Here’s the thing about lube — it’s like having the right playlist for sex. You can go without it, but why would you when it makes everything smoother, sexier, and way more fun? I’ve had nights where a few drops turned “meh” into “holy sh*t, don’t stop,” and I’m not going back.
Whether you’re here in Edmonton with the luxury of 1-hour delivery there’s a perfect lube or cream out there for you. Let’s find it.
Why Lube Is Your Bedroom Wingman
It’s not just about dryness (though, let’s be real, that happens to everyone). Lube makes skin-on-skin glide instead of drag. It stops that “ow, wait a sec” moment in its tracks. And if you’re using toys? Your toy will love you more for it.
The Types and When They Shine
Water-Based Lube – The Chill, Easy-Going One
Works with all toys and condoms.
Feels natural — no weird sticky vibes.
Cleans up without leaving a “did I spill syrup?” mystery spot.I use this when I’m mixing toy play with partner play and don’t want to think too hard.
Silicone-Based Lube – The One That Stays All Night
Doesn’t dry out halfway through.
Amazing for shower or bath fun.
Don’t use it with silicone toys unless you enjoy melted plastic sadness.Great for marathon sessions or when you know things are going to get… thorough.
Flavoured Lube – The Flirty One
Tastes sweet, feels smooth.
Perfect for oral detours mid-session.Strawberry is my go-to, but I’ll try anything once — except that one “birthday cake” flavour. It lied to me.
Specialty Creams & Gels – The Game Changers
Delay creams: Give you more rounds before the fireworks.
Desensitizing creams: Make anal play less “ouch” and more “ohhh.”
Sensitivity creams: Like turning your nerve endings up to eleven.
How to Pick Yours Without Overthinking It
Toys + partners + variety? Water-based.
Long sessions, minimal re-application? Silicone.
Want to sweeten things up? Flavoured.
Trying something new? A specialty cream or gel might be your best friend.

Quick Answers Because Nobody Likes Bad Info
What’s the safest lube for condoms?
Water-based or silicone-based labeled “condom-safe.” Never oil-based with latex — trust me, it’s a mood-killer when things break.
Can I use lube with toys?
Yep. Just keep silicone toys and silicone lubes apart like two exes at a wedding.
Are flavoured lubes actually tasty?
If you buy the good stuff, yes. If not… think “scented candle” in your mouth.
Best choice for anal play?
Silicone lube or a desensitizing cream — because comfort is sexy.
