When daydreaming of ways to spice up your love life, did silicone lube ever cross your mind? Probably not. And yet, whether you’re planning a seductive night with your lover, or just looking for a little “me time,” the right lube can make a massive difference to your pleasure levels.
Of course, while everyone has their own personal preferences when it comes to pleasure, you may well find that some of these key features of silicone lube suit your needs:
…and if you’re looking to make your latex outfit shiny for your next fetish night? Yep, silicone lube will also help you with that!
One of the most notable benefits of silicone lube is that it’s incredibly long-lasting. This is due to the lube’s composition (typically silicone polymer dimethicone) that makes it is less susceptible to evaporation. This also means that it is not water-soluble.
As such, whether you’re planning a long and steamy session, or if you simply find that other lubes run short before you’re done, you may want to consider switching to a silicone lube instead.
Silicone lube is exceptionally easy to use, making it exceptionally popular both for couples and those looking for some quality alone time. What’s more, a little goes an exceptionally long way – so, when using silicone lube, do so sparingly to get the best results. We do recommend being a little more liberal if going for anal sex, as there’s no natural lubrication down there. Luckily, since silicone lube is so thick and smooth, it’s an ideal choice for anal.
Silicone lube is smooth to apply, and you might just find that the cool temperature itself gets you feeling excited. Silicone lube is also completely safe to use with condoms and can even be a better option for longer sessions since it won’t run dry after a few minutes; this helps ensure that the condom is less likely to tear.
When using silicone lube, our main word of warning is simple: watch out for the upholstery! It’s probably not something you’ll remember in the throes of passion, so make sure you’ve got some towels handy before you get going, as silicone lube can be harder to wash out.
To learn more about the pleasurable benefits of silicone lube, head over to our range of silicone-based lubes and see if there’s one that takes your fancy. If you’re asking us, we suggest the ID Millennium Silicone Lubricant (see picture).
The ID Millennium silicone lubricant is based on an extremely potent and powerful formula. The slip is so strong and long-lasting that only a few drops will last for hours and the lube will even stay slippery when you play under water. ID states that this lube is never sticky, never dries and never loses slip!

We love silicone lube, but there are a few scenarios when it might not be the ideal choice. The most obvious of these is with silicone-based sex toys. Indeed, over time, silicone sex toys (often the ones designed to provide a realistic feel – check the packaging if you’re not quite sure) can be damaged if exposed to silicone lubes. As such, either reach for a different sex toy – or, if you can’t get enough of that lifelike feel, use a water-based lube instead.
At this point, you may be wondering: if pre-lubricated condoms are coated with silicone lube, should I avoid silicone lube to avoid damaging the condom? Not to worry – since the condoms themselves aren’t made from silicone, silicone lube won’t damage them.
