Silicone Lube

Uberlube is one of the best-known silicone lubricants, valued for a silky glide that lasts without turning sticky. Alongside it you will find silicone lube from Pjur, ID Lubricants, Swiss Navy and Sliquid, with prices from $20. Silicone formulas stay slick longer than water-based ones and do not wash away in water. The guide below explains when to use them and which toys to avoid.

How to choose silicone lube

Silicone based lube is the long-lasting option. It needs fewer reapplications, stays slippery in the shower and feels smooth rather than wet. It suits anal play, massage and anyone who finds that water-based lube dries too fast.

Silicone lube with toys

This is the question we hear most. Silicone lube can react with some silicone toys and leave the surface tacky or pitted. To be safe, use silicone lube with toys made of glass, stainless steel or hard ABS plastic. With silicone toys, reach for water-based lube or patch test a drop on the base of the toy first.

Pure or blended formulas

  • Pure silicone: the longest lasting, often with only a few ingredients. Uberlube is a well-known example.
  • Enriched silicone: some formulas add vitamin E or a light scent.
  • Hybrid lube: part water, part silicone, for a creamier feel that rinses away more easily.

The best silicone lube for you is usually the simplest formula that feels comfortable on your skin.

Condoms, cleanup and storage

Silicone lubricants are safe with latex and polyisoprene condoms. Because they resist water, clean up with warm water and soap. Silicone can make shower floors and sheets slippery, so wipe spills promptly. A pump or flip cap bottle helps you control the amount.

Other lube options

For anal play with extra cushion, see our anal lube collection. For oral sex, flavored lube is the better pick, since silicone has no taste and is not meant to be swallowed in quantity.

Silicone Lube: common questions

Is Uberlube silicone based?
Yes. Uberlube is a silicone-based lubricant with a short ingredient list that includes silicone and a small amount of vitamin E. It feels silky, lasts a long time and does not get sticky. Like other silicone lubes, it pairs best with glass, metal or hard plastic toys.
Can you use silicone lube with silicone toys?
It depends on the toy. Silicone lube can react with some silicone toys and damage the surface. To check, apply a drop to the base and wait a few minutes. If it turns sticky or dull, do not use it. Water-based lube is always safe with silicone toys.
Is silicone lube safe with condoms?
Yes. Silicone lube is safe with latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms. Unlike oil-based products, it does not weaken latex. It also works well for longer sessions because it does not dry out, which helps reduce the friction that can contribute to condom breakage.
How do you wash off silicone lube?
Silicone lube does not rinse away with water alone. Wash skin with warm water and soap, and use a little dish soap on hard surfaces such as shower floors. For fabric, pretreat stains with dish soap before laundering. Clean toys with a toy cleaner or mild soap.
