But finding the right one can be tricky. To find the best ones, we tried 29 options: We assessed the feel, smell, and taste of each, and we considered factors like packaging (Is the bottle travel friendly? Is it discreet enough to display?), price, and consistency. And we interviewed experts, including sex educators, doctors, sex-toy store owners, and even the chief science officer of a major lube company. After all that, we’re sure that there is no single best lube for every body and every sexual activity. But we did find six great standout options for different needs to help kick-start your search.
