What’s silky, smooth, and comes in both a water-based and oil-based lubricant? Yes Lubricant. Yes offers a beautiful texture that feels natural and similar to vaginal lubrication, it’s moisturizing, body-safe and it’s even safe for couples trying to conceive. I got to try both the Yes water-based lubricant and the Yes oil-based lubricant, and thought that each of them had a wealth of great possibilities and even turned out quite lovely when paired together during masturbation or intimate moments. Yes is a UK-based brand that specializes in lubricants that are gentle but versatile. Their water-based formula helps to replenish the natural moisture of the vagina, and the slick sleek formula glides wonderful during use, and is compatible with latex condoms and sex toys. It’s not sticky or tacky, and it washes away easily in the shower without leaving any film or residue.

Yes Water-based Lubricant Ingredients: Aqua (water), Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera)*, Cyamopsis tetragonolobus (Guar Gum)*, Ceratonia siliqua (Locust Bean Gum)*, Linum usitatissimum (Flax extract)*, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium sorbate, Xanthan Gum, Citric acid.  (* organically grown)

As you can see, the formula uses natural ingredients rather than man-made chemicals or fillers. The formula is both paraben, silicone, and glycerine free. I really liked this lubricant for masturbation, it made for great use when paired with some of my favorite sex toys. I used this lubricant with my LELO Liv vibrator, and it was awesome. I noticed that this lubricant didn’t dry out like other lubes can do when paired with a silicone texture. I also used this lubricant with my Lelo Insignia Alia and it was awesome, it helped the toy glide in all of the right places and it worked in tandem with the silicone toy to get me off and keep me nice and wet until i was ready for some internal stimulation. This lube paired with an internal toy like the Liv was a great pair, my vibrator stayed slick and the lubricant didn’t dry out on the toy while I was using it. I only used a nickle sized amount and I didn’t have to re-apply, which was awesome! I’m used to having to add more lube, or some saliva to keep things moving along nicely, but I didn’t have to re-apply with the Yes waterbased lube.

I’m definitely not someone who uses oil based lubricants often. Why? I just didn’t feel as if there were enough of them on the market to really choose which was best for me. So when I tried Yes oil-based lubricant, I decided to try it on a steel sex toy, and I ended up using this with the Njoy Pure Wand. I loved the sleek feel of the oil based product, it definitely kept me completely lubed up for my entire session. It’s not condom compatible since it contains oil (oil breaks down latex) but it’s nice for solo use, or for you and a committed partner who don’t use condoms together.

Yes Oil-based Lubricant Ingredients: Prunus dulcis (Sweet almond) oil*, Butyrospermum parkii (Shea butter)*, Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) seed oil*, Theobroma cacao (Cocoa) seed butter*, Cera alba (Bees wax)*, Natural Tocopherols (Vitamin E). (* organically grown)

The oil-based lubricant features moisturizing oils like sweet almond oil, and vitamin e. This lube also works well as a massage oil! I tried it on my breasts, and my upper body, and legs, and it was delightful. The oils are softening to the skin and protective to the skin tissue. When used with a glass or steel or aluminum toy, this lube holds up wonderfully and the lubricating effect is long-lasting. A little dime sized amount was all I needed for a complete masturbatory session. This oil-based lubricant is also nice for sex in the shower, as the oil-based lube won’t wash away as easily as a water-based lubricant. It contains no funky additives or chemicals or detergents that can harm your body, simple oils and softening ingredients. This lube does take a little longer to clean up than a traditional water-based lubricant, as it doesn’t wash off as easily, but it definitely offered fabulous staying power which is beneficial when looking for a quality lubricant.

I even paired both lubricants together, applying the oil lubricant first, with a small amount of oil based on top and it was awesome. The two melded just nicely and that with my natural lubrication made me super slippery and ready for action! I highly recommend this lubricant, not only for it’s awesome formula and feel, but because of the organic ingredients.
