So, in case you haven't heard, CBD oil is having ~a moment.~ You can find CBD-infused gummies, drinks, and other goodies to help relieve everything from anxiety to chronic pain to inflammation, and you can even get CBD lube to amp up your sex life. CBD, which stands for cannabidiol, is a chemical found in marijuana plants, but fear not—since it lacks the psychoactive properties of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), it can't get you high. However, the best CBD lubes *can* increase blood flow to tissues, which means better, wetter, less painful sex for you. Yes to that!!
Since CBD is thought to help with inflammation without affecting consciousness, this can be an especially helpful way for people with vulvas to have more pleasurable sex. As ob/gyn Dr. Kecia Gaither tells Cosmo, "CBD lubes can promote vaginal relaxation, increase sensitivity, and decrease pain and anxiety, particularly from patients who suffer from dyspareunia." And in addition to easing vaginal pain and irritation during penetration, CBD lubes and oils can even lead to increased sensitivity for some, which means more big Os for you.
Our top picks for the best CBD lubes of 2024:
Read on for details on all our fave products, as well as everything you should know about using CBD lube during sex.
Pros
- Made with just two all-natural ingredients
- Really does help enhance arousal, according to reviewers
Cons
- Not the best option for combating dryness
Made with just two ingredients (organically-grown broad-spectrum CBD and organic coconut oil), this best-selling lube is an all-natural way to ease discomfort, enhance arousal, and assist with both vaginal and anal penetration. It's also such a good value, considering most CBD lubes come in smaller volumes—and if you <3 this stuff, you should check out Foria's Awaken Arousal Oil as well.
- Type: Oil-based
- Size: 3.8 fl oz
- Potency: 400mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with polyurethane condoms, but not latex or polyisoprene condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "I’ve dealt with vaginismus as well as endometriosis, and let me tell you, this lube has forever changed my life. I’ve tried just about every lube on the market and this stuff takes the cake. I felt warm and soothed throughout my entire abdomen even half an hour after. I have NEVER opened up this much before down there during sex—this is an amazing, relaxing lube."
Pros
- Contains a small, beginner-friendly dose of CBD
- Non-sticky for easy cleanup
Cons
- Tends to dry up quickly, per some testers
As sex and relationship therapist Tatyana Dyachenko tells Cosmo, "Generally, if you're new to CBD, it is recommended to opt for lower CBD content." That's why she loves Kush Queen's formula, which has a lower dose than most other CBD lubes. It's also notable because—unlike most CBD lubes—it's water-based, meaning you can use it with all condoms and toys (plus, it won't stain your sheets!).
- Type: Water-based
- Size: 1 fl oz
- Potency: 30mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "I have tried a lot of water-based lubricants. This is as close to the real thing as I’ve found, and it does enhance sensation slightly. It isn’t sticky or smelly and does not stain. Will never buy another lube, frankly. Love this so much."
GoLove Intimate CBD Serum
Pros
- Folks with sensitive skin approve of this one
- Includes hyaluronic acid to leave ya feeling hydrated
Cons
- Pricier than other options
A great water-based CBD lube option is this anti-inflammatory formula from GoLove. Hypoallergenic, pH-balanced, and moisturizing (thanks to the hyaluronic acid), this serum will get things nice and slippery, and you'll love that it's thicker than traditional water-based lubes thanks to the inclusion of hydroxyethylcellulose, a plant-based thickening agent.
- Type: Water-based
- Size: 1.3 fl oz
- Potency: 200mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "With this product, I no longer have pain or dryness during sexual activity! I love that a little goes a long way, so while the bottle is small, you only need a little bit and it lasts a long time! You will also notice a slight tingling effect… This just enhances your experience! I love it and will DEFINITELY be purchasing it again!"
Pros
- So versatile thanks to clean, simple formula
- Texture is increeedibly smooth
Cons
- Not as moisturizing as other options
This all-natural formula really is as clean as can be, made only with organically grown, full-spectrum CBD and organic coconut oil. It's third-party tested for purity and free from pesticides, alcohol, artificial flavors, and gluten, and in addition to using it as a long-lasting lube, you can even apply it as a daily moisturizer all over your body—including your most intimate areas, ofc.
- Type: Oil-based
- Size: 1.7 fl oz
- Potency: 200mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with polyurethane condoms, but not latex or polyisoprene condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "Having tried a number of CBD-based intimacy products I had no specific expectations going in. But what stood out the most is just how subtle the pleasure experience was—and then ohhhh myyyy goddess, KAPOW!! I didn't see that one cumming!!!! Cheers to a product that produces level-10 orgasms!!!
Pros
- Designed to be vulva- and sensitive skin-friendly
- Pretty affordable compared to other CBD lubes
Cons
- Not as long-lasting as some would like
Why I love Quanna's Oomf CBD Lube: It's gynecologist-approved, it's pH-balanced, and it's enriched with prebiotics for keeping your vagina happy. Since it's water-based, this one is also compatible with all condoms, and it contains a beginner-friendly 50 milligrams of CBD—all for only $35 a bottle (which is a pretty good deal, tbh).
