Besides natural biological lubricants (e.g., human secretions like sweat or saliva), there are various artificial lubricants on the market. Artificial lubricants are available based on silicone, water, or oil. These lubricants were originally designed for use on human skin and cannot all be used on a sex doll.
Why do I need lubricant?
A lubricant serves as an addition to make sexual intercourse with a sex toy or sex doll more attractive and enjoyable. Without lubricant, using a sex doll or sex toy is rough and unpleasant.
Which lubricant is best?
Which lubricant is best depends on the context—what will you use the lubricant for? What are your preferences? Are you possibly allergic to any ingredients, and what price are you willing to pay?
The best lubricant mainly depends on the application and personal preferences or wishes, with quality and ingredients always needing to be good.
The application
What will you use the lubricant for? Depending on the application, you can already exclude some types of lubricants.
- Use water-based lubricant if you need a lubricant for sexual intercourse with a sex toy, sex doll, or another person.
- Use silicone-based lubricant if you need a long-lasting lubricant for another person. Note that not every body tolerates silicone equally well. Water-based lubricant is always the safest.
- Use oil-based lubricant if you might want to give a massage to another person. Oil-based lubricants are unsuitable for sex toys and sex dolls.
Oil- or silicone-based lubricants are made for human use. Water-based lubricant is always safe and suitable for all kinds of applications.
The only advantage silicone- or oil-based lubricants have over water-based ones is that they last longer and dry out less quickly.
Silicone- and oil-based lubricants can also cause stains more easily, so consider using a latex sex sheet to keep your furniture and bed stain-free.
The ingredients
Just like with food, we find it important to know what comes into contact with your body. Your skin is also an organ, and you don’t want to burden it with hard-to-tolerate ingredients or harmful substances.
Therefore, choose a lubricant with as few additives as possible, one that consists of few ingredients, preferably all recognizable to you. Go for pure nature, choose simple ingredients so you know what your body is exposed to.
Our lubricant is made from four ingredients: Water, Aloe Vera, a thickening agent, and a preservative due to contact with human skin. As few ingredients as possible and no fancy additives for color, flavor, or fragrance.
Personal wishes or preferences
Some people enjoy lubricants with a scent, flavor, or certain properties like "delaying" or "numbing."
All these features make lubricants more complicated, less natural, and also more harmful than necessary.
Lubricants that delay orgasm or increase sensitivity contain unnecessary ingredients that can affect your body’s natural functioning.
Instead of using products to delay your orgasm, you can also train your orgasm. That is more sustainable, healthier, and cheaper.
So adjust preferences and reduce them to a minimum where possible so you can go for pure nature.
The quality
The quality of lubricant goes hand in hand with the section about ingredients; make sure the substances used in the liquid are as natural and unprocessed as possible. Water and unprocessed aloe vera are examples of natural ingredients. This way, you enjoy a natural product without side effects or risks to your body.
Frequently asked questions about lubricant
Can I use natural lubricants?
Of course, you can use your own body’s secretions (saliva) to lubricate the surface of silicone & TPE sex dolls. Unfortunately, your saliva amount is limited and can produce an unpleasant odor due to bacteria in your mouth. A better alternative is coconut oil or aloe vera, although we do not recommend coconut oil in combination with sex dolls.
What about water-based lubricants?
Water-based lubricants are by far the best solution. Their many advantages include high efficiency and ease of cleaning. An eco-friendly, hypoallergenic water-based lubricant has a non-sticky, non-greasy texture ideal for use on adult sex dolls made of silicone and TPE. Water-based lubricants also protect the user from stains.
Can silicone lubricant be used for sex with sex dolls?
It is important to emphasize that it is harmful to use silicone lubricants on silicone and TPE sex dolls. Silicone lubricant will irreversibly damage the skin material of the sex dolls.
Is oil-based lubricant suitable for sex dolls?
Oil-based lubricants are not recommended here. Besides the fact that the surface of your life-sized doll’s skin becomes too slippery and damaged, oil-based lubricants are also very difficult to clean. This will always leave your sex doll with a greasy skin.
