Is it generally recommended to use lube when using sex toys?

For most people, using lube with sex toys makes it even more pleasurable. If you’re moist enough, you don’t need to use lube, but feel free to try it out – most people find that lube enhances the sensation. When it comes to anal sex toys, we recommend always using lubricant, because the anus has no natural lubrication.

NB! See below which type of lubricant is suitable for the different sex toys (depending on the material they’re made of).
