Quick answer
To use silicone lubricant with toys, first check if your toy is silicone-based (avoid mixing silicone on silicone), apply a small amount to the toy or directly to the skin, and reapply as needed for lasting slip.
Why silicone lubricant is different
Silicone lubricant is long-lasting, waterproof, and stays slick longer than water-based options. It’s ideal for shower or bath play and doesn’t absorb into the skin. However, it can damage silicone toys because both are made from similar materials, causing the toy’s surface to break down over time.
When to choose silicone lubricant
Silicone lube works best with non-silicone toys like glass, metal, or ABS plastic. It’s also great for skin-to-skin contact and for use in water. If you’re unsure about your toy’s material, do a patch test on a small area first.
How to use silicone lubricant with toys step by step
- Check toy material: Identify if your toy is made of silicone, glass, metal, or plastic. Silicone lubricant is safe with non-silicone materials only. If the toy is silicone, switch to a water-based lubricant to avoid damage.
- Apply a small amount: Dispense a pea-sized drop of silicone lubricant onto the toy or your skin. The pump dispenser on the Loving Joy bottle makes this easy and mess-free. Start with less; you can always add more. Too much can make things overly slippery.
- Reapply as needed: Silicone lube lasts longer than water-based, but you may need to reapply during extended play. Because it’s waterproof, it won’t wash away easily. Keep the bottle nearby to top up without interrupting the moment.
- Clean up properly: Silicone lubricant does not dissolve in water alone. Use warm water and mild soap, or a dedicated toy cleaner, to remove residue from toys and skin. Avoid using silicone lube with silicone toys, as residue can be hard to remove and may cause damage.
