1. Fleshlube Water: Overall Test Winner!
The Fleshlight company makes Fleshlube Water, so it’s pretty apparent it’s the best Fleshlight lube, not only for their products but for any pocket pussy. During our testing, we found the water-based lubricant worked perfectly with Fleshlight and didn’t damage the material.
Unlike other lubes in this price range, Fleshlube Water has a consistent texture and doesn’t dry up in the canal or your penis. The testers found that it doesn’t clump up in the sleeves, making cleaning and overall maintenance easy. Simply run clean water with mild soap or sex toy cleaner before rinsing off, and you’re good to go.
Fleshlube Water is also the most effective lubricant on this list, and you only need a few drops for a sloppy masturbation session. It has a well-calculated thickness that makes it easy to apply without affecting its longevity. It also has a hypoallergenic and paraben-free formula, so it’s gentle on the skin.
We couldn’t find much negative to say about this product. But if someone twists my arm to come up with one con, I say it’s not great for anal sex as it’s not as thick as some of the other brands – a minor flaw but worth mentioning.
Pros:
- Hypoallergenic, body-safe formula.
- Low viscosity makes application easier.
- Easy to clean water-based lubricant.
- Affordable price tag ($14.99)
- Additional ingredients condition the SuperSkin material to enhance longevity.
Cons:
- Not ideal for anal sex
2. Sliquid H2O Original: Our Runner Up!
Unlike lubes that use Glycerin and other sugary ingredients, Sliquid H2O Original uses cellulose as a thickening ingredient. It emulates your body’s lubrication using cellulose gum, making masturbation and sex organic. Just squeeze a few drops on your penis and the Fleshlight’s ‘mouth’ and enjoy the sensational orgasms.
We also found that this vegan and animal products-free lube is perfect for Fleshlight use. It’s body-friendly, gentle for sensitive skin, and lasts for a long time, eliminating the need for constant re-application. You can use it anywhere on your body, and it’s compatible with all sex toy materials.
The testers appreciated that Sliquid H2O Original uses minimal ingredients, excluding all unnecessary additives that might cause skin irritation. The lube’s hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and flavorless formula offers you the necessary peace of mind. During our testing, we found it’s also odorless, and you don’t have to worry about aftercare; cleaning is straightforward.
It was a close call, but we put Sliquid H2O Original slightly behind Fleshlight Water primarily because the latter needed less reapplying and didn’t clump so much. But we still think Sliquid H2O Original is a good buy especially if you want a vegan product.
Pros:
- Safe, odorless formula.
- Perfect for full-body use.
- Water-based, vegan lube.
- Minimal ingredients to reduce the possibility of irritation
- It uses Citric Acid as the preservative
Cons:
- Unfortunately, the lube dries pretty fast.
- It’s a little runny.
3. Fleshlube Fire: Warming Effect!
Fleshlight Fleshlube Fire is another handy lubricant from the Fleshlight brand. What makes this beauty stand out is the warming technology that warms your skin on contact, making the experience more realistic and stimulating. It allows you to literally turn the heat on in the bedroom.
The testers noted that it comes out in a thin, slippery film, making the application easy. The soothing texture remained throughout the session and only required a few drops. The overall opinion of the team was only positive. Everyone reported that the patented warming technology amplified the overall experience culminating in a more intense orgasm.
Like it’s Water cousin above, we don’t believe it’s the best option for anal play (use silicone instead). You need a more slippery product that won’t dry out as quickly as some of these water-based products.
Pros:
- Hypoallergenic and natural formula.
- Warms on contact.
- Washes off easily
- Water-based, high-quality lube.
- Paraben-free; gentle on sensitive skin.
Cons:
- It’s slightly costly compared to other market options.
- Not suitable for anal sex.
4. Astroglide Liquid: Most Versatile!
Astroglide Liquid is the most versatile choice on this list, offering a silky-smooth experience with Fleshlight. During our testing, we couldn’t get enough of how its formula ensures a comfortable glide. This lube proved to be versatile, working well with any male or female sex toy, not just Fleshlights.
The testers especially liked that the smooth, quick-spreading formula prevents it from clumping up in the sleeve, keeping your skin feeling great. Applying just a few drops to the sleeve’s opening and your penis ensures an even, enjoyable experience.
Astroglide Liquid is not only versatile but also easy to apply, thanks to its user-friendly bottle. Its hypoallergenic, natural formula is safe for sensitive skin and is latex-friendly and paraben-free, making it a great choice for use with condoms.
