These Are The 5 Best Personal Lubricants On Earth
by The Candidly Team
Notice we didn’t say “lube” in the title because that is a truly horrifying word and we refuse to speak it. In fact just reading it right now is hideous.
But having a favorite personal lubricant is a must, especially as a 40ish gal. Because there is no shame, regardless of your “why” for using it. Maybe your doctor recommends it because you get heinous UTIs. Maybe you’re post-menopausal and things are getting a little bit dusty down there. Maybe you just enjoy the extra slip. Whatever the case may be, using lubricant doesn’t mean your body isn’t working. In fact, it means your body is working perfectly and you’re making smart decisions about how to keep it happy and healthy.
Ok, enough of all that. Let’s get into it.
1. Our favorite overall
What: Maude Shine
Why: Paraben-free. Never, ever sticky. Surprisingly long lasting. And while it’s not necessary for our personal lubricant bottles to be this attractive, it certainly doesn’t hurt. Also the pump is life-changing.
Price: $25
2. For extra-sensi bits
What: Aloe Cadabra Natural Personal Lube
Why: This one is truly a godsend. Great if you’re prone to yeast infections and UTI issues or just have a generally angry or annoyed vagina. Read the reviews!
Price: $11
3. Our favorite drugstore
What: KY Jelly Glide
Why: Plays well with latex condoms and also with toys. Safe for back door fun.
Price: $4
4. Most long-lasting
What: Überlube
Why: If you don’t want to have to interrupt your intimate time, you can use this long before the big moment, and things will be juuuuust as slippery. And never ever sticky. And the perfect choice for any of your underwater or shower-adjacent romps.
Price: $20
5. Best luxury lube
What: pjur Original
Why: We have it on good authority that this silicone-based gel is the gold standard for people in the professional adult industry. We tried it. It’s perfect.
P.S. They also make a water-based version if you need compatibility for toys and/or latex condoms.
Price: $38
