Water-based lubricants – the most versatile
Water-based gels are compatible with all condoms – latex, polyurethane and polyisoprene – as well as with sex toys made from any material. They wash off easily and do not leave stains.
What you’ll find in this category
- EGZO – WOW (moisturising), YES (warming), GO (cooling) and HEY (anal), in 50 ml and 100 ml sizes and as sets.
- OYO Personal – Universal, Aloe, Panthenol, Green Tea and Menthol, in 50 ml sizes.
- Durex – Naturals, Originals, Warming, Tingling, Strawberry and Cherry flavours, and Play Massage 2-in-1 for massage and intercourse.
What to bear in mind
Water-based gel is absorbed more quickly than silicone-based gel, so you may need to reapply it during prolonged use. On the other hand, there are no restrictions regarding condoms or sex toys. If you’re looking for longer-lasting lubrication, check out our range of gels by base type – including silicone-based and water-silicone hybrids.
Good to know
Before using it for the first time, read the ingredients and test the gel on a small patch of skin. If you experience a burning sensation or redness, stop using it.
