Personal lubricant, or lube, can enhance both solo and partnered sex, making the experience more comfortable and pleasurable overall. It can protect delicate tissues. And it may be a necessity for those who enjoy anal sex or experience vaginal dryness.
While there is no single best lube for every body and every sexual activity, we found Aloe Cadabra Natural Aloe water-based lube to be long lasting, non-sticky, condom- and toy-friendly, and thick enough to work for anal use as well as vaginal use. This formula, primarily consisting of aloe vera gel, has earned FDA clearance and is available in an assortment of flavors.
We also recommend other water-based formulas, as well as silicone, hybrid, and oil-based lubricants suited for vaginal and anal use.
