Not all lubes are equal. Here’s everything you need to know to choose the perfect one for your body and your toys.
Lube isn’t a “nice-to-have” — it’s a pleasure essential.
It reduces friction, increases comfort, deepens sensation and makes everything feel smoother and safer.
Here’s your quick Aura Love guide to the three most popular types.
1. Water-Based Lube — The All-Rounder

✔ Vaginal + anal play
Why people love it:
-
Super smooth
-
Easy to clean
-
Non-staining
-
Safe with silicone toys
-
Gentle on sensitive skin

2. Silicone-Based Lube — The Long-Lasting One
Best for:
✔ Anal play
✔ Shower play
✔ Hands-free fun
✔ People who want long-lasting glide
Why it’s great:
-
Ultra-silky
-
Doesn’t dry out
-
Waterproof
-
Perfect for long sessions
Do NOT use with silicone vibrators — it can damage the material.

3. Hybrid Lube — The Best of Both
Best for:

4. What About Flavoured or Warming Lubes?
They're fun — but choose trusted brands only.
Avoid anything with sugar or strong fragrances.
Final Thoughts
The right lube doesn’t just make things smoother —
it makes pleasure deeper, safer and more enjoyable.