However, despite its versatility, it’s worth noting that it’s not ideal for vaginal penetration due to its glycerin content, which can be sugary and unsuitable for regular use on your partner’s vagina. If you’re looking for a lube for vaginal use, you might want to explore other options on this list.
Pros:
- Hypoallergenic and natural formula.
- Versatile personal lubricant.
- Latex-friendly and paraben-free.
- Water-based, non-sticky lube.
- The easy-squeeze bottle makes the application simple.
Cons:
- It contains Glycerin, a red-flag ingredient in lubes.
5. System JO H2O: Vegan-Friendly!
Are you looking for a vegan-friendly lubricant for your beloved Fleshlight? System JO H2O should be your go-to. This water-based lube is crafted with minimal, natural ingredients to reduce the risk of skin irritation, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience. It’s also safe to use with condoms, making cleanup a breeze.
One standout feature our testers really enjoyed is its user-friendly squeeze bottle, which makes application effortless and minimizes the chances of spills. The compact 1.0 fl oz size is perfect for on-the-go use and is ideal for travelers or anyone who wants to keep their play discreet and convenient.
What sets this lube apart is its plant-sourced glycerin, known for its gentle properties on the skin, making it suitable for vaginal use, unlike Astroglide. Additionally, being paraben-free adds to its appeal, as it’s always reassuring to know you’re using a product free from potentially harmful chemicals.
Pros:
- Body-safe formula.
- Plant-sourced glycerin.
- Condom-friendly and parabens-free.
- Water-based, whole-body lube.
- The easy-squeeze bottle makes the application simple.
Cons:
- It comes in a really small bottle.
6. Pjur Aqua: Premium Pick!
Pjur Aqua is like the VIP of water-based lubes, specially made to take your Fleshlight game to the next level with just the right amount of moisture. Its top-notch ingredients are carefully selected to feel as natural as your body’s own lubrication, giving you that extra touch of luxury. And bonus: it’s totally safe to use with latex condoms!
One thing we love about Pjur Aqua is its hypoallergenic formula, which is gentle on all skin types. So, no matter your skin sensitivity, you can enjoy a comfortable experience every time. Its medical-grade quality not only makes intimate activities smoother and more pleasurable but also adds to your natural lubrication.
While Pjur Aqua might not win the longest-lasting award among water-based lubes, its premium quality and sensation-enhancing formula make it a top pick for those wanting to up their sexual experience. Plus, you only need a few drops, making it a budget-friendly choice with long-lasting effects!
Pros:
- Velvety-smooth formula.
- Safe to use for all skin types.
- Latex condom-friendly.
- Water-based, sense-enhancing personal lubricant.
Cons:
- Like other water-based lubes, it doesn’t last the longest.
7. Lovehoney Enjoy: Beginner-Friendly!
Lovehoney Enjoy is a great choice for lube newbies, offering a silky-smooth formula that lasts, which we think is perfect for Fleshlight consumers. It delivers extra-slippery sensations during solo play, requiring only a small amount for a satisfying experience. Our testers found it incredibly beginner-friendly, standing out from the rest.
The new 8.5 fl oz bottle provides plenty of lube for solo or couple play, featuring a pump application that’s easy to use and reduces waste. This user-friendly design ensures a hassle-free experience, letting you focus on pleasure. To let you in on a little secret- we couldn’t get enough of it!
Another standout feature of Lovehoney Enjoy is its compatibility with polyurethane and latex condoms, making cleanup easy and simplifying your playtime. Its long-lasting formula is also safe for use with all sex toy materials, adding to its versatility and making it a great option for any toy.
Pros:
- Long-lasting formula.
- Suitable for use with all sex toy materials.
- Latex and polyurethane are condom-friendly.
- Quality water-based personal lubricant.
Cons:
- I found Lovehoney Enjoy a little too runny for my liking.
8. Fleshlube Ice: Cooling Effect
Fleshlube Ice offers a unique cooling sensation that sets it apart from its warming counterpart, Fleshlube Fire. This cooling effect is designed to heighten arousal and maintain a firm erection during masturbation or foreplay. It creates a tingling, shivery feeling that spreads excitement throughout your body, enhancing the overall experience.
Now, after going bananas with this bad boy, we found out that the refreshing coolness of Fleshlube Ice doesn’t just stop at the surface; it penetrates deep, increasing your sexual awareness and intensifying pleasure. Its smooth, low-viscosity texture makes it easy to apply, ensuring the sensation lasts longer than other lubes. Simply apply a few drops to your penis and the sleeve’s tunnel, spread evenly, and enjoy the amplified sensations.
