Buying lubricant should be simple, but choosing between water-based, hybrid, flavoured and fragrance-free formulas can quickly become confusing. The right option depends less on the brand name and more on what you plan to use it with, whether that is condoms, vibrators, masturbators, couples toys or other sexual-wellness products.
Bottle size, formula, toy compatibility and how often you use lubricant can matter just as much as price. Options range from affordable everyday lubes such as Skore to larger or more specialised formulas from System JO, EasyGlide, Sauce and Lovense.
What Should You Look for in a Lubricant?
There is no single lubricant that is automatically best for everyone. A better choice depends on how you plan to use it.
If you want something simple for condoms and general toy use, a water-based lubricant is usually the easiest starting point. If you use lubricant frequently, bottle size becomes more important. Longer sessions may benefit from a hybrid formula, while people who dislike flavours or fragrance may prefer a neutral option.
For flavoured play, products such as Skore Flavored Lubricant and JO Candy Shop Flavored Lubricant provide different price points and flavour choices.
Popular Lubricants Compared by Use
Skore, System JO, EasyGlide, Sauce and Lovense serve somewhat different use cases. Instead of treating one brand as universally better, it is more useful to compare their formulas, sizes and intended use.

Which Lubricant Is Best for Sex Toys?
If you own several different toys, a water-based lubricant is usually the easiest general-purpose starting point because it works with many commonly used toy materials. The toy manufacturer's instructions should still take priority.
For Vibrators and Silicone Toys
A straightforward water-based option such as JO H2O Original or EasyGlide Water Based Lubricant makes sense if you want something you can use across different toys. Both are listed as toy- and condom-compatible.
EasyGlide comes in a 150 ml bottle and is colorless, odorless and neutral in taste, which can make it more practical for people who use lubricant regularly rather than occasionally.
For occasional use or shoppers who want a lower-cost flavoured option, Skore provides a smaller 50 ml water-based alternative.
For Lovense Toys
If you already use a Lovense Lush, Max, Nora or another Lovense toy, the Lovense Water-Based Lubricant is the most direct brand pairing.
It is water-based and listed as compatible with silicone toys and latex condoms. It is also fragrance-free, color-free and alcohol-free.
At ₹2,999, it is a premium option that makes more sense for people who already use Lovense toys and want extra lubrication for longer sessions, where a more durable, comfortable formula can be more useful than a basic low-cost lubricant.
For Masturbators and Fleshlights
Masturbators usually require more lubricant than small vibrators, so bottle size starts to matter more.
The Sauce Jumbo Lube Bottle comes in a 150 ml size and is positioned as a companion for Sauce masturbators. It is water-based, toy- and condom-friendly, and available in Original, Slippery & Light, Icy & Cool and Wet & Warm variants.
A larger bottle can be more practical for repeated masturbator use than repeatedly purchasing small 50 ml bottles.
What About Flavoured Lubricants?
Flavoured lubricants are aimed more at oral and partnered play than shoppers simply looking for a neutral everyday formula.
The Skore Flavored Lubricant currently comes in Cherry and Strawberry flavours and costs ₹290, making it one of the more accessible ways to try a flavoured lubricant.
The JO Candy Shop Flavored Lubricant offers Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy and Butterscotch flavours. It is water-based, designed for oral use and listed as compatible with most toys and condoms.
The practical difference is mainly price, flavour selection and how important flavoured play is to you. Someone experimenting for the first time may not need to spend heavily, while someone specifically looking for more flavour choices may prefer a specialised product.
Using Lubricant with Condoms
Water-based lubricants are one of the simplest choices to pair with latex condoms because they can reduce friction without the latex-damaging concerns associated with oil-based products.
When choosing a lubricant, check that the product is listed as condom-compatible rather than assuming every formula can be used with latex condoms.
Start with a small amount and add more if friction returns. More lubricant is not automatically better, and the amount needed depends on the activity and product being used.
Why Buying Lube Together with Your Toy Makes Sense
Lubricant is often treated as something to buy after the toy arrives. That can be inconvenient, especially with masturbators, penetrative toys and couples toys where lubrication may make a significant difference to comfort and use.
If you are already ordering a vibrator, Fleshlight, Lovense toy, dildo, couples toy or condoms from IMbesharam, adding lubricant to the same cart means the products can be packed and delivered as part of the same order.
It also makes compatibility easier to consider before checkout. This is one of the stronger reasons to buy lubricant from a specialist sexual-wellness store. The value is not necessarily finding the cheapest individual bottle. It is being able to choose the toy, lubricant, condoms and accessories as one complete setup.
How to Choose the Right Lube for Your Setup
For a first lubricant: start with a straightforward water-based formula. A lower-cost option may be sufficient while you learn how often and how much lubricant you actually use.
For vibrators and general toy use: consider JO H2O, EasyGlide or another water-based product and check the toy's care instructions.
For frequent masturbator use: a larger bottle such as Sauce Jumbo or EasyGlide may be more practical than repeatedly buying smaller bottles.
For Lovense toys: Lovense Water-Based Lubricant provides the most direct brand-to-toy pairing.
For longer sessions: a hybrid formula such as JO Hybrid may offer more staying power, but check compatibility before using silicone-containing formulas with silicone toys.
For flavoured or oral play: compare lower-cost flavoured options such as Skore with more specialised choices such as JO Candy Shop.
Should You Buy Lubricant from IMbesharam?
If you are buying only one inexpensive bottle of lubricant, your decision may simply come down to price and availability. IMbesharam becomes more useful when lubricant is part of a wider sexual-wellness purchase.
The IMbesharam lubrication collection currently includes products from Skore, System JO, EasyGlide, Sauce and Lovense, covering water-based, hybrid, silicone, flavoured, warming and cooling options.
This gives shoppers the ability to compare different formulas while also considering the vibrator, masturbator, condom or couples toy they plan to use with them.
That makes the purchase less about deciding which lubricant brand is universally best and more about choosing a product that fits the rest of your setup.
