Gels Buying Guide
Thick lubes such as ID Jelly Extra Thick have a heavier, more cushioned feel that suits longer sessions. Massage glides such as Jo All in One Massage Glide are thinner and spread easily over skin, which suits full-body rubbing and hand play. Flavored oral gels from Goodhead, CGC and Handipop are sweet and sticky, made for mouth contact rather than general lubrication. Sliquid Soak is a bath product that goes in water, not on toys or skin during play.
Warming and cooling gels such as Happy G-Spot Cooling Pleasure Gel rely on a temperature change, so the appeal is mostly a matter of taste. Clitoral gels such as Skins Super Excite Clitoral Stimulation Gel and the Buzz Liquid Vibrator are aimed at one area rather than the whole body. Brands such as Body Action Products, Doc Johnson, California Exotic Novelties, Little Genie, System JO, HOTT, Sensuva, Intimate Earth, Wicked Lubes and Elbow Grease each cover several of these types, so the brand name alone does not tell you what the gel is for.
A beginner is best served by a plain water-based gel, which works with most toys and washes out easily. Read the base on each label, since that matters more than the scent. Flavors and warming or cooling effects are extras you can add later. Smaller sizes, such as the 0.5 oz and 15ml options, let you test texture before you commit to a larger tube.
Gels FAQ
- What is the difference between a thick lube and a massage glide?
- Thick lubes have a heavier, more cushioned texture and suit longer or more involved sessions. Massage glides are thinner and spread easily over skin, which suits full-body rubbing and hand play. Both lubricate, so the choice comes down to feel and how far the gel needs to spread.
- Are flavored oral gels meant for lubricating toys?
- Flavored oral gels are formulated for mouth contact and are sweet and sticky. Use them for oral play, and choose a plain water-based lube for the rest of the session. Their flavor is the point, so they are not a general-purpose lubricant.
- Which gel should a beginner choose?
- A plain water-based gel is the most flexible starting point. It works with most toys and washes off easily. Pick a small tube first so you can see how the texture and scent suit you before buying a larger size.
