Swiss Navy

Swiss Navy keeps things simple: a small number of lube formulas, sold in almost every size you could want. The same water-based lube comes as a 10 ml single-use packet, a 1 oz travel bottle, every step up to 32 oz, and a 1-gallon jug, which makes it easy to try a formula cheaply and then buy it in bulk once you know you like it. There's even a fishbowl of 100 packets for events or gift bags.

Which formula?

Premium Water-Based is the everyday choice. It's safe with condoms and with every toy material, and it washes off with water. If it starts to feel tacky, a few drops of water bring it back rather than needing more lube.

Premium Silicone lasts much longer and doesn't wash away in the shower. It's sold from 1 oz up to a gallon. The trade-off is toys: silicone lube can damage some silicone toys, so test it on a small hidden spot first, or switch to water-based for your silicone collection.

Anal formulas come in Premium Anal Lube (2 to 16 oz), a 1 oz Premium Anal Silicone and Anal Jelly, a thicker gel in 2 and 5 oz tubes. For anal play, thicker and longer-lasting is usually better; see anal lubes to compare with other brands.

4-in-1 Playful Flavours are the fun end of the range: watermelon, wild cherry, chocolate, cotton candy, salted caramel, passion fruit and strawberry kiwi in 4 oz bottles, plus a 1 oz assorted pack if you can't decide. These are made for oral play; more options are in flavoured lubes.

Cleaning up

Swiss Navy also makes a Toy & Body Cleaner in 1 and 6 oz sprays and a foaming version in 1.6 and 7 oz. Use it on toys after every session, and give them a rinse before putting them away. The range also includes Viva Cream and Max Size Cream, two topical creams sold in small tubes.

Comparing brands? Wet and System JO have wider flavour and sensation ranges, pjur and ID are close equivalents for water-based and silicone, and Sliquid is the pick for glycerin-free formulas. Or browse every water-based and silicone lube we carry.
