Quick answer
Apply a small amount of Silk Deluxe Lubricant to the desired area and reapply as needed. Because it is silicone-based, avoid using it with silicone toys unless you have confirmed compatibility with the manufacturer.
Why silicone-based lubricant behaves differently
Silicone lubricants like Silk Deluxe are known for lasting longer than water-based options, but they can degrade certain silicone toy materials. Always check your toy’s care instructions before pairing. If you are unsure, test a small drop on an inconspicuous area of the toy first, or choose a water-based lubricant for silicone toys.
When to skip silicone lubricant
Avoid Silk Deluxe if you or your partner are sensitive to silicone or if you are using a silicone toy that is not labeled compatible. Also, silicone lubricant is not recommended for use with latex condoms unless the condom manufacturer explicitly says it is safe.
Step-by-step application
- Check compatibility: Confirm that your toy or condom is compatible with silicone lubricant. If not, use a water-based lubricant instead. When in doubt, test a small amount on the toy’s base before full use.
- Start with a small amount: Dispense a pea-sized amount onto your fingers or the area you intend to lubricate. Remember that silicone lubricant spreads easily and a little goes a long way. Add more only if needed; excess can be slippery to clean up.
- Apply evenly: Gently massage the lubricant onto the skin or toy until it is evenly distributed. Avoid getting lubricant on floors or surfaces where it could create a slip hazard. Keep a towel nearby to wipe any drips immediately.
- Reapply as desired: Silicone lubricant lasts longer than water-based, but you can add more if you feel friction returning. A little extra is usually sufficient. If you need frequent reapplication, check whether the lubricant is being absorbed by the toy material.
- Clean up properly: Wash toys and skin with warm water and mild soap. Silicone lubricant can be slippery, so clean surfaces thoroughly to avoid residue. Store the bottle upright and closed to prevent leaks.