Whether using Fleshlube Ice with a Fleshlight or a partner, you’ll appreciate the extra kick it provides. Made from high-quality, medical-grade ingredients, this lube enhances your experience while minimizing the risk of skin irritation. Pretty cool, right (pun intended)?
Pros:
- It cools on skin contact.
- The safe formula is gentle on sensitive skin.
- Hypoallergenic and natural lubricant.
- Easy to clean.
Cons:
- It’s considerably pricey for the size.
9. ID Glide: FDA-Approved!
ID Glide is the real deal—it’s FDA-approved for your skin, so you know it’s safe and top-notch. This lube is crystal clear and super smooth, with high-quality ingredients to boost your pleasure. Perfect for Fleshlights and other toys, it’s great for both guys and gals looking to amp up their playtime.
What’s cool about ID Glide is that it works with silicone and rubber toys to keep your favorite toys in tip-top shape. Plus, it’s condom-friendly, making cleanup a breeze and keeping things simple.
This USA-made lube has a clear, odorless formula that feels amazing on your skin without any irritation. It’s also non-staining and washes off easily with water, making it the perfect choice for hassle-free fun.
Pros:
- FDA-approved.
- Unobtrusive pleasure enhancement aid.
- Easy to clean.
- Latex-friendly.
Cons:
- It’s considerably pricey for the size.
10 Gun Oil H2O: Improved Sensitivity
Last but not least, Gun Oil H2O is all about enhancing your pleasure with Fleshlight. This high-quality lube is lightweight and smooth, making application easy. Plus, it’s super economical – just a few drops, and you’re ready. The purified, water-based formula is safe for your body and contains no added flavors that could irritate.
What sets Gun Oil H2O apart from the competition is its focus on sensitivity. Enriched with Ginseng and Guarana extracts, it boosts blood flow and heightens sensitivity for an even more intense experience. It also contains Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and Oats to repair damaged tissue and reduce irritation.
This lube is glycerin-free and paraben-free, making it safe to use with other sex toys. It’s also condom-safe, making cleanup a breeze. Gun Oil H2O is designed to elevate your pleasure and make your playtime more enjoyable.
Pros:
- Lightweight, smooth texture.
- Purified water-based lube.
- Condom and sex toy-safe.
Cons:
- It has a skin-pruning effect when used for long periods – similar to staying in the pool too long.
How We Picked The Products
Not all lubricants are built the same. When researching reviews on many retail sites, we identified 8 key decision-making factors we could measure using well-defined quantitative metrics. They included the following:
- Price & Value
- Material safe
- Body-Safe ingredients
- Is it easy it is to apply
- How easy it is to wash off
- How long does it last
- Odor/smell
- Other features (heating, cooling, etc.)
During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the rating comes from Body-Safe ingredients (25%) and How long does it last (25%). After that comes Material Safe (10%), Ease of Use (10%), and Odor/Smell (5%).
Finally, we spent countless hours scouring forums, reading customer reviews (Amazon, Lovehoney, etc.), and interviewing experts and friends to identify our review samples, which we bought and put to the test using our rigorous review process.
What Is Fleshlight Lube?
Fleshlight lubes are liquids or gels designed to induce wetness and avoid friction and potential injury or irritation when using male masturbators. There are numerous types of lubes, but the unifying factor remains to simplify penetration while increasing the sexual activity intensity and making sex toy play and masturbation more pleasurable.
Does Fleshlight come with lube? Yes, most models are delivered with at least a small sachet of Fleshlube. In addition, if you buy products for more than a certain amount, they usually send you a larger bottle.
Why Do I Need Lube For My Fleshlights?
Probably the most accurate way to put it, using pocket pussies or a Fleshlight without lube can be equated to using a USB-rechargeable sex toy on a flat battery. It might jiggle for a few seconds, but that’s all you’ll get.
- The prime reason you need lube is to avoid muscle tearing and other penile injuries. Trust me! The last part you want to injure is your penis. It’s painful, and the injury will render you ‘disabled’ for days.
- Another reason you need lube is to induce the slide and slip to elevate your self-pleasuring experience. A good quality lube not only reduces the possibility of injury but also increases the quality of stimulation.
- Lastly, lube reduces the stress on the sleeve, ultimately decreasing the wear and tear rate. This way, you can enjoy it for a long time before thinking about finding a replacement.
