No eyeballing scores. Each lubricant is rated using the same data and formula, and the formula is published. Price is compared per millilitre, not by package: two bottles at the same price can have triple the amount in one than the other.
33 of 376 models in stock had at least 5 verified purchase reviews, which is the minimum to rate them. The rest aren't worse: there's no data to say otherwise.
If we change the weights, the no. 1 remains in 11 of 13 combinations.

If this is not your case, and you consider your lubrication to be adequate, you can use stimulating lubricants, flavored lubricants or warming ones. This way you will enhance your sensations and those of your partner during intercourse.
It's important to know that there are two types of lubricants for couples: water-based ones, which as their name suggests, are mainly made of water, are body-friendly, and can be used with condoms and with erotic toys. There are also silicone-based lubricants, which are designed for anal sex and for people with penetration difficulties, as they have a thicker texture and last longer.
When it comes to practicing anal sex, it is essential to know how to properly lubricate the anus, as this area lacks its own lubrication 🤦♀️. That's why the use of effective anal ..

With the data from this review, the Eros Aqua, with 8,8/10. But it depends on the use: for anal, the Anal Lube Lubricante Calmante; for oral sex, the Shunga Toko Aroma; and if you're looking at the price, the Vive Lube Natural.
Because the price on the bottle can be misleading. Among the 33 lubes we've rated, there are containers of 50 ml and 150 ml at almost the same price, and one ends up being up to three times cheaper than another for what you actually use. In the table, the price you see is already calculated per 100 ml.
The Vive Lube Natural: it's the highest rated among the cheapest per millilitre, and costs 6,99 €.
Water-based ones are the most versatile: they work with condoms and almost all toys, and wash off with water. Silicone ones last longer and hold up in water, but be careful with silicone toys. In the 'Base' column of the table, you can see what each one is made of.
One that the sheet marks as ideal for anal, which is usually thicker and lasts longer. The highest rated of those is the Anal Lube Lubricante Calmante. In the 'For' column of the table, you can see which ones declare it.
Yes, and these are the ones sought for oral sex. The highest rated flavoured one is the Shunga Toko Aroma, with 8,6/10 under the same criteria as the others.
Water-based and silicone-based ones do; oil-based ones shouldn't be used with latex condoms. Almost all the ones we've rated claim to be compatible, and it's one of the factors that counts towards the rating.
That the manufacturer claims the formula doesn't contain parabens, a type of preservative. It's what the label says, not our analysis. The highest rated among those that claim this is the Aquaglide Original.

See all lubricantsAll those in the category and its subcategories that are currently active, in stock, and with a price (376 models). Accessories and spare parts, discontinued ones, and for scoring, those with less than 5 verified purchase reviews: 343 models that aren't worse, they just don't have enough data, are excluded.
Only reviews with a real order behind them, counted once even if translated into multiple languages; never reviews copied from other shops. Sales from paid orders in the last 24 months, excluding returns. The technical sheet of each model. The price including VAT. And incidents recorded by customer service.
| Criterion | Weight | Where it comes from | How it's calculated | Confidence | If data is missing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Customer rating | 40 % | Reviews with verified purchase at VivelaVita: one per review, no reviews from other shops or repeated translations | Bayesian average: each model starts from the group's average and its reviews shift it. So 5 reviews of 5 stars don't beat 200 reviews of 4.8. Scale: 60/100 (3 stars) or less = 0, 100/100 = 10. | High with 20 or more reviews, medium with 5 to 19, low with less | That criterion isn't scored and its weight is distributed among the others. Unknown isn't bad. |
| Actual purchases | 25 % | Paid orders from the last 24 months, in net units after returns | Units per month since its first sale (to not penalise new models), compared with the rest of the models analysed: the one bought the most scores 10, the least 0. In a lubricant, this is especially important: people buy again if they like it. | High with 30 units or more, medium with 10 to 29, low with less | Missing data doesn't exist: zero sales is data |
| Price per 100 ml | 10 % | Retail price with VAT divided by the bottle's content, compared to the median of the models analysed | The cost of 100 ml, not the bottle: two lubricants at €4 might bring 50 ml or 150. A median price scores 5; half the price per millilitre, 7.5; double the price, 2.5. | High | That criterion isn't scored and its weight is distributed among the others. Unknown isn't bad. |
| Declared formula | 9 % | Technical sheet: dermatologically tested, paraben-free, vegan, flora-friendly and glycerin-free | Starts from 4 and adds based on the technical sheet: dermatologically tested (+2), paraben-free (+2), flora-friendly (+1), vegan (+0.5) and glycerin-free (+0.5). It's what the manufacturer states, not a lab analysis. | Medium: the sheet is filled out by people | That criterion isn't scored and its weight is distributed among the others. Unknown isn't bad. |
| Texture and duration | 8 % | Technical sheet: non-sticky, non-staining, long-lasting and colourless | Starts from 4 and adds for non-sticky (+2), long-lasting (+2), non-staining (+1.5) and colourless (+0.5). | Medium: the form is filled in by people | That criterion isn't scored and its weight is distributed among the others. Unknown isn't bad. |
| Compatibility | 8 % | Technical sheet: compatible with condoms and toys; incompatible with silicone toys | Out of 5: compatible with condoms adds 2.5 and compatible with other toys adds another 2.5. If the sheet warns that it is not suitable with silicone toys, it deducts 3: this is what is most often found out late. | Medium: the form is filled in by people | That criterion isn't scored and its weight is distributed among the others. Unknown isn't bad. |
Weighted average of the criteria where data exists, from 0 to 10. In case of a tie, decided in this order: the purchase score, the number of verified reviews, and the lowest price.
AI doesn't put grades nor decide the order. It drafts the 'why', the pros and cons, and the summary of opinions from a closed data package, and each sentence has to literally quote the opinion, the file, or the data it comes from; anything that cannot be verified is discarded before publishing.
The data is recalculated every day, but the published order doesn’t change on its own: when the new data significantly shifts it, a person reviews and publishes a new version. This is version 1, reviewed on 13/09/2026. If we change the weights of the criteria, the No. 1 holds in 11 of 13 combinations.
