The Best Vegan Lubes for a Sexy, Natural Time
Seven great options for some slick, cruelty-free fun.
I was recently watching an episode of Watch What Happens Live! (Andy Cohen is the happiness our world needs right now) on which Dr. Oz was a guest. At some point during their conversation, Dr. Oz said there are four things your body needs: food, sex, sleep, and water. No argument here! We all want and need those things, but what happens when your lifestyle restricts certain products that would normally facilitate one of said things? Specifically, veganism. (I had a vegan roommate and it is only because of her that I know such things as vegan cheese and vegan condoms exist.)
It was the vegan condoms that really got me thinking. Should vegan condoms be paired with, say, truly excellent vegan lube? It's not just vegans who might want animal product–free lube: Even if you're like me and will never give up chicken fingers, who wants to put a bunch of unnatural bits in their bits? That's why I’ve rounded up seven vegan lubes ready for a good time. All of these products rank among the best lubes ever, and all cruelty-free and with no stickiness, chafing, or horrible flavors included.
Good Clean Love Almost Naked Personal Lubricant
Sticky lube is a real mood-killer, no matter what you're doing with it. That's why Almost Naked personal lubricant is great: It’s so soft and lightweight you'll feel like nothing is there. It's comprised mostly of aloe and has a hint of vanilla and lemon so there's a tiny bit of flavor but it isn’t overpowering.
LuLu #1 Personal Lubricant
Lulu is an organic, aloe-based lubricant with a silky, smooth finish. The great thing about this one is there is absolutely no smell at all. Can't get much more natural than that.
Aloe Cadabra Personal Lubricant
This lube is aloe-based (just in case the name didn’t give it away) and comes in a variety of flavors—including mango, butter rum, and piña colada—which all work as deliciously as they smell, so pick your poison, er, pleasure.

Anjou Personal Lubricant
This natural, water-based lube leaves no residue and, in addition to being vegan, is hypo-allergenic. Basically, if you have someone in your life that's a little sensitive to products, change their life with this.
Sliquid Natural Intimate Lubricant
Get it? Like a slick liquid? Anyway, this favorite of sexperts is a water-based lube (which means it's great to use while playing with sex toys), that's also vegan friendly and completely odorless and tasteless. More importantly, it doesn't stain which is appreciated when things get messy.
In2Mate Natural Lubricant
The lubricant claims to have rejuvenating properties that may help with smoothness and flexibility down there. I love a double-duty product so I am here for this. Also important to note is that this product is 99.3 percent natural, compared to many other lubes that are just 95 percent.
Nelly De Vuyst Lubielle
Skincare brand Nelly De Vuyst wants all of your lady parts to stay in good shape, so they added a personal care line to their arsenal last month, BioFemme. Lubielle is the collection's natural lubricant, which offers right amount of slide without any stickiness.

My Hot Summer Looks for Women
Guys definitely notice a girl’s style. Sometimes I’m completely sold on how a girl dresses or how she does her hair. I can remember times when my friends and I have been heading home after meeting some girls and picking out a girl who was dressed really hot—and talking about her at length. The ultimate look is sexy, cute, hot all combined. I once tried to define these words, but perhaps a girl can just define them in her style. As we start getting towards the end of Summer, I wanted to lay out my favorite Summer looks on girls: Jeans with heels OK, so I did complain when I went out with a girl who wore heels to a sporting event, but I really like the jeans with heels look when appropriate. It’s sophisticated and sexy. I think black heels look the best with jeans. In terms of the heels themselves, I’m really not an expert on this, but the heels that have that 40’s style to them are really cute on girls. The jeans with heels look goes across all seasons. Sundresses This is so cliché but they look so hot. Sundresses seem to pick up the summer breeze and refract the sun’s rays…they are magical. The other day my friend and I saw a gorgeous girl riding her bike in a sundress and we stared, mesmerized, while he remarked: “All these girls riding around their bikes in sundresses…it’s just not fair.”