- Type: Water-based
- Size: 1.7 fl oz
- Potency: 50mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "Great stuff. Doesn't leave stains, not sticky, irritating or unpleasant in any other way, and helped me to orgasm again pretty quickly after I had real problems for ages. Yay!"
Pros
- Made with natural oils for softening and opening the tissues
- Smell is subtle but sooo nice
Cons
- Spray formula isn't for everyone
Designed specifically with anal play in mind (though it's also 100 percent safe for vaginas), this lube works to soften and relax the tissue with silky lubrication, reducing unwanted friction and preventing inflammation during anal sex. It's safe to ingest orally and use with silicone toys, and since it comes in the form of a spray, a little will go a long way.
- Type: Oil-based
- Size: 1 fl oz
- Potency: 200mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with polyurethane condoms, but not latex or polyisoprene condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "I’ve tried many intimate oils before this one, but this is by far the most enjoyable to use. This intimate oil tastes great, feels exceptionally good for both me and my partner, and can really go the distance. As someone who is sensitive to many different types of chemicals and additives, this intimate oil is perfect for me due to the natural ingredients."
Pros
- Very gentle, thanks to minimalist formula
- Made with just 10 milligrams of broad-spectrum CBD
Cons
- May require additional lube, since it's more of a pre-lube
Anyone who's nervous about using CBD oil on your ~intimate areas~ should give this v minimalist formula a whirl. It's made with just organic coconut oil and 10 milligrams of organic hemp-derived CBD extract, and since it comes with a dropper, you can simply apply a drop, allow time for absorption, and then decide if you need to add a lil more.
- Type: Oil-based
- Size: 1 fl oz
- Potency: 10mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with polyurethane condoms, but not latex or polyisoprene condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "Amazing product! This oil has taken our intimacy to a new level of pleasure. We will never be without it!"
Pros
- Incredibly moisturizing while still lightweight
- Great for both external and internal use
Cons
- Not as lubricating as some would like
A two-in-one body oil that doubles as lube, this hemp-infused formula from Coconu is seriously versatile. With its coconut oil base, this body oil can be used to ease tension, increase sensation, and moisturize your most intimate areas, all in one silky, lightweight formula.
- Type: Oil-based
- Size: 3 fl oz
- Potency: Not listed
- Condom-safe? Compatible with polyurethane condoms, but not latex or polyisoprene condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "I used this a lot on my hands to help with dryness and on the body when my partner and I give back rubs. It worked pretty good on those areas, but WOW, during sexy time, this works really really well. I absolutely felt so much more sensation than I ever have with this."
Pros
- Contains over 400 sprays per bottle
- Such a great option for travel
Cons
- Can be difficult to refill, per reviewers
For something a lil different, give this super-luxe, oil-based spray lubricant from Glissant a try. Every one-ounce bottle contains just 100 milligrams of CBD infused with CBG, but it's positively packed with friction-relieving ingredients, including grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, and shea butter, among others. You can use it for vaginal or oral application (yep, it's totally safe for consumption), and as a bonus, it's travel-friendly.
- Type: Oil-based
- Size: 1 fl oz
- Potency: 100mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with polyurethane condoms, but not latex or polyisoprene condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "Having endometriosis-related pain during intercourse has been an ongoing problem for me, but this CBD product in particular has changed that completely and I am so grateful. And the packaging is so classy!"
Pros
- Sensation kicks in fast and really lasts
- Pretty long-lasting for a water-based lube, according to reviews
Cons
- May irritate those with very sensitive skin
If you're never used a warming lube, now's the time to give one a try. This water-based formula provides both heating *and* cooling sensations with the help of arginine and menthol—not to mention it's packed with 250 milligrams of full-spectrum CBD for increasing blood flow and really kicking things up a notch.
- Type: Water-based
- Size: 2 fl oz
- Potency: 250mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "This lubricant is wonderful! Allows for one O after another after another. I recommend it every chance I get."
Pros
- Uses chamomile to calm sensitive skin
- Natural aphrodisiacs help heighten arousal
Cons
- Some wish it contained a higher dose of CBD for the price
What happens when you combine full-spectrum CBD with soothing chamomile and natural aphrodisiacs (such as horny goat weed, ginseng, and rose)? You get this gentle yet powerful formula, which helps to heighten sensation and intensity desire without any trippy psychoactive effects.
- Type: Oil-based
- Size: 1 fl oz
- Potency: 30mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with polyurethane condoms, but not latex or polyisoprene condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "As someone who has experienced pain with sex, this makes everything so much more enjoyable. Best texture. Heightened sensations. Amazingness all around."
