Looking for a massage oil that will double as a lube? Look no further. "Silicone lubricant is a really good tool to have if you want something that’s going to work as both a massage oil and lubricant. I recommend Uberlube," says Finn.

Just don't use it with silicone sex toys—the silicone in the lube could cause the toys to degrade over time.

For a truly sensual experience, try this CBD massage oil, which will help relax your muscles and any physical nerves. The soothing lavender scent doesn't hurt, either.

Founded by a sexologist, Bloomi's products are all made to empower women. Plus, because this massage oil is designed to be free of all vulvar allergens, you'll want to use it generously, everywhere. It's also fragrance-free, making it an ideal choice if you have a sensitive nose (and skin).
