Bigger Size Gel 150ml review & buying guide

Design and materials

This product is a gel-based lubricant supplied in a 150ml container. The formulation includes aqua, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and propylene glycol as primary ingredients, combined with plant extracts including paullinia cupana (guarana) seed, panax ginseng root, humulus lupulus (hops), and urtica dioica (nettle). It also contains glycerin and sorbitol for moisturising properties. The gel is designed to be easy to apply and is marketed with a sensual fragrance profile. The packaging is multilingual, with text in English, Polish, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German, Greek, and Portuguese.

What it's like to use

As a lubricant, this gel is intended to be applied directly to the skin before sexual activity. The formulation is stated to be compatible with condoms, which is important for users who rely on barrier contraception. The gel's moisturising properties, supplied by glycerin and sorbitol, mean it should not dry out as quickly as some water-based alternatives. Before first use, the manufacturer recommends performing a patch test by applying a small amount to the inside of your forearm to check for any adverse reaction. You should avoid contact with eyes during use.

Cleaning and care

As a water-based gel lubricant, this product can be cleaned away with warm water and soap. The container should be stored away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the product out of reach of children at all times.

Buy it if

You prefer lubricants formulated with herbal and plant-based ingredients rather than synthetic alternatives. You want a condom-compatible lubricant in a larger 150ml bottle that will last through multiple uses. You're interested in a product that combines lubrication with traditionally used plant extracts like ginseng and guarana. You value a moisturising gel formula over thinner, runnier alternatives.

Skip it if

You have known sensitivities to any of the listed ingredients, particularly plant extracts or fragrance components. You prefer fragrance-free products or are sensitive to scented lubricants. You're looking for a product with specific clinical evidence of efficacy—this is a herbal formulation rather than a medically tested treatment. You require a hypoallergenic product; whilst marketed as anti-allergic, the inclusion of multiple plant extracts means patch testing is essential before regular use.

The bottom line

Bigger Size Gel is a plant-extract-based lubricant that serves a dual purpose as a moisturising, condom-compatible product. The 150ml size offers good value for regular users, and the herbal ingredient profile will appeal to those seeking natural formulations. However, the presence of fragrance and multiple plant extracts means it's essential to patch test first if you have sensitive skin. It's best viewed as a functional lubricant with added herbal ingredients rather than a treatment product with guaranteed results.
