How to Choose the Best Lube for Masturbation or Toys
If you’re not using personal lubricant when you’re indulging in some solo time or playing with your favorite toys, you’re missing out. The right lube can increase your pleasure, making everything feel smoother, slicker, and even more intense. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the best lube for masturbation or toys?
Let’s break it down and find the perfect match for your needs—whether you want something warming, cooling, extra slick, or designed specifically for your favorite vibrator or masturbation sleeve (like a Fleshlight).
Why Lube Matters for Solo Play and Toys
Masturbation should feel amazing every time, and a high-quality personal lubricant enhances the experience by reducing friction and adding extra glide. But not all lubes are great for all purposes—some are better suited for different sensations, toy materials, and body parts.
That’s why it’s crucial to know which formulas work best for your specific playstyle and preferences.
The Different Types of Lubes (and When to Use Them)
There are three main types of lube: water-based, silicone-based, and hybrid. Each has its pros and cons, depending on what you’re using it for.
Water-Based Lubricants
Water-based lubes are the most versatile and safe for use with all sex toys. They provide a natural feel and are easy to clean up. However, they may need to be reapplied during longer sessions.
Try: Aqua Heat – This warming lube is perfect if you want a gentle, arousing heat to enhance solo play. Since it’s water-based, it won’t damage your silicone toys and cleans up easily with water and toy cleaner.
Silicone-Based Lubricants
Silicone lubes last much longer than water-based options, making them great for extended solo play. However, they should not be used with silicone toys as they can degrade the material.
Try: Ultra Chill – This cooling silicone lube adds an exciting chill to your experience while providing ultra-smooth, long-lasting glide. It’s excellent for manual play but should be avoided with silicone-based toys.
Hybrid Lubricants
A mix of water-based and silicone, hybrid lubes offer the best of both worlds—longer-lasting slickness without the full stickiness of silicone alone. They are often compatible with most toys but always check the label.
Try: simply® timeless™ Hybrid + DHEA – This extra-moisturizing formula combines the versatility of water-based lube with long-lasting silicone.
Oil-Based and Cream Lubricants
These are not suitable for use with latex condoms but are fantastic for skin-on-skin contact and manual masturbation.
Try: Creme Masturbation Cream – This rich, silky formula is specifically designed for penises, providing an incredibly smooth, non-sticky feel. It’s excellent for manual stroking but not recommended for toy use.

Manual Masturbation: Hands-On Pleasure for All Bodies
Using your hands for masturbation can be just as satisfying as using toys, especially when paired with the right lube. For penises, a high-quality lubricant like Creme Masturbation Cream provides an ultra-smooth glide that enhances sensation while reducing friction.
Vulva owners can enjoy external or internal stimulation with a silky water-based lube like Aqua Heat, adding a gentle warming sensation to heighten pleasure.
For anal masturbation, it’s essential to use a thicker, longer-lasting lubricant such as a silicone-based formula like Ultra Chill to ensure maximum comfort and slickness. No matter your anatomy, the right lube can turn manual masturbation into a truly indulgent experience.
Best Lube for Fleshlight and Stroker Toys
Fleshlights and other realistic stroker toys require a lube that mimics natural wetness while maintaining smooth gliding action. Since these toys are typically made of soft, porous materials, choosing the right lube is essential for longevity and comfort.
Try: Toy Love – This water-based lubricant is designed specifically for sex toys, making it a fantastic choice for Fleshlights. It has a thick, luxurious texture that stays in place, preventing the lube from dripping out too quickly while keeping everything silky smooth.
Bonus Tip: Always clean your Fleshlight or stroker with a quality toy cleaner after each use to prevent bacteria buildup and extend its lifespan.
Best Lubes for Vibrators and Other Toys
If you’re using a vibrator, dildo, or other insertable toy, it’s important to choose a lube that’s toy-safe and enhances the experience rather than interfering with it.
Try:
- Toy Love – A extra-thick water-based gel lubricant that is perfect for all types of toys.
- Toy Heat – A warming lube designed specifically for toys, adding an arousing heat to your pleasure sessions.
- Toy Chill – A cooling version that provides a tantalizing tingle, perfect for those who enjoy temperature play.
The Toy Love Collection of lubes are water-based, making them safe for silicone toys and easy to wash off.
Lubes for External Pleasure: Clitoral Stimulation & More
For those who love external stimulation, especially on the clitoris, a stimulating gel or arousal-enhancing lube can take things up a notch.
Try: Awaken Clitoral Stimulation Gel – This unique formula is designed to heighten sensitivity, making every touch and vibration feel more intense. It’s perfect for solo play or partnered fun when you want to amplify pleasure.
