CBD, like cannabis overall, still needs to be studied more closely. CBD lube also isn't a cure-all, and while I've found it beneficial for pelvic pain, everyone's body is different. Further, the FDA doesn't currently regulate CBD lube, so a potential customer — you! — have to do your due diligence when choosing a product. Lube makes pretty much every type of sex better, end of story. It's crucial for anal sex, as the rectum isn't self-lubricating, and it enhances vaginal sex as well. There are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for lube. It's wise to avoid glycerin, parabens, and sugars, as they can lead to yeast and bacterial infections for people with vulvas. Numbing agents are also a no-no: You want to feel more, not less, and pain is an important signal that you could be going too hard or fast. Oils are also not the best choice for vulvas since they've been known to lead to irritation, and they're also not latex-friendly and could even break a condom. Silicone-based varieties are great since they're long-lasting and fantastic for butt stuff, but they don't mix well with silicone toys — liquid silicone can degrade solid silicone. Never fear, intrepid lube user, there are a plethora of water-based options available for your next pegging session. The first thing we noted when we saw the bottles from Roam was the braille on the side of the bottle. This is the only time we have seen something like this on any of the bottles. It wasn’t a discreet placement eitherm but the entire side of the bottle. We never think of lube as needing to have a well thought out design or be inclusive but Roam highlights how clever little additions can make a product. The first impression of this product is that it in no way looks like lube. The design, colour choice and wording are so discreet that you could stare directly at it and still not realise. This is potentially great news for chronic pain patients such as myself; while neither of these studies are about vulvas or the pelvis, specifically, the nature of the cannabinoid suggests it can help there as well. CBD is a vasodilator, according to Dr. Brandye, an OB/GYN, sex and pleasure coach and author, meaning it opens up (dilates) the blood vessels. This means CBD lube likely helps with arousal by getting blood flowing to the genitals, which also helps with the production of the body's natural lubricants.
S8’s vegan lube contains a good amount of aloe vera which makes it a great choice for anyone looking for a soothing product. Aloe vera is thought to be moisturising and calming when used on the skin. This is something we never realised was a thing for “down there” but here we are. The extra moisturisation from the aloe vera leaves is thought to aid sensation and glide. It’s completely up to you. We’ve designed our slippery lube to create natural wetness. One pump might be enough, but if you want to do more then go for it! If it feels good you’re doing it right.In my experience, CBD lube is a great addition to the bedroom. I feel a heightened sensation during sex; when I use water-based CBD lube on my pelvic wand to relieve pain, I feel more relaxed (and my muscles do, too). Here’s a few tips we’d want you to know if you’re about to have anal for the first time. Firstly - take things slow. The first time you insert, it may feel a bit uncomfortable. Use plenty of lube, and insert slowly and gently. Then, when pulling out and re-inserting be careful. Make sure that you only take a little more each time, and that you only do things that feel comfortable. For this process, we’d suggest using lube generously to reduce the friction. You’ll get to a point where you’re adequately stretched, and it will feel easier. Our microbiome prebiotic helps to support that vaginal microbiome to keep the vagina healthy after sex. Thankfully, despite it being a CBD product, it doesn’t have a hemp smell which can happen. CBD is thought to potentially increase blood flow so it can help if you are struggling to get in the mood. This is a good product for anyone interested in starting CBD for “down there” or during. The bottle and marketing is cheerful, bright and not at all scary or an information overload, so it feels approachable and easy to use. Yes - this is actually something we’d recommend. Adding lube into your vibe time can heighten your sensation - making it even more pleasurable.
GoLove stands out on this list by virtue of being water-based, not oil-based. This is a big deal because, as previously stated, only water-based lubes can be used with condoms and/or toys. It's the only CBD lube I can use with my pelvic wand. It’s completely up to you. We’ve designed our lube to create natural wetness. One pump might be enough, but if you want to do more then go for it! If it feels good, you’re doing it right. Glissant has the lowest concentration of CBD on the list, at 100 mg per 30 mL bottle. Unfortunately, its bottle has the same problem as TOCA's in that it's a spray. It's impossible to tell just how much of the product comes out in one spray, especially because it can change depending on how aggressively you press. Its consistency was similar to TOCA's, as well. When it came to testing, we had a lot to choose from including natural options, CBD versions and even bottles of probiotics. There was an endless supply of interesting options to try but all of the products we selected were of very high quality. When it comes to scents and flavors, your first instinct may be to run away. According to Brandye, however, they add a different vibe and encourage you to engage with the five senses. This makes the experience more memorable, which helps with the pleasure cycle.
