Silicone-based lubricants

What are silicone-based lubricants?

Silicone-based lubricants are care products designed to provide long-lasting, smooth gliding without drying out quickly. They belong to the daily care category and are particularly suitable for applications where a longer-lasting lubricating effect is desired – even in moist environments such as in the shower or bath.

Silicone-based lubricants differ from water-based variants primarily in their longer lubrication time and high resistance to water .

Typical properties of silicone-based lubricants

• Long-lasting lubrication effect that is significantly more stable compared to water-based gels

• Smooth, silky texture for comfortable gliding

• Very low evaporation, which makes reapplication or re-moisturizing less frequent.

• Compatible with many body areas and specific applications, but not always with all toy materials (check manufacturer's specifications)

Advantages of silicone-based lubricants

• Longer-lasting lubricating effect – ideal for applications where long-lasting gliding is desired

• A nourishing feeling that doesn't dry out quickly

• Particularly suitable for humid environments such as showers or bathtubs

• Often richer than water-based variants

• Usually leaves fewer marks on the skin

Ingredients & Quality

Silicone-based lubricants are made from high-quality, skin-friendly silicones . They generally contain no water-soluble components, which contributes to their long-lasting lubricating effect .

Many formulations are also skin-nourishing and free from unnecessary fragrances or dyes – this can be particularly beneficial for sensitive skin.

How to find the right lubricant

• Consider how long you need a lasting lubricating effect .

• If you intend to use the product in humid environments (shower, bathtub), silicone-based versions may offer advantages.

• Pay attention to compatibility with toys – some materials do not react ideally with silicone.

• Choose skin-friendly formulations if you have sensitive skin.

Application – Tips for greater comfort

• Apply a small amount of lubricant to the desired area or on

• You can reapply if needed, as silicone-based lubricants are not absorbed as quickly.

• Make sure that the lubricant does not get onto textiles, as it may be more difficult to remove there.

Cleaning & Care – Hygienic & Long-Lasting

• Silicone-based lubricants are not always easy to remove with water alone – a mild, fragrance-free soap can help.

• After cleaning, allow the skin or toys to dry completely.

• Store lubricant in a clean, dry place away from light to preserve quality and shelf life.