Pros
- Testers say it's long-lasting without getting tacky
- Great price for the potency
Cons
- Newer product, so not as well reviewed as others
Founded by Real Housewives alum Kandi Burruss, Bedroom Kandi offers tons of high-quality sex goodies...and this doctor-formulated, CBD-infused lubricant is no exception. Though water-based, this formula includes hydroxyethylcellulose for extra viscosity, so it'll last as long as ya need it to and clean up easily when you're done.
- Type: Water-based
- Size: 1.35 fl oz
- Potency: 100mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "Absolutely LOVE this! This is the best lubricant my husband and I have used! We both love this lubricant and have really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely worth the buy! Also a little goes a long way so you’ll have the bottle for a while!"
Pros
- Uses herbs to naturally increase libido
- Water-based, which is rarer for an arousal serum
Cons
- Doesn't provide a ton of lubrication
Okay, now THIS one is unique. Reviewers love how Bloomi's natural stimulating serum is made with a mix of botanical aphrodisiacs to help gently boost pleasure, including ginseng extract, ashwagandha extract, shatavari extract, and—of course—organic, broad-spectrum hemp extract. It's designed to use solo or with a lube, and while it's not the slickest option, it can really help to increase blood flow and awaken sensitive nerve endings.
- Type: Water-based
- Size: 1.69 fl oz
- Potency: Not listed
- Condom-safe? Compatible with latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "I bought this because [I'm] on a high daily dose of Prozac. It actually works. Used it twice solo so far and probably will become a staple for me. Nice, luxurious-feeling serum. Brings blood flow to that region of the body. I’m impressed."
Pros
- Works to penetrate deep and improve orgasms
- Lasts up to two (!!) hours
Cons
- Requires at least 15 minutes to take effect
If you experience vaginal dryness, this CBD serum is seriously a MUST. Developed by the lead experts behind Viagra and Cialis, this first-of-its-kind pleasure gel is formulated with liposomes, which means the CBD is enclosed in protective lil bubbles that can penetrate deeper into your vaginal and clitoral muscles. The result: more frequent and more intense orgasms for you. No wonder so many reviewers call it a game-changer!!
- Type: Water-based
- Size: 1.7 fl oz
- Potency: 320mg CBD
- Condom-safe? Compatible with latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms
Glowing Customer Review: "I have tried a few CBD lube products. I never found them to make much difference, at least not that I could notice. Vella, on the other hand, seems to increase sensation for me, making it easier and quicker to become aroused and to climax. I had little hope that this product would make a real difference, but it DOES."
What are the benefits of CBD lube?
While you may be a bit wary about CBD lubes (especially if you have sensitive skin), CBD-infused lubes are totally safe, and splurging for a lubricant that includes CBD may just be the move. With CBD lubricants, you can potentially experience increased vaginal relaxation, increased sensitivity, and decreased pain and anxiety—which is good news if you're someone who suffers from vaginismus, vaginitis, PCOS, or vaginal tearing from birth.
Oh, and btw: CBD lube is not just for vulva-owners, either. For penis owners, CBD lubricants "can help reduce sexual performance anxiety, which can cause erectile dysfunction," as psychotherapist and sex therapist Dr. Lee Phillips previously told Cosmo. Less anxiety, less pain, and a lot more pleasure—what's not to love??
What type of CBD lube is best to use?
Most CBD lubes are either water- or oil-based, and the type you choose all comes down to personal preference. The best all-purpose lubricant is water-based, which is the only one that's safe to use with condoms and sex toys, as well as the easiest to clean up afterward. However, water-based CBD lube can also be quicker to dry out than oil-based CBD lube, so just keep that in mind.
How to choose the best CBD lube
The CBD lube you choose depends on a few factors—the biggest being just how much sensation you're hoping to feel. A few things to keep in mind as you shop:
Pick a reputable brand
Look for lubes from reputable companies with CBD testing lab results from independent testing bodies, suggests Peaches and Screams sex expert Tatyana Dyachenko. Your body deserves only the best, bb, and just like with all pleasure products, you don't want to put anything you can't trust near your most intimate areas.
Check out the CBD content
You'll also wanna pay attention to the CBD content in the lube. If you're new to CBD, it's best to stick with a lower CBD content (which is usually denoted in milligrams). After that, the CBD strength you'll need will depend on your condition. If you are one of the many people who suffer from pain during intercourse and it's been cleared by a doctor that it isn't a serious condition worth further investigation, then a higher CBD content might be of more use to you.
Skip the unnecessary chemicals
If you intend to use CBD lube on your vulva, then it's best to avoid products with perfumes or scents, as these can serve as irritants. Your intimate areas are *very* good at absorbing stuff, so you don't want any unnecessary chemicals, like alcohol, flavorings, and artificial dyes, which can lead to increases in vaginitis or dermatitis. Alcohol, flavorings, or perfumes can also alter the vaginal microbiome and increase the risk of vaginal infections, and trust us—you don't want to deal with that.
