All sex toys are fun to play with and to top it all off, the insertable ones are induced with an additional dose of pleasure. As exciting as it is to incorporate sex toys in your regiment, using them sometime requires some outside assistance, especially the insertable ones. This is where lubricants come in.

About Silicone Lubricants
When it comes to a lubricant that will last as long as your sex shenanigans, silicone lubricants top every single list. The most popular and the safest lubricant, silicone lubes are known for their thick density, exceptional endurance, and hypoallergenic qualities. Silicone lubes are compatible with all kinds of sex toys and material which means that your expensive pleasure buddies will always be safe and secure. Condom safe, toy safe, and skin safe, the list of benefits that silicone lubricant brings to the table.
The fact is that silicone lubricant was initially manufactured by condom manufacturers as all lubes were not compatible with condoms and resulted in breakage. But as it turns out, silicone lubricants are good to be used with literally any kind of sex toy along with condoms. This versatility of silicone lubes makes it worth it to spend a bit more than other kinds of lubes require.
Types of Silicone Lubricants
The classification of silicone lubricants is done based on their use. Sometimes flavors are also a part of this classification but it is seldom the case with silicone lubricants. Still, there are a few basic types that you can choose from depending on what and where you plan to use it.
- Vaginal Sex Lubes: Perfect for people who have vaginal shyness or face a few difficulties in producing natural lubricant, vaginal sex silicone lubricants are the ideal solution to avoid dry sex and the pain that comes with it. Some silicone-based lubricants also contain a hybrid base that makes them unsafe to be used with condoms but a good choice for vaginal sex toys. If you are getting the lube to be used during vaginal sex partially or exclusively, then make sure that the variant that you choose is completely silicone-based and has no traces of oil or jelly.
- Anal Sex Silicone Lubes: Anus is completely incapable of producing any kind of lubrication no matter how aroused you are. This makes lubricants a necessity and not just a helping hand. Silicone lubricants for anal sex are made to last long enough to provide lubrication when you insert the anal plug and last till its time to remove it. The endurance and hypoallergenic quality of anal lubes are better than any other kind of lube since those are the requirements of the hour.
- Masturbation Silicone Lubricant: Masturbating requires optimum lubrication just like sex, whether it is a male contender that is concerned or the female one. Lack of lubrication may result in damaging the skin of a penis due to excessive friction that takes place when performing a handjob and the same goes for females, whether they choose penetration as a way to masturbate to clitoral stimulation.
- Masturbation Toys Lubes: Pleasuring yourself with toys sometimes require a tab more in terms of assistance and security. Depending on the material of your sex toys, silicone lubricants can come in a lot handier than initially anticipated. Silicone lubes are ideal to be used with plastic, metal, glass, wood, and other hard-surfaced toys.
Choosing the best Silicone Lube for Yourself
There are a few important things one must consider before investing in any kind of lubricant so that what you buy fits every single one of your needs. The following are some of the points to check before you pick from the options.
- Type of Sex: Silicone lubricant should be your top choice for anal sex as there is zero natural lubrication in that case. Vaginal sex can be tricky as there are times when the vagina produces enough lubrication to go without an artificial lube and then there are times when there is nothing to work with. Knowing the body of your partner and her preference is very important here. Talk to your lady and figure out the level of endurance you would require from your silicone lube.
- Cleaning: Silicone lubes are difficult to clean. It can be hard enough to clean them from your body itself, let alone the furniture and the linen. Again, have a word with your partner about this. Cleaning of the penis may be easy but removing lube from the vagina or the anus can be a hassle, especially if it is to be done frequently.
- Frequency: Since it is quite tricky to clean silicone lube, it is may not be a good idea to use it very frequently. Toggling between water and silicone-based lubes can be a good solution if you and your partner are someone who likes to hit it more times than just on weekends.
- Kinds of Sex Toys: Silicone lubricants should not be used with silicone sex toys. Determine the kinds of sex toys you have to make sure that you do not end up spoiling them. Metal, glass, hard plastic, and wood sex toys are good to go with silicone lubes.
- Price: Find the best silicone lubricants that can be a bit pricier than other water or oil-based lubricants. Although, there are various price ranges for you to pick from so you can easily get a variant that not only suits your needs but also fits your budget.
- Fragrance and Flavor: Some variants of silicone lubricants come flavored or scented. If you and your partner plan to indulge in oral sex then you can think about getting a flavored one to make things more exciting.
Using a Silicone Lubricant
Start small. Silicone lubes are known for their endurance and consistency so even a very small amount can be more than enough for your targeted users. If you take out more than the required amount, you will end up spilling it on furniture and sheets and it will take ages to clean it out. Start small and add gradually if required. Smaller quantity will also help you determine if your skin shows any allergic reactions to the lube and clean easily if anything surfaces. Try adding a bit more to the usual quantity of the lube that you use for sex when playing with sex toys as there will not be any natural lubrication to assist you there.
