Water-based lubricants are formulated mainly with water, rather than silicone, and mimic the body’s natural moisture, making intercourse more comfortable. Thanks to their compatibility with latex condoms and silicone sex toys, they’re a safe, easy-to-use, and easy-to-clean option suitable for a wide variety of preferences and sensitivities.
Whether you’re looking for a simple, nourishing formula or one with unsweetened, edible flavor, water-based lubes from La Nua are a reliable choice for supporting intimacy and overall comfort.
A healthy vagina has a natural pH of around 4.5, and even small shifts can lead to irritation, dryness, or infections like BV or yeast. That is why pH balance is such an essential factor when choosing a lubricant.
We suggest ensuring the lube is designed to match your natural vaginal pH so it will not disrupt your ecosystem or create the kind of imbalance that harmful bacteria can thrive in.
It is also a good idea to go for products made with as many naturally derived ingredients instead of harsh chemicals that can irritate sensitive tissue. Always check with your doctor or gynecologist to see what they recommend for your body.
La Nua water-based lubes are intentionally pH-balanced to support comfort and intimate health, especially for women who are prone to sensitivity.

Yes. Water-based lubricant is safe for latex condoms, polyisoprene condoms, silicone toys, and basically every other material. This makes it the easiest all-in-one option if you rotate between condoms, toys, and different types of play. It's easier to clean off of your toys so they can stay in better condition long-term.
Water-based lube is the perfect all-around lube for many people, especially women experiencing vaginal dryness from things like hormones, stress, breastfeeding, or menopause. Like many personal lubricants, it's designed to make penetration more comfortable if you’re sensitive to ingredients or prone to irritation. It's recommended to look for pH-balanced water-based lubes that are designed to be gentle on delicate tissues.
Water-based lubes are also a great choice for anyone who wants flavored lube options for oral sex. Clean, unsweetened formulas like the ones by La Nua allow you to enjoy flavor without sweeteners that can disrupt pH or trigger sensitivity.
Water-based lube can absorb into the skin over time, especially during long sessions or if you’re already experiencing dryness. A second pump usually brings the slip right back, though. For people who want a longer-lasting glide without switching to unscented silicone lube may help.
Women who are looking for a friendly lubricant that won’t result in an infection like BV or a UTI would be best to go for lubricants that avoid using parabens, glycerin, sweeteners of any kind and those that use artificial ingredients.
Additionally, water-based lubes like La Nua can support intimate health by moisturizing and soothing delicate tissues, making them helpful for women experiencing vaginal dryness.
Standard water-based lubricants are the most common and suitable for everyday use. For those seeking an even more natural option, there are natural and organic variants made with plant-based, certified organic ingredients, free from harsh chemicals. Some formulas are enhanced with additional features, such as warming, cooling, or extra moisturizing properties, giving you more options to tailor your experience.
- Does the lubricant contain chemicals like parabens, glycerin, and propylene glycol (if prone to irritation), petroleum, artificial fragrances, and dyes?
- High pH levels can cause discomfort or disrupt the natural vaginal pH balance. Look for ones that are pH-balanced. You should consider silicone lubricant for its pH-neutral makeup because it doesn’t contain water.
- Expiration: Always check expiration dates on lubrication. They do have a shelf life!
While glycerin is a standard ingredient in many lubricants for its moisture-retaining properties, many of La Nua’s products intentionally exclude it to minimize irritation. Natural extracts, such as shea butter or coconut oil, can nourish the skin, but it’s essential to choose formulas that carefully balance these ingredients for optimal safety. To maintain comfort and health, look for products with pH-balancing agents, such as citrate or phosphates, which support your body's natural balance.
