Lube is one of those things that makes sex infinitely more fun, but for some reason it’s gotten a bad rap over the years. Why? We’re not sure exactly. Maybe it wasn’t considered sexy or chic enough to deserve any airtime during your bedroom romps, but it’s 2021 now, and as we’ve come to learn, it’s possible to make just about anything chic.
From lubricants that are so aesthetically-pleasing, they look like a high-end skincare product to lubes that are completely vegan, there’s a formula out there for absolutely everyone. Whether you’re having sex with a partner, indulging in a little solo play or going to town with a toy, lube can make your experience a lot more comfortable (and a lot more fun).
It’s important to remember that not all lubes are created equal, so we’ve sifted through to bring you the best of the bunch. Not only will these add a little slip and slide to your sexy time, but they’ll also look cute on your nightstand as well.
Below, our favourite lubes to shop right now.
