Have you been looking for a new type of lube to shake up your bedroom routine? If so, why not consider a hybrid lubes – the “jack of all trades” when it comes to sexual lubricant, both for partnered and solo play.
However, before you jump right in and invest in a brand new hybrid lube to add to your X-rated collection, we highly recommend you consider the following points.
As the name would suggest, hybrid lubes are a blend of two different types: water-based and silicone-based lube. With this in mind, they offer similar features to both of these varieties, which could help you in your pleasure-seeking goals.
Some of the key features of hybrid lubes that we most appreciate include the following:
In short, hybrid lube offers a best-of-both-worlds solution. They’re usually safe to use with most sex toys, and they also offer long-lasting slick that’ll cover your whole sex session (unless you’re going for a marathon event, in which case don’t be afraid to reapply).
A little goes a long way with hybrid lubes, so start with a small amount and work your way up. Hybrid lube can be used with confidence a little more liberally for anal play. In this case, make sure the whole area is well-coated, including the inner and outer rim and surrounding skin. When in doubt, add more.
Fortunately, though somewhat of a “specialty” product at present, hybrid lubes are becoming more and more popular. They could be an excellent option to consider if you’ve been divided on water- and silicone-based lubes thus far.

It’s easy to assume that hybrid lubes can be used in any scenario. However, the reality isn’t quite so clear-cut. Indeed, while hybrid lubes are generally a safe bet for sex, some toy manufacturers will tell you to steer clear of any lube that contains silicone altogether, so check first. If you’re not sure, do a patch test before using hybrid lube on your most prized silicone sex toys.
In addition, while hybrid lubes can be washed off more easily than silicone lubes, you should still aim to clean sheets and other fabrics quickly, as hybrids are more prone to leave stains than water-based lubes.
