Massage oils are lubricating products designed to reduce friction during manual stimulation and sex. Applied to skin, genitals, or toys, they make stroking smoother and more comfortable. People use massage oils during masturbation, partner sex, and with sex toys to enhance glide, reduce irritation, and intensify sensation through longer, easier strokes.

Massage Oils Quick Facts

  • Category: Lubricants and intimate products
  • Common Materials: Plant oils (coconut, almond, jojoba), mineral oil, silicone-based formulas
  • Typical Sizes: 30ml to 250ml bottles
  • Power: Manual application—no batteries required
  • Key Features: Long-lasting glide, warming or cooling sensations, scents and flavours, skin-safe formulations

Why Choose Massage Oils

  1. Smooth Stroking: Oil reduces friction between hand and skin or between toy and body, allowing longer strokes without discomfort, chafing, or loss of sensation from repeated friction.
  2. Works With All Materials: Oil-based formulas work on skin, silicone toys, metal toys, and glass toys without degrading materials or creating sticky residue like water-based lubes eventually do.
  3. Longer Lasting: Massage oils don't dry out as quickly as water-based lubricants, meaning fewer reapplications during extended masturbation or sex sessions.

Types of Massage Oils

Natural Plant Oils

Coconut, almond, jojoba, and grapeseed oils absorb into skin naturally and leave a silky feel. These are kitchen-grade oils suitable for bodies but not designed specifically for sex. They work well for massage and manual stimulation but may stain fabrics and aren't formulated for toy safety or sensory enhancement. Browse our full range of products designed for intimate use.

Warming and Cooling Oils

Formulated massage oils that generate heat or cold sensations when applied. Warming oils increase blood flow and sensitivity; cooling oils numb slightly for extended sessions. These add sensory variety to masturbation and partner sex without changing the oil's primary lubricating function.

Scented and Flavoured Oils

Infused with vanilla, strawberry, peach, or other scents and flavours. Some are designed for oral sex, others purely for aroma during massage. Flavoured oils make oral play more pleasurable, while scented oils create atmosphere without taste.

Silicone-Based Massage Oils

Heavier-duty formulas that last extremely long and don't absorb into skin. Silicone oils provide consistent glide throughout extended sessions and work with all toy materials, but require soap to wash off fully and may stain some fabrics.

Edible Body Oils

Specifically formulated to be safe if ingested during oral sex. These combine lubricating properties with taste appeal and are made from food-safe ingredients. Ideal for couples who want lubrication plus oral play in the same product.

Cooling Oil Extended sessions, reducing oversensitivity Numbing sensation extends playtime 45-90 minutes per application
Scented Oil Atmosphere and aroma during sex Adds sensory element without taste 60-120 minutes per application
Silicone-Based Oil Long sessions, all toy types Extremely long-lasting glide 120+ minutes per application
Edible Oil Oral sex and partner play Safe to ingest, lubricates and tastes good 45-75 minutes per application

Who Buys Massage Oils

Men who masturbate: Oil reduces hand friction and allows longer, easier strokes without skin irritation. The slickness intensifies sensation and delays fatigue, making extended sessions more pleasurable without callusing or chafing from repetitive contact.

Couples during penetration: Oil reduces friction between bodies and creates smoother, longer strokes. Partners who want extended sex without discomfort or loss of sensation use massage oil as an alternative to traditional lubricants that dry sticky.

Choosing Massage Oils

  • Material Safety: Silicone oils work with all toy materials. Natural oils work on skin and toys but may degrade silicone over time; check product instructions before using with expensive silicone toys.
  • Absorption Rate: Natural plant oils absorb into skin within 30-60 minutes and require reapplication. Silicone oils last 2+ hours. Choose based on session length and reapplication tolerance.
  • Staining: Oil-based formulas stain fabrics and bedding. If this concerns you, water-based lubricants stain less, though they dry faster and require more frequent reapplication.
  • Taste and Scent: If oral sex is involved, verify the oil is food-safe. Regular massage oils aren't formulated for ingestion and may cause stomach upset. Edible oils are specifically formulated for safety during oral play.
  • Skin Sensitivity: Plant oils work for most people but can trigger allergies. Silicone and synthetic oils reduce allergy risk. Test on a small area of skin first if you have sensitive skin or known oil allergies.

Looking After Your Massage Oils

Store massage oils in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, as heat and light break down the formula and reduce shelf life. Keep bottles tightly capped to prevent oxidation. If using with silicone toys, wipe oil from toys thoroughly after use to prevent degradation of silicone material. Wash your hands and body with soap and warm water after use—oil won't rinse cleanly with water alone. Natural plant oils may separate over time; shake before use. Check expiration dates on bottles; oils degrade faster in warm bathrooms than cool cupboards.

Goes Well With

Vibrators

Massage oil reduces friction between a vibrator and skin, allowing longer sessions and easier movement. The glide layer lets vibrators slide smoothly during masturbation or partner sex. Many people combine warming oil with vibrators for intensified sensation during arousal.
