Pepee Lubricants Australia - Japanese Water-Based Thin Personal Lubricants

Pepee is a Japanese brand of water-based lubricants and massage lotions, made by Nakajima Chemical Industry in Nagoya. Its range covers the classic Original lotion, the scented and infused Special series, Backdoor anal lubes, thick Rubber And Lovers and Omega 3.

About Pepee

Pepee (ペペ) is made by Nakajima Chemical Industry, a Nagoya chemical company that says it has traded for more than 130 years. The lotion grew out of a massage jelly the company developed in the 1970s. Today Pepee is one of Japan’s best-known lubricant brands, and the company reports selling around 5.5 million bottles a year.

Nakajima says it develops and makes Pepee entirely in Japan, at a cosmetics-licensed factory. Each batch is tested for thickness, pH and bacteria, and samples are kept for three years. The company also holds Japanese patents for a deodorising agent and functional lubricant.

Pepee lines

Pepee sells under these lines.

Original

Original is the classic Pepee lotion that started the range. It is clear, unscented and tasteless, with a smooth, slippery feel. The 360 ml bottle is a thicker massage lotion that suits full-body and nuru-style massage. The 50 ml Original Medium Viscosity bottle is a lighter everyday lube for sex, solo play and travel. Both rinse off with water, leaving no oily feel.

Special

Pepee Special is the premium series, with added ingredients and scents. Special Collagen contains collagen, Special Aeromusk has a soft musk scent and Special Rose a light rose fragrance. Special Exciting contains Korean ginseng extract and L-arginine, and Special Sexy Night contains soybean extract. Several come in a 360 ml bottle with a one-touch cap, and some also come in a 50 ml size.

Backdoor

Backdoor is Pepee’s anal lube line. Special High Viscosity Backdoor is the thicker formula, made to cushion and stay in place during anal play, in 200 ml and 360 ml bottles. Special Backdoor Advanced is a medium-thickness version that contains azulene, in a smaller flip-top bottle. Use plenty and reapply often, because the body does not lubricate itself for anal sex.

Rubber And Lovers

Rubber And Lovers is a thick, cushioned lube made to stay slippery for longer sessions. It comes in a 50 ml travel bottle and a 360 ml bottle. Like all Pepee lubes, it is water-based, so it suits condoms and silicone sex toys. Many buyers also use it with onaholes and strokers. It is unscented and rinses away with warm water.

Omega 3

Omega 3 blends water-based glide with plant oils, including Inca inchi and pepper oils, for a silky feel. It comes in a 50 ml bottle and a 360 ml bottle, listed as Omega 003. The 360 ml version has a thicker, creamy texture that many buyers use with strokers. Rinse it off with warm water, and check the oils suit your skin first.

Pepee categories

The rest of the range falls into these groups.

Thick and long-lasting lubes

Wankers is a thick, silky lube in a 360 ml bottle that is odourless, tasteless and colourless. Smoothie is a 360 ml lube with a non-stringy formula, so it glides without pulling into threads. Both suit long sessions and work well with strokers and onaholes. A small amount goes a long way, and a few drops of water bring back the slip.

Plant-based and cooling lubes

Pepee Organic is a plant-derived lube in a 360 ml bottle for buyers who prefer natural ingredients. Cool Mint adds a fresh, cooling feel that fades after a few minutes. Try Cool Mint on a small area first, as cooling lubes can feel intense on sensitive skin. In Japan, Pepee also makes Sakura and Green Tea scented versions for buyers who like a lighter fragrance.

Why Japanese lotions feel different

Japanese lotions like Pepee are usually thicker than Western lubes. They are made to stay slippery on the skin for longer, which suits massage and long sessions. Pepee comes in medium and high thicknesses, so you can choose how much cushion you want. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount.

Keeping lube from drying out

Water-based lube can dry as the water evaporates or soaks into the skin. Thicker Pepee formulas, such as Original 360 ml and Rubber And Lovers, last longer between top-ups. If the glide fades, add a few drops of water rather than more lube. Our article on why lube dries fast explains the causes in more detail.

Lube for comfort

Many people use lube to make sex more comfortable, at any age. A gentle, unscented formula such as Original Medium Viscosity is a good start for sensitive skin. Our guide to vaginal dryness looks at common causes and when to see a doctor. You can also compare other lubes for sensitive skin before you choose.

Choosing your Pepee

For everyday sex and solo play, start with Original Medium Viscosity. For massage, choose Original 360 ml, which spreads over large areas. For anal play, pick Special High Viscosity Backdoor. For strokers and onaholes, Rubber And Lovers or Wankers give a thick, lasting glide. Choose a Special scent if you want to set the mood.

How Pepee lubes compare

Here is how the main Pepee lubes line up.

Using Pepee for massage

Pepee began as a massage lotion, and it still works well for this. Warm the bottle in a bowl of hot water first. Pour a small amount into your hands and spread it over the back or shoulders. Lay a towel underneath, because the lotion is very slippery. Rinse off with warm water afterwards.

Using Pepee with sex toys and condoms

Every Pepee lube is water-based, so it is safe with latex and polyisoprene condoms. It also suits silicone, glass, metal and plastic sex toys. Rinse sex toys with warm water after use, then wash them as normal. Water-based lube is the easiest type to clean from sheets and skin. Compare Pepee with other water-based lubes if you need a thinner option.

Plant-based options

Pepee Organic uses plant-derived ingredients, for buyers who want a more natural choice. Pairing it with long-lasting sex toys made from body-safe materials keeps your routine simpler. Our guide to eco-friendly sex toys has more tips for a lower-impact bedroom.

How much Pepee to use

Pepee is concentrated, so start with a coin-sized amount. Warm it between your fingers before applying, as cold lube can be a surprise. Spread it where you need it most, then add more only if the glide fades. For massage, pour a little at a time onto your hands rather than straight onto the skin.

Storing your Pepee

Keep the cap closed and store the bottle away from heat and direct sunlight. Check the expiry date, and stop using lube that changes colour, smell or texture. Large 360 ml bottles last a long time, so note when you opened them. Travel bottles of 50 ml suit a handbag or overnight bag.

Who Pepee suits — and who should look elsewhere

Pepee suits buyers who want a thick, long-lasting water-based lube or massage lotion. It also suits stroker owners, couples who enjoy massage and anyone who prefers to rinse off with water.

It is not for buyers who want a lube for shower sex or water play, where silicone lasts longer. People who prefer a thin, light lube may find most Pepee formulas too thick. Browse our full range of personal lubricants for other options.
