Cannabis is sexy for many reasons—we know this. It revs our mental engines and expands our ideas of giving and receiving those hot, fuzzy feelings. But it also feels good on top.
When it comes to lube and topicals, studies have found cannabinoids to be effective vasodilators. In short, a weed-infused product applied on the skin can increase blood flow and target specific regions of the body to improve sensitivity for both parties.
Additional data suggests that our two favorite cannabinoids— THC and CBD—work as a power couple to reduce pain and inflammation when used topically. This trifecta of health effects translates quite well into leisure activities in the bedroom. But hold your horses!
We always recommend starting at the lowest effective dose. These products have a generally low risk, but consult a doctor before using them to see if they’re right for you. Check the ingredients for any potential allergens, and maybe patch-test the product on your hand or arm before it goes anywhere a little more touchy.
If weed lube is for you, we got you. Here are the 10 best THC lubes and CBD lubes on the market today.
Om’s Love Balm & Perfect Balance
$44 for 89 ml
Available: Love Balm in California, Perfect Balance Nationwide
Om Living gives me life. This Sebastopol, CA-based brand was founded in the medical market in 2008 by Maya Elisabeth. 16 years later, Om is a testament to the tenacity and innovation of women entrepreneurs in the space. The brand’s sexy jar of cannabis-infused Love Balm is award-winning—it took home third place for Best Topical at the 2019 Emerald Cup.
For those not in California, Om Wellness has a CBD accompaniment called Perfect Balance Yoni Balm nationwide. This is silky-smooth to the touch with a fully vegan and cruelty-free ingredients list stacked with emollients like coconut oil, shea butter and olive oil, as well as plant extracts calendula and 1000 mg of broad-spectrum, hemp-derived CBD.

The world’s first water-soluble weed lube, Velvet Swing gracefully glides into its rightful place on this list. Its Seattle-based founders Mistress Matisse and Chelsea Cebara are cannabis and sex educators with combined decades of expertise in their field. With no cannabis smell or odor, the lube is mindful of consumers and elevates the experience.
The THC-infused lube is special: Velvet Swing lube is compatible with all condoms and toy materials, including latex, polyisoprene, and silicone. You’ll find 33 mg CBD and 100 mg THC in each Velvet Swing bottle. Its maximum effect can be felt about 40 minutes into playtime and lasts for up to 4 hours. Yes, it contains THC but this lube won’t get you high—that is “unless you ingest a lot of it orally or anally,” the Velvet Swing team says.
Quim’s Smooth Operator
$48 for 30 ml
Available: Nationwide
Smooth Operator is the beloved plant-based intimate serum from Quim, a popular wellness brand for “humans with vaginas and humans without vaginas who love vaginas.” Its co-founders Cyo Ray Nystrom and Rachel Washtien built their plant-praising brand Quim in San Francisco in 2016. The CBD-infused, latex-safe, proprietary formula aims to increase blood flow, decrease inflammation, reduce pain, and promote relaxation in all the right places.

Privy Peach’s Intimacy Oil

Available: Nationwide
The CBD-infused Intimacy Oil from Privy Peach is lube list-worthy. Founder Kim Koehler has been a champion for women’s health, sex, and cannabis education since the brand’s creation in 2018. Its minimalist, vegan, and cruelty-free approach get the job done with only two ingredients: ultra-filtered virgin coconut oil and 300 mg of nano-emulsified, broad-spectrum CBD.
Each box of Privy Peach contains 12 convenient, single-use pouches at 25 mg each. Privy Peach’s oil can definitely degrade latex, so don’t use it with condoms. Its “friction consistency does not fade with increasing vigorous activity,” says one happy reviewer out of thousands of repeat customers. Time to get vigorous.

Flora + Bast’s Aphrodisia Intimate Arousal Oil
$99 for 50 ml

Like ambrosia of the gods, it can be used topically and orally—both methods of consumption have been known to enhance sexual energy, sensation, and pleasure. When applied topically, the Aphrodisia Oil offers uplifting and sultry libido-stimulating effects; taken as a sublingual, CBD has also been found to decrease anxiety and discomfort that some experience during sex.
This is all about sinking in and surrendering to pleasure.

Cinnamon and cardamom essential oils grant this product a softly spicy, warming sensation. Aphrodisia contains 2,700 mg of total active cannabinoids, split between, 1700 mg CBD, and 1000mg CBG.

Foria Awaken Arousal Oil
$44 for 30 ml

Founded in 2013, Foria is a weed lube OG. Its CBD-infused Intimacy Sex Oil shines in its simplicity with only two ingredients: 400 mg broad-spectrum CBD and organic coconut oil. This clear and odorless lube in an easy-to-use spray pump is like satin—light to the touch but incredibly moisturizing immediately. Turned on is an understatement; more like wet and juicy, and a little goes a long way.
The equally seductive intimacy oil, Awaken, is known as a “pre-lube” to support the body’s arousal and enhances natural lubricant, blood flow, and comfort. Foria even has a sexy Valentine’s Day-timed bundle called Sweet Seduction with Alice Mushrooms to ignite your weed and mushy passions.
People can check the COAs of each batch on the brand’s website for an added layer of consumer transparency. The beloved lube brand dropped its THC offering in 2021 (formerly available in California) because CBD is available nationwide and offers similar benefits. —Trina Calderon contributed to this review.
