Lube 101
Choosing the Right Lubricant for Your Body
Let’s talk about lubrication.
Whether you’re using a dilator, having partnered sex, or simply supporting your body through changes like menopause, the right lube can make all the difference.
At MSH, we stock only medical-grade, body-safe lubricants that are recommended by our team of sexual health professionals.
Silicone-Based Lubricants
Best for: Penetrative sex, menopause-related dryness, long-lasting glidE
Silicone lubes are:
- Ultra-slick and long-lasting
- Not absorbed by the body (so you need less)
- Perfect for reducing friction and discomfort during intercourse
Recommended if you’re:
- Transitioning from dilation to sex
- Experiencing vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Wanting something that lasts longer without reapplying
Important:
Silicone lubes should not be used with silicone dilators or toys, as they can damage the surface over time.
Our Clinical Team recommends Pjur Woman Silicone Lubricant as the go-to for patients seeking comfort, luxury, and long-lasting glide. Specially developed for women’s sensitive skin, it’s a softer, silkier version of the original Pjur formula - and once you experience it, you’ll never settle for anything less.
Water-Based Lubricants
Best for: Daily dilation, pelvic physio use, and internal exams
Water-based lubricants are:
- Safe to use with MSH Silicone Dilators
- Non-staining and easy to clean
- Great for internal use and compatibility with condoms or medical tools
Recommended if you’re:
- Just beginning your dilation journey
- Seeing a pelvic floor physiotherapist
- Using silicone or wearable stub dilators
- Using silicone sex toys or vibrators
When our team recommends a water-based lube, we always reach for Pjur Woman Nude - the cleanest formula we’ve found, especially for sensitive skin.
This ultra-pure lube was created for women who want less of the unnecessary stuff and more of what truly matters. No parabens. No glycerine. No preservatives. No added sugars. Just silky, conscious lubrication that supports your body’s natural balance - without feeding unwanted bacteria or disrupting your vaginal microbiome.
Vaginal & Vulva Moisturisers
Best for: Daily hydration, relief from dryness or irritation
Why Use a Vaginal or Vulva Moisturiser?
Unlike sexual lubricants, which are designed to reduce friction during intimacy,
these intimate moisturisers are created to:
- Replenish internal hydration
- Reduce burning, itching, and tightness
- Improve tissue elasticity
- Enhance comfort throughout the day, not just during sex
- 26% of women over 50 and 12% of women under 40 report recurring vaginal dryness, and most are never told that a vaginal moisturiser could help.
You don’t have to wait until it’s unbearable. You can feel good now.
Hydra-V is hormone-free, odourless, and packed with active ingredients that support the integrity and elasticity of the vaginal lining. Its key ingredient, Sodium Hyaluronate, acts like a moisture magnet, helping to retain water in the tissue and reduce inflammation. Vitamin A and E support local repair and tissue regeneration.
Anal Lubricants
Best for: more comfortable anal sex or internal plaY
Why anal-specific lubricants matter:
The anus doesn't self-lubricate - which means choosing the right lube is essential. Whether you’re using a medical dilator or exploring intimacy, anal lubricants are designed to provide long-lasting glide, reduce friction, and protect delicate tissue from tearing or irritation.
Recommended if you’re:
- Seeking a safer, more comfortable experience with anal play
- Experiencing tightness, fear, or pain with penetration
- Working with a pelvic floor physiotherapist
CBD Products
Best for: Relaxation, heightened sensation, reducing pelvic pain or tension
Why choose CBD-infused lubes?
CBD isn’t just a trendy additive - it’s backed by supportive evidence for intimate use.
- Promotes relaxation & reduces muscle tension
- Boosts blood flow & arousal
- Supports pelvic pain & vaginismus relief
- Safe and low-risk
Recommended if you’re:
- Managing pelvic floor tension or therapy
- Needing tension relief during anal or vaginal dilation
- Experiencing pain, anxiety, or low sensation during intimacy
- After soothing massage or arousal support
Please note: Oil-based lubes (like CBD oil formulas) should not be used with latex condoms or barriers, as they can quickly degrade latex and increase the risk of breakage - compromising protection .
Not Sure Which to Choose?
If you’re using a dilator → stick to water-based
If you’re using a silicone toy → stick to water-based
If you’re engaging in foreplay → opt for silicone-based
If you’re having penetrative sex → choose silicone-based
You can have both on hand for different needs!
