Warming & Cooling Lubes

Warming and cooling lubes are two separate lube types creating an intense warm or cooling effect. Both the warmth and cold assault your senses with every touch. 

Warming lube, in particular, can cause the blood to rush in, making you more sensitive. Meanwhile, cooling lubes have this tingly effect causing shivers to run through your body.

Are warming and cooling lubes safe to use?

Warming and cooling lubes are safe as long as they don’t have glycerin, paraben, or propylene glycol. These are ingredients capable of causing skin allergies and infections.

Can warming and cooling lubes be used with condoms?

As long as the warming and cooling lubes are water-based or silicone-based, they can be used with a condom. But if they’re oil-based, you can only use them with non-latex condoms like the Lifestyles SKYN.

What’s the difference between water-based and silicone-based lubes?

Water-based lubes are non sticky, thin in consistency, and quick to wash off. Silicone-based lubes are thick, sticky, and long-lasting.

What causes the warming or cooling sensation?

Specific ingredients capable of warming or cooling the lube texture are added to cause the sensations. For example, menthol can cause a cold feeling while capsaicin derived from chilly peppers can heat up the lube.

Tips for Choosing Warming & Cooling Lubes

  • Sensitivity Level: Try to touch lukewarm water and cold water separately. Note which one your body reacts to more. If you’re extra sensitive to warmth, you might want to go for cooling lube and vice versa. 
  • Toy Compatibility: If you have lots of silicone toys, you want water-based lube, whether warming or cooling. Similarly, if you have TPE toys, you might enjoy warming lube as it makes for an intense realistic combination. 

Ingredients: Make sure your warming and cooling lubes don’t have glycol, glycerin, or paraben in them. You especially don’t want these ingredients if you have sensitive skin.