The best lubricants for 2022 are:
While CBD is fat-soluble, using a surfactant breaks down the surface tension of the fat-soluble molecules so it can be used in a water-based lube. Renko explained this using the analogy of water and grease when you're washing dishes: Water and grease (fat) don't mix unless soap — the surfactant — is present, and that helps clean the dishes. In addition to what's on this list, I also tried Foria's Intimacy Natural Lubricant with CBD, but decided not to include it here as I wasn't a fan of its dropper or water-like consistency; both made for a messy experience. It's also 200 mg per 120 mL, which is a lot lower concentration than the others. The vagina microbiome is a micro-ecosystem that fluctuates during a woman's life and menstrual cycle. First, many, but not all, CBD lubes are oil-based. This is because CBD is a fat-soluble cannabinoid, meaning it dissolves in substances like oil (such as coconut or hemp oil). Oil breaks down condoms and sex toy material, so don't use these lubes — CBD or not — with those items.
Hoo Raa’s lube has been designed for “frictionless fumbles together or alone” with 240mg of CBD isolate added for good measure.
The science behind CBD lube
It felt instantly different to the others as well, in that it’s more of a balm, down to the natural ingredients of olive oil and beeswax. This means it’s naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and high in anti-oxidants, making it a great option for anyone looking for something that looks after vagina health at the same time. It purposely doesn’t use the word “lube” to describe itself as it notes it can be used by people in menopause or experiencing prolapse. The reports that do exist are pretty encouraging. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School concluded in 2016 that CBD may help with inflammation, for example. A 2019 study out of the University of Louisiana stated that CBD could improve chronic pain and sleep in opioid users, and decrease their reliance on opioids as well.
That's why, at Good Housekeeping , we love to shine a spotlight on any new sex toy and wellness brands that come onto our radar, to help you find the best options for your sex life. So, we were excited to hear about Roam, the brand that puts "pleasure", "people" and the "planet" first. If you haven’t done this before, it can feel uncomfortable. We want to be honest about that. Our tip is to go slow, use lots of lube. After some practice it can feel pretty great. Use the right lube to make sure you don’t miss out. In addition to any possible physiological benefits, CBD lubes also bring a novelty factor to sex, said Brandye, which in itself can get you more excited to be intimate. "Anything that is helping women to explore what they enjoy and like about sex...is pretty good in my opinion," she said. Oomf is, quite simply, a brilliant product. The lube has been designed by a team that includes a gynaecologist and it shows, by how hard working this product is. It contains CBD which is thought to help with blood flow and discomfort by engaging with our bodies’ endocannabinoid system receptors that manage pain or anxiety.
It’s designed to be used as a massage oil and a lubricant so is safe to use internally. But do note, as an oil product, it is not safe to be used with latex or silicone toys so will break condoms or glyde dams. That said, it’s still a great product and one we started to use on non-sex days when we felt a bit of vaginal discomfort. The reason for that is due to the different botanical oils including lavender, grapeseed oil and CBD which are used to minimise discomfort. It also created a lovely fragrance which while lovely, is strong so worth noting if you are sensitive to smell. If gel formulas aren’t for you then Smilemakers has also designed three other consistencies which have lighter feels than the generous gel. The reasonable price on all of them means you can invest in a selection to try. We can interrupt that [negative] cycle and give a positive experience and have the reinforcements of, 'Oh, that smells good,' 'Oh, that tasted good,' 'Oh, that felt good,'" she explained, "And it helps to create a more positive effect and a more positive response to sex." CBD also keeps for a long time, according to Bone, so there's no need for these lubes to have preservatives. Sexologist Dr. Sadie Allison and CBD scientist and cannabis educator John Renko created GoLove with the goal of having a water-based CBD lube without possible irritants like parabens, glycerin, or stimulants.
