Lubes & Wellness

Lubes and Wellness covers personal lubricants alongside the products that support them, including massage oils and lotions, toy cleaners, kegel exercisers and pheromones. Lubricant base is what decides how a product feels and what it can safely touch, and the differences are larger than the packaging suggests. Lovva stocks Lubes and Wellness online across Australia and at its Sydney store.

Put a drop of each base on the back of your hand and the differences are immediate. Water-based feels light and slick at first, then gradually turns tacky as the water evaporates, which is why it needs a top up or a splash of water to bring it back rather than more product. Silicone feels denser and silkier, spreads much further from the same amount, and simply does not dry out, so it keeps going for as long as anyone wants and works underwater. Hybrids sit between the two, carrying the silkiness of silicone with most of the washability of water. Oil-based products and massage oils feel richest of all and stay on the skin longest. Water-based suits everything. Almost every recommendation on this site points there first because of it, and why the other bases are chosen for specific reasons rather than by default. Massage oils sit apart from all of it, being used on skin rather than anywhere a condom might be involved.

What Is In Lubes & Wellness?

Lubes and Wellness groups personal lubricants with the intimate care products used alongside them. Lubricants divide by base. Water-based is compatible with every toy material and every condom type, washes off with water and needs reapplying as it dries. Silicone-based lasts far longer, works in water and is safe with latex condoms, though it degrades silicone toys and can mark fabric. Hybrids are water-based formulas carrying some silicone, so they should be treated as silicone for toy compatibility unless a maker states otherwise. Oil-based products, including most massage oils, break down latex condoms entirely. Specialist formulas include thicker anal lubricants, flavoured lubricants for oral use, and warming or tingling products that create sensation through their ingredients. Glycerin-free options are stocked for anyone who prefers to avoid it. The wellness side covers toy cleaners, massage oils and lotions, kegel exercisers and pheromones. Bottle sizes range from single use sachets through to pump bottles, and sachets are a practical way to try a base before committing to a bottle of it.

How To Choose The Right Lubes & Wellness Products

A first bottle is best suited to a plain water based lube, because it works with every toy, every condom and every body, and nothing else in the category is that simple. Anyone wanting longer sessions or play in a shower is best suited to silicone lubes, provided no silicone toy is involved. Couples using condoms should avoid oil-based products entirely, since oil destroys latex. People shopping for anal play need a thicker formula rather than a standard one. Reapplication is the honest trade-off with water-based. It is the safest choice available and it also needs topping up, while silicone lasts and then limits what you can use it with. Warming and tingling products suit anyone curious about sensation, though a patch test on the inside of the wrist is worth doing first. Read the ingredients before buying if you avoid a specific one, since glycerin-free and flavoured formulas differ considerably between makers.

How To Use And Store Lubes & Wellness Products

Apply lubricant to both the toy and the body rather than only one, and reapply water-based formulas as they dry or refresh them with a little water instead of adding more product. Silicone lubricant stays away from silicone toys, since it degrades the surface over time, and oil-based products and massage oils stay away from latex condoms. Patch test any warming, tingling or flavoured product on the inside of the wrist before wider use, and read the ingredients on delay products, several of which contain numbing agents. Wash toys after every use with warm water and unscented soap or a dedicated cleaner, which removes residue that plain rinsing leaves behind. Close bottles properly and store them upright away from direct heat and sunlight. Check expiry dates, because lubricants do have them. Anyone experiencing irritation with a product should stop using it and speak to a doctor. Massage oils belong on skin rather than on toys, and neither they nor any oil-based product should go near a latex condom.
