Silicone Lubes
Silicone-based lubes feel supremely soft. The glide is extremely smooth and it never dries out, so you can keep going as long as you like. Silicone-based lube is great for sex as well as intimate massage. You can also use it with sex toys made of glass and metal, but not silicone.
Silicone Lubes – Long-Lasting, Smooth and Reliable
Why Choose Silicone-Based Lube?
Silicone lube is a great choice if you want a silky, long-lasting glide that doesn’t dry out quickly. It’s especially popular for anal play, longer sessions and use in the shower, as it stays slippery on the skin for a long time. Many people also like it for external massage and foreplay because it feels soft and luxurious.
At Sinful, we stock lubes from trusted names like Pjur, Überlube and Easyglide which are known for quality ingredients and reliable performance. These brands focus on skin-friendly formulas and a pleasant feel, so you can concentrate on enjoying yourself rather than worrying about irritation.
Silicone vs Water-Based – What’s the Difference?
The main difference between silicone lubricant and water-based lube is how long they last and how they feel. Silicone based lube doesn’t absorb into the skin as quickly, so you usually need a smaller amount and don’t have to reapply as often. It also tends to feel smoother and more “silky” on the skin. It is especially great for anal play where you’ll often need extra glide.
Water-based options are easier to wash off and are safe to use with all toy materials. If you want to check out these options as well, you can explore our water-based lubes here.
What to use with sex toys?
One important point: silicone lube is usually not recommended with silicone sex toys, as it can affect the surface of the toy over time. For those, a water-based product is normally the safer match.
Silicone based lube is, however, excellent with glass, metal and hard plastic toys, where it gives a very smooth glide and doesn’t dry out quickly.
If you like to switch between different types of play, you might find it useful to keep both a silicone and a water-based option in your drawer.
Skin Feel and Tips for Clean-Up
Silicone lubricant tends to feel very soft and almost “velvety” on the skin. Many people with dryness or sensitivity appreciate that it doesn’t disappear quickly and can reduce friction effectively.
Good-quality silicone lubricant should feel silky rather than sticky. It sits on the surface of the skin, creating a smooth, gliding layer. If you find a silicone lube feels tacky, it’s often because too much has been used – a little really does go a long way.
Because it’s water-resistant, it doesn’t rinse off with just a quick splash. You’ll usually need warm water and a bit of mild soap, or a gentle washcloth, to remove the last traces from the skin. Some people enjoy that it leaves a slightly moisturised feel afterwards.
Choosing the Best Silicone Lube for You
When you’re picking a silicone lubricant, it helps to think about:
- Use: Anal, vaginal, external massage or a mix of everything
- Application / bottle type: Classic bottle or silicone lubricant spray, depending on what you find easiest
- Ingredients: If your skin tends to be reactive, it’s wise to check the ingredient list and choose a perfume-free option.
- Extra stimulation: If you want a warming or cooling effect
If you want a smooth, all-round option for both solo and couples’ play, Sinful Silk Silicone Lube 100 ml is a perfect everyday choice. It offers a soft, silky feel on the skin and works well for both intimate contact and body massage.
For anal sex, a popular choice is the Pjur Back Door Glide Silicone Anal Lube 100 ml, which is known for its rich texture and long-lasting formula.
