With CBD-everything in recent years, it only makes sense that CBD lubes would eventually become A Thing. CBD, which stands for Cannabidiol, is a chemical found in marijuana plants, but lacks the psychoactive properties of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), so CBD doesn’t get you high. While there’s more and more research every day surrounding the CBD craze, researchers believe that CBD can help relieve anxiety, chronic pain, and inflammation.

When it comes to lubes, CBD products tout bennies like helping with pain during intercourse explains Tatyana Dyachenko, sex and relationship therapist at Peaches and Screams. Since CBD is thought to help with inflammation without affecting consciousness, this can be an especially helpful way for women to have more pleasurable sex.
When it comes to buying CBD lubes, look for lubes from reputable companies with CBD testing lab results from independent testing bodies, says Dyachenko. Also pay attention to the CBD content in the lube. “Generally, if you’re new to CBD, it is recommended to opt for lower CBD content (usually denoted in mg.)” Dyachenko says. After that, the CBD strength you’ll need will depend on your condition, Dyachenko explains. If you are one of the many folx who suffers from pain during intercourse and it’s been cleared by a doctor that it isn’t a serious condition worth further investigation, a higher CBD content might be of more use to you. With all that in mind, here are six of the most popular CBD lubes to peruse.
1. Kush Queen
Kush Queen’s formula is notable because it’s water-based, meaning you can use it with all condoms and toys. Many CBD lubes are oil-based, which make them great for solo masturbation sessions with your fingers, but a no-no for condoms and silicone toys as the oil can degrade latex and silicone. This formula contains 30 mg of CBD.
2. Standard Dose Common Bond Lubricant
Standard Dose
This lube is not only affordable as far as CBD lubes go, it also looks chic as heck in an understated minimalist way. It contains 500 mg of CBD per 50 mL bottle. Note, this is not compatible with latex condoms, so if you’re gonna use, go with non-latex condoms, like Skyn. It’s hydrating and fragrance-free as well, so if you’ve got sensitive skin, this is a good bet.
3. Standard Dose Arousal Oil
Standard Dose
Common Bond also has an arousal oil, which contains 500 mg of CBD per 30 mL bottle, and is designed to heighten stimulation during sex. The formula is made with botanicals like sage and lavender and is also fragrance-free. Like their lube, this isn’t safe to use with latex condoms, FYI!
4. Quim Happy Clam Everyday Oil
While not technically a lube, Quim’s popular Happy Clam everyday oil contains 1.5-2 mg of CBD per 3–5 pumps for vulva soothing. You can use it after sex or just as a little nether region beauty routine. This baby is oil-based, so stay away from latex condoms or silicone toys with this! Quim also makes a lube, but it’s currently out of stock on Good Vibrations (but you can check here to see if it’s back yet).
5. CBD Daily Massage Oil
If you’re looking for something with CBD for foreplay that isn’t necessarily lube, there are plenty of CBD massage oils also worth checking out. This mint-scented massage oil contains 100 mg of CBD per 118 mg bottle and contains 0% THC. According to Dyachenko, the maximum THC limit in CBD products is 0.3% THC, so this massage oil is extra-safe if you’re concerned about THC.
6. High On Love
This prettily packaged lube comes with a dropper for easy dispensing. They recommend using 1–2 drops (around 1 mL), for use as a sensitizing lube or arousal oil. Since it’s made with hemp seed oil, best to assume it’s not safe to use with latex condoms or silicone toys.
