Playboy Slick H2O is a straightforward water-based lubricant from Playboy Pleasure, made by Evolved Novelties, in a 4 oz bottle. It's labelled for vaginal, anal and penile use, it works with latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms, and its ingredient list is short: six items, starting with water. If you want one everyday personal lubricant that fits most situations, this is a sensible place to start.

What's in it

The full ingredient list reads: water, propanediol, gluconolactone, hydroxyethylcellulose, sodium benzoate and citric acid. Propanediol helps the formula hold moisture, hydroxyethylcellulose gives it body so it stays where you put it, and sodium benzoate with gluconolactone keep it fresh once opened. Citric acid adjusts the balance of the formula. There's no glycerin, no parabens, no flavour and no added fragrance in that list, which keeps it simple if you prefer fewer ingredients.

How to use a water-based lubricant

Apply as much as feels right to your body, your partner or your toy, and add more whenever things start to feel less slick. Water-based lubricants absorb and evaporate gradually, so reapplying is normal, especially during longer sessions. A small splash of water or a little saliva can revive it for a few moments, but a fresh dab works better. For anal play, use more than you think you need and top up often, since the body doesn't produce its own lubrication there.

For solo play with a stroker or sleeve, put a little on the toy's opening and a little on yourself rather than a big pour in one place; it spreads more evenly. With a vibrator, a thin layer on the tip is usually enough to start. The bottle is easy to keep on a bedside table, and a 4 oz size lasts a good while for regular use.

Condoms and toys

Evolved lists Slick H2O as compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms, so it suits the full range of common condom types. Water-based lube is also the usual choice for silicone toys, because it won't interact with silicone the way some silicone lubes can. It works with glass, stainless steel, ABS plastic and stone toys too. Keep in mind it isn't a contraceptive and contains no spermicide.

Water-based or silicone?

Choose this one if you want easy clean-up, toy compatibility and a feel that doesn't linger after you're done. It washes off skin, sheets and toys with plain water. A silicone lube lasts longer and holds up in the shower, but it can be harder to wash off and may not suit silicone toys. If you're still deciding, our guide to lube for sex toys walks through the options.

Storage and safety

Store it at room temperature, between about 5 and 30 °C, and close the cap after each use. If you notice irritation, stop using it and check with a doctor. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Afterwards, clean your toys with water or a toy cleaner such as Playboy Clean Foaming Toy Cleaner.

Helpful Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about Playboy Slick H2O Water-Based Lubricant – 4 oz.

Is Playboy Slick H2O safe to use with condoms?

Yes. Evolved lists it as compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms. Being water-based, it won't weaken latex the way oil-based products can.

Can I use this lube with silicone toys?

Yes. Water-based lube is the standard pairing for silicone toys because it doesn't react with the material. Wash the toy afterwards with water or a toy cleaner so no residue is left on the surface.

Does Slick H2O contain glycerin?

No glycerin appears in the ingredient list, which is water, propanediol, gluconolactone, hydroxyethylcellulose, sodium benzoate and citric acid. People who avoid glycerin-based lubes often look for formulas like this one.

Is it good for anal sex?

It's labelled for anal use. Water-based lube can absorb faster during anal play, so apply generously and reapply often. If you want something thicker or longer-lasting, look through our anal lubes.

Why does water-based lube get sticky?

As the water evaporates, the remaining ingredients can feel tacky. Adding a little more lube, or a few drops of water, usually brings back the glide. Starting with enough lube also helps.

Does it have a taste or smell?

The ingredient list has no flavouring or fragrance, so it isn't a flavoured lube. If you want one made for oral play, choose a lube sold as flavoured instead.

Can I use it in the shower?

You can, but water rinses water-based lube away quickly, so you'll need to reapply often. For extended shower or bath play, a silicone lube holds up better, as long as it's compatible with any toys you're using.
