How to Choose the Right Lubricant — A Complete Guide

Lubricant is the most purchased product at Heaven Adult Shop — and for good reason. The right lube makes everything better. But with so many options, how do you pick? Here's everything you need to know.

Water-Based Lubricants

Best for: everyday use, toy compatibility, sensitive skin

Water-based lubes are the most versatile option. They're safe with all condom types and all toy materials — silicone, rubber, glass, and metal. Easy to clean up and won't stain sheets.

Our top pick: Muko Water-Based Lubricating Jelly — our #1 bestseller.

Downside: May need reapplication during longer sessions as they absorb into the skin.

Silicone-Based Lubricants

Best for: long-lasting sessions, shower/water play

Silicone lubes last much longer than water-based — they don't dry out or wash away in water. Great for shower or bath use.

Important: Do NOT use silicone lube with silicone toys — it can damage the material. Stick to water-based lube for silicone toys.

Specialty Lubricants

Warming lubes — create a gentle heating sensation for added stimulation

Cooling lubes — a tingling, refreshing effect

Flavoured lubes — designed for oral play, available in multiple flavours

Anal lubes — thicker formula designed for anal play, provides extra cushioning

How Much Lubricant Should You Use?

More than you think. Start with a coin-sized amount and add more as needed. Too little lube causes friction and discomfort — there's no such thing as too much.

Lubricant and Condoms

Water-based and silicone-based lubes are safe with latex and polyisoprene condoms. Never use oil-based products (coconut oil, vaseline) with latex condoms — they break down the material.

Lubricant and Toys

• Silicone toys → use water-based lube only
• Glass or metal toys → any lube works
• Rubber/TPE toys → water-based recommended

Always clean your toys after use with a toy cleaner to maintain hygiene.
