Collection: Silicone Based Lubricants

Why Choose Silicone Lube — and When Not To

Silicone-based lubricants are built on inert silicone polymers that don't absorb into the skin and don't evaporate — which means they stay slippery for dramatically longer than water-based formulas. A small amount goes a long way, and there's no need to keep reapplying during extended sessions. They're also completely waterproof, making them the only lube that works properly in the shower, bath, or pool without washing away immediately.

They're condom-safe (compatible with latex and polyisoprene condoms), hypoallergenic, and body-safe — the silicone molecules are too large to be absorbed through skin. They're particularly valued for anal play, where long-lasting lubrication reduces friction and significantly improves comfort. They're also ideal for skin-to-skin sex and manual stimulation where you want sustained glide without constantly pausing to reapply.

The key limitation: never use silicone lube with silicone sex toys. The lube bonds with the toy's surface, breaking down the material and leaving it tacky or pitted — this damage is permanent. With glass, metal, ABS plastic, or hard toys, silicone lube is perfectly fine. If you're unsure whether your toy is silicone, patch-test a small area first. Silicone lube is also not recommended for use with silicone sleeves or TPE products. For those, choose a water-based lubricant instead.
