Lube is the cheapest upgrade in this entire store. The wrong kind can ruin a toy, so here is the short version.
Water-based
Works with every toy material and every condom. Washes off with water. Dries out faster than other types; a little water revives it. Look for glycerin-free if you are prone to yeast infections.
Silicone-based
Lasts a long time and is ideal in the shower or with steel and glass toys. Do not use it with silicone toys: it bonds with the surface and leaves it gummy and porous for good.
Hybrid
Mostly water with a small amount of silicone. Longer lasting than water-based, and generally fine with silicone toys, though we still suggest patch testing on the base of the toy first.
Oil-based
Coconut oil and similar feel good and last, but they break down latex condoms and can stain sheets. Fine for external use or with non-latex barriers.
Cleaning up
Rinse toys right after use, then use a toy cleaner or mild soap. Dry completely before storing. A dedicated storage bag keeps dust and other materials off the surface.
