silicone toys.

Ingredients: Water, propylene glycol, dimethicone, cellulose polymer, Ppolysorbate 60, sorbitan stearate, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate NSE, BNPD, disodium EDTA, phenoxyethanol, methyl paraben, butyl paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl paraben, BHT.

[RECOMMENDED!]

Maximus Water-Based Gel Lubricant
For fisting and anal play, the thicker the lube, the better (well, motor oil is probably taking it a bit far...). Maximus is the answer! It's much thicker than most other water-based lubes, with a somewhat gelatinous texture, and is perfect for those heavy applications (works great for masturbation, too). It stays slippery for a very long time — much longer than most other lubes. The smell and taste are very light and non-intrusive, and it's good for people with sensitive tissues — while not being actually hypo-allergenic, it's less likely to cause a reaction than many other lubes. And it's water-based and completely latex-safe. We love it here at the Blowfish Testing Labs, and we think you will, too.

Ingredients: Water, propylene glycol, cellulose polymer, disodium EDTA, phenoxyethanol, methyl paraben, butyl paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl paraben.

Probe Lubricant
Probe has a large and loyal following for use as a lube for anal sex and vaginal fisting. There's also a Silky Light variety, much lighter than the heavy Classic formula.

We prefer the Classic for anal sex to many other latex-safe lubes. If you like a glycerine-and-water-based lube, Probe is an excellent choice, and it is, of course, latex-safe.

Ingredients: Purified water, vegetable glycerine, polyethelene oxide, grapefruit seed extract.

Available in the following:

  • classic (-CLA)
  • silky light (-SLK)

Slippery Stuff Gel Lubricant
The cult of Slippery Stuff continues to expand with the addition of the Gel variation. Just like its red-bottled sibling it's tasteless, odorless, non-staining, and not the least bit sticky or greasy. It's glycerin-free, if you are sensitive to glycerin for any reason, and 100% latex safe. The Gel has the same wonderful characteristics of Slippery Stuff Liquid, but in a convenient (and not runny) gel.

Ingredients: Deionized water, propylene glycol, isopropanol, sodium carboxylpolymethylene, methylparaben.

Slippery Stuff Liquid Lubricant
Slippery Stuff was one of the first sex lubes ever, and it has a rabid following. (Really. You would think it was a cult, or something.) It's very fluid, and is as neutral as you can hope for: tasteless, odorless, non-staining, not the least bit sticky or greasy. It's glycerin-free, if you are sensitive to glycerin for any reason, and 100% latex safe.

And now, it's available in a 16 oz. pump-top size! (Not shown.)

Ingredients: Deionized water, propylene glycol, isopropanol, polyethylene oxide, methylparaben.

Sliquid H2O Water-Based Lubricant
Sliquid H2O is "formulated to last longer than most Hollywood marriages" and while that doesn't necessarily mean much these days, we can vouch that this water-based, water soluble lube stays wet for a very long time, espeically if you re-wet it with a lingering kiss or little tounge lap every now and again.

While lubes are certainy not made equal in this world, there are a lot of lubes made, and choosing the right one for your own use is likely becoming increasingly difficult. We feel for you. Sliquid H2O stands apart from the pack because it is not only 100% glycerine, paraben, and fragrance free, but it also has no flavor to speak of. None. Zip. Nada. So for all you folks who like the option of oral play without the sharp flavor of lube getting in the way, we adore this option.

Also, Sliquid H2O is hypoallergenic, non-staining, and is compatible with latex products, silicone toys, rubber, and just about anything else you want to slip inside you. Medium bodied and excellent for both vaginal and anal play. Made by women for women and wonderful for men as well, this lube is designed specifically to not cause yeast infections or UTI's. Also, no animal testing; we love that!

Ingredients: Purified Water, Plant Cellulose, Polyquat 007, DMDM Hydantion (100% vegan).

Sliquid Sassy Water-Based Gel Lubricant
Water-based lube that won't run around on you! Sliquid Sassy Water-Based Lube is a glycerine free, paraben free formula comes as a thick gel that will stay where you put it. If your pussy is prone to lube reactions, this is an optimal choice for keeping it happy. But don't limit your use to pussy play. Sliquid Sassy was intended for the butt-play enthusiast! (They don't call it Sassy Booty Formula for nuthin!) This lube is certainly slippery and stays wet for quite a while, but if it starts to dry up a little, dab a little water or saliva on the area for tons more glide. Flavorless and non-staining, a great new product made in the USA by folks who put the health of your body on par with your pleasure! We admire that in a company and we love their lubes.

We should also note that this is the very first lube here at Blowfish that is both glycerine free and paraben free and we are thrilled that someone finally, finally made one.

Ingredients:Purfied Water, Plant Cellulose, Polyquat 007, and DMDM Hydantoin (100% Vegan and never tested on animals).

Trimensa Lube DeLuxe Cream Lubricant
Trimensa, best known for the venerable ForPlay line of lubes, has introduced a new premium lube family, Lube DeLuxe. We particularly like this one, the Cream variation; it's not a fluid, but a lovely creamy paste, and that means it stays put before you put it where you want it to go. (Don't you hate those "dump lube all over the sheets by accident" incidents? We sure do.) Very slippery, long-lasting, and 100% latex safe.

While the ingredient list on the packaging reads as follows:

Ingredients: Deionized water, glycerin, glycol fusion, cellulose gum, chlorhexidine gluconate, potassium sorbate.

It has come to our attention that this lube contains some amount of methylparabens and propylparabens.

Trimensa Lube DeLuxe Gel Lubricant
Another cool lube in the Lube DeLuxe family from Trimensa, best known for the venerable ForPlay. The Gel variety is somewhere between the Cream variety and a traditional liquid lube; it runs, but not very far or fast.

It contains no glycerin, so if you've had bad reactions to glycerin in the past, you now have another choice in a water-based lube. Or, if you want something that pours and runs, but a typical lube isn't thick enough for you, here you are. It's a great choice for anal sex.

It's water based, so it's 100% latex safe.

Trimensa Lube DeLuxe GelPlus Lubricant
And Trimensa's lube explosion continues with another Lube DeLuxe family member. GelPlus has the same consistency as the Gel variety, but includes Aloe Vera for the skin. It contains no glycerin, so if you've had bad reactions to glycerin in the past, you now have another choice in a water-based lube. Or, if you want something that pours and runs, but a typical lube isn't thick enough for you, here you are. It's a great choice for anal sex.

It's water based, so it's 100% latex safe.
