    Oil-based: keep away from latex condoms

    See the six oils

  • 01

    A label you can read in full

    Our lube lists six ingredients and our lavender oil three. Every product page prints the whole label, in order.

  • 02

    Clear, tasteless, gone with water

    The lube is a colorless gel that rinses away with water. The oils wash off with soap.

  • 03

    One pump, one hand

    Every bottle is the same black pump bottle, so you can use it with one hand and leave it out.

Massage oils

Six Nooky oils, two bases

Every oil in the Nooky assortment comes in the same 16 fl oz pump bottle. Almond oil gives your hands more glide, coconut oil feels lighter and sinks in sooner, and the scent comes after that.

The lube

The Nooky lube buyers rate most

A water-based gel, clear and tasteless, made without glycerin, parabens or petrochemicals. Purified water and propylene glycol carry it, hydroxyethyl cellulose makes it a gel, and sodium PCA, potassium sorbate and citric acid close the six-line label.

It comes in a 16 fl oz pump bottle for the drawer and a 32 fl oz one that costs less per ounce. Our product notes say it is made for use with toys. Our label says it has not been evaluated with condoms, so if you rely on them, read the lube guide first.

Before you order

How to choose your Nooky bottle

Six things to settle first. If one of them is still a guess, write to us and the Nooky studio answers from the label.
  1. 01

    Decide what the bottle is for

    Sex and toys call for the water-based lube. A back rub or a slow full-body massage calls for one of the six oils. The two are not swaps for each other.

    Lube or oil?
  2. 02

    Check what you use with it

    If you rely on latex condoms, read our lube label first: it says the gel has not been evaluated with condoms. Keep every massage oil away from latex.

    Condoms and lube
  3. 03

    Ask about nuts before you pour

    Five of our six oils list sweet almond or macadamia oil, the unscented one included. With a tree nut allergy in the room, the choice is coconut or vanilla.

    Nut oils by bottle
  4. 04

    Pick a scent you both like

    Lavender and geranium read floral, orange blossom bright, coconut and vanilla warm. Unscented has no added fragrance for anyone who would rather smell nothing.

    All six oils
  5. 05

    Test it on the inside of an arm

    Dermatologists suggest a quarter-sized spot twice a day for 7 to 10 days with any new skin product. Red, itchy or swollen skin means wash it off and stop.

Oils by base

Nooky massage oils by what is in the bottle

The two bases of the Nooky lineup, each on a page of its own with every label side by side.

  • Nooky almond massage oils

    Lavender, orange blossom and geranium on sweet almond oil, with jojoba or macadamia. A touch more glide under the hands. Not for a tree nut allergy.

    3 oils · from $19.94

  • Nooky coconut-base massage oils

    Coconut, vanilla and unscented on coconut and fractionated coconut oil. Lighter and quicker to sink in. The unscented one still lists macadamia and almond.

    3 oils · from $18.94

  • Nooky massage oils without tree nuts

    Coconut and vanilla: the two labels with no almond or macadamia. Both are coconut-based, so they are not the pick if coconut is your allergy.

12 years of Nooky

Nooky has made its water-based lube since 2014

The lube came first and still carries more ratings than anything else we make. The six massage oils grew around it, one scent at a time, in the same black pump bottle. The bottle and label have been redrawn since. The formula on the label has not.

Questions

What you ask Nooky most

Not here? Write to bedside@nookystore.com and we answer from the label.

Where can you buy Nooky lube and massage oil?

Every product page here has a buy button that opens that exact bottle at our retail partner, where you pay and choose delivery. This site shows the range, the labels and the prices from our last update.

Can you use Nooky lube with condoms?

Our label says the lube has not been evaluated for condom compatibility and may damage condoms, so we do not call it condom-safe. If you rely on condoms, use a lube whose own label says it was tested with your type of condom. The lube guide explains what the FDA and the CDC say.

Should you use a Nooky massage oil as a lube?

Not with a condom. Our massage oils are plant oils, and the CDC warns that oil-based products weaken latex and make condoms break. Keep the oil for massage and wash it off before sex with a condom.

Which Nooky massage oils should you skip with a nut allergy?

Lavender lists sweet almond oil, and orange blossom, geranium and unscented list sweet almond and macadamia. Coconut and vanilla list no tree nut oil, but both are coconut-based. Every label is printed here, word for word.

Will you find glycerin or parabens in Nooky lube?

Yes. The label says it is not made with petrochemicals, glycerin or parabens. Its six ingredients are purified water, propylene glycol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium PCA, potassium sorbate and citric acid.

Which size of Nooky lube should you pick?

Both sizes hold the same gel in a pump bottle. The 16 fl oz bottle fits a nightstand drawer. The 32 fl oz bottle costs less per ounce and lasts longer at home.

How should you test a Nooky oil on your skin first?

The American Academy of Dermatology suggests a quarter-sized spot on the inner arm or the bend of the elbow, twice a day for 7 to 10 days. Red, itchy or swollen skin means wash the oil off and stop using it.