Pro Tip: When combined with a warm Fleshlight, lubing takes your experience to a new level of realism.
What To Think About When Buying A Product
1. Only Use Water-based Lube
You should use water-based lubricants only with your Fleshlight. Silicone-based and oil-based lubes will damage the SuperSkin material gradually, ultimately making it unsafe. How? Well, once the material is damaged, your Fleshlight becomes a hub for bacteria and other disease-causing organisms that can later transfer to your sensitive spots.
So, only use a water-based lubricant for your Fleshlight. What I like about water-based lubes is they are also compatible with other sex toys and latex condoms.
2. Liquid or Gel Lubes
When shopping for a water-based lube, there are two options: liquid and gel. While most people will overlook this factor, each type has pros and cons.
- The liquid lubes feel more like the vaginal liquid generated during sex, making the experience more natural. They’re more lightweight and unobtrusive, making them fan favorites. However, because of the light texture, liquid lube evaporates quickly. Hence you’ll have to re-apply more regularly than with a gel lube.
- On the other hand, gel water-based lubes are thick and highly viscous, translating to a longer-lasting effect. Unlike the liquid, the thick gel lube lasts longer. You don’t have to keep on re-applying now and then.
Pro Tip: Gel lubes have a denser slickness than liquid, making them better – especially for those using a tighter product.
3. Sensitivity
Depending on your skin’s sensitivity or allergies, some lubes might not work. Mostly, water-based lubes work fine with very little probability of skin reaction. However, some contain ingredients like glycerin that might react with your skin.
If your skin reacts to certain ingredients, we recommend a lube that doesn’t contain the specific ingredient or additive. For glycerin, for instance, some lube uses cellulose as a substitute, while others use plant-sourced glycerin, which is not as reactionary.
Pro Tip: If you’re unsure how your penis will react to the lube, smear a little on your arm and wait to see if there’s a reaction.
4. Ingredients
Like stressed under skin sensitivity, your skin might react differently to certain ingredients. So, always go through the ingredients list before buying the lube.
Paraben, for instance, is used widely in the cosmetics industry to inhibit bacterial growth. However, it shouldn’t be anywhere near your lube. Phenoxyethanol, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, and Chlorhexidine are others you should avoid.
You can find a complete list of harmful ingredients here.
Pro Tip: I don’t recommend using natural oil-based products like coconut oil. From experience, those will be difficult to remove, plus they leave an oily film on the sleeve.
5. Brand Name
While the specific lube brand you buy from doesn’t necessarily determine the quality, we recommend buying from trustworthy brands. Of course, you might have to cough a few more dollars. But lube isn’t something to experiment with. Go for brands that have a track record of excellence.
You don’t have to worry about that, though. The lube brands we’ve highlighted in the reviews are reputable.
6. Aftercare
Everyone wants a simple clean-up routine after using their Fleshlight toys. So, go for water-based with easy-to-clean lube formulas.
How to Use Lube with Your Fleshlight?
Using lube with your Fleshlight is straightforward if you use these steps:
- Open the bottle and gently squeeze it to dispense the liquid into the canal.
- Hold your favorite Fleshlight upright so the lube can reach the bottom.
- You might have to push gel lubes with your fingers for even distribution.
- Once you’ve lubed the sleeve, smear a few drops on your penis and spread it evenly with your finger.
The amount of lube to use is mainly dependent on personal preference. We recommend applying a small amount and re-applying as needed. After all, too much lube kills the friction, thus resulting in less stimulation. Remember, the secret is having enough friction to enhance stimulation without causing penile injury.
You can judge how well-lubricated the sleeve material is with the first few thrusts. Just insert your penis and stroke once or twice. If you need more lube, add a few drops and continue thrusting until satisfied.
Pro Tip: Textured products might require more lube as all the crevices and bumps have to get lubed up.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning your Fleshlight doesn’t have to be complicated. Just ensure you clean before the first use and after every use.
Cleaning your Fleshlight immediately after use especially makes the process much easier and ensures the sex toy is always ready when you are. So:
- Remove the sleeve from the case and run water through the canal.
- Use a sex toy cleaner or mild soap and water mix to clean the inside and outside of the sleeve.
- Rinse the sleeve with clean water before air drying it in a well-ventilated area. You can also use the Fleshlight Air for a quick and efficient drying experience.
- Wipe the case with a damp, clean cloth and dry it.
- Once they’re both clean and dry, put the sleeve back in the case, screw both end caps, and store them in a clean, cool, and dry place.
