Lube, Condoms and Everyday Essentials

The essentials are the products that make everything else work better. This category brings together 109 everyday items: personal lubricants, condoms, sex toy cleaners, batteries and practical extras such as waterproof bed sheets.

Our lubricant range covers every base. Water-based lubes from Sliquid, YES and Lubido are the all-rounders: safe with condoms and every toy material, and easy to wash off. Silicone lubes, such as Sliquid Silver, last much longer and stay slippery in the shower, but are not always suitable for silicone toys. Hybrid lubes sit in between, and organic or plant-based options suit people who prefer short ingredient lists. If you are unsure, our guide to water-based versus silicone lube explains the differences in plain English.

Glyde vegan condoms come in standard, slimfit, maxi and flavoured versions, in 10-packs and 100-packs. They are a reliable barrier against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections when used correctly; the NHS has a clear guide to using condoms properly.

Finish with a toy cleaner such as Loving Joy Cleanse to keep your collection hygienic between uses, plus AA and AAA batteries so nothing runs out at the wrong moment.
