Quick answer
Choose water-based lube for use with silicone toys and for easy cleanup. Choose silicone lube for longer-lasting slickness and water-resistant play.
Why lube choice matters for your toys
Using the wrong lube can damage your silicone sex toys or ruin the sensation you're after. Water-based and silicone lubes have different properties that affect glide, longevity, and compatibility.
Key differences at a glance
Water-based lube feels natural, rinses off with water, and works with all toy materials. Silicone lube stays slick longer and is water-resistant, but it can degrade silicone toys over time.
Trade-offs between water-based and silicone lube
- Water-based lube: Feels natural, rinses off with water, safe for all toy materials including silicone. May need reapplication during longer sessions.
- Silicone lube: Stays slick much longer, works well in water, but can damage silicone toys. Not recommended for silicone anal plugs or silicone vibrators. Always check toy material before using silicone lube.
- Mixed use caution: Do not mix water-based and silicone lubes. If you switch, clean the toy thoroughly between applications.
