Pleasure & Intimacy

If you have only ever used water-based lubricant, silicone lube will feel like a genuine revelation. Silky, long-lasting, and requiring far less reapplication than any water-based formula, silicone-based lubricant is widely considered the premium choice for intercourse, extended sessions, and any situation where you want lubrication that simply stays put.

At Pleasure & Intimacy, our silicone lube collection brings together the best formulas available — from everyday favourites to specialist anal and warming silicone options — all body-safe, all from brands we trust.

Why choose silicone-based lubricant?

Silicone lubricant has a fundamentally different texture to water-based formulas — thicker, more cushioning, and with a silky glide that does not absorb into the skin or dry out mid-session. Where a water-based lube might need reapplying every few minutes during longer play, a silicone formula can last the entire session without a top-up. It is also completely waterproof, making it the only lubricant worth considering for shower, bath, or pool play — water simply does not wash it away.

For people who experience vaginal dryness, silicone lube's long-lasting, non-absorbent properties make it a particularly comfortable and effective choice. It is also hypoallergenic and free from the glycerine and parabens found in many water-based formulas, making it well-tolerated by sensitive skin.

Silicone lube and toy compatibility — the one rule you need to know

Silicone lubricant is not compatible with silicone sex toys. The two materials interact at a molecular level, causing the toy's surface to become tacky, degraded, or permanently damaged over time. If your toy is made from silicone, use a water-based lubricant instead. If your toy is made from glass, metal, hard plastic, or ABS plastic, silicone lube is an excellent and fully compatible choice.

When in doubt, do a patch test — apply a small amount of silicone lube to an inconspicuous part of the toy and wait a few minutes. If the surface changes texture or becomes sticky, switch to water-based.

Silicone lube for anal play

Silicone's long-lasting, cushioning properties make it particularly well-suited to anal play. The anus produces no natural lubrication, and the thicker consistency of silicone lube reduces friction more effectively and for longer than most water-based alternatives. Our silicone anal lube range includes the JO Premium Anal Warming Silicone and the RIDE Booty Buzz — both specifically formulated for anal use with additional cushioning properties.

Silicone lube for massage

Silicone lubricant doubles beautifully as a massage oil — its non-absorbent, long-lasting glide makes it ideal for full-body sensual massage, and it leaves skin feeling soft rather than greasy. Use it as a standalone massage product or transition naturally from massage into play without needing to reach for a second product.

Silicone lube for water play

This is where silicone lube is uniquely effective. Water-based lubricants wash away almost immediately in the shower or bath — silicone lube does not. If water play is part of your regular intimate life, a silicone formula is the practical and pleasurable choice.

How to clean up silicone lube

Silicone lube does not wash off with water alone — use a small amount of soap to break it down during clean-up. The same applies to your toys: wash silicone-compatible toys with warm water and toy cleaner after use. Browse our sex toy cleaners collection for the right product.
