Flavored and Warming Lube

Flavored lube: fun, with a patch test

Flavored lubricants, often sold as edible lube, are made for oral play and often come in fruit, vanilla or mint. Many are water-based and advertise sugar-free formulas. Warming lube and cooling lube add ingredients that create a gentle tingling sensation and can be a lighthearted addition for couples.

Added flavors and sensation agents are also the most common triggers of irritation, so skip them if your skin is sensitive and consider a patch test. Edible does not mean for every body: sugar-containing formulas may not suit people prone to yeast infections.

Brands with flavored ranges include Aloe Cadabra, Hello Cake, JO and Wet. If you have sensitive skin, try our sensitive skin picks first.
