This lube claims that it is the best of the best, and I would mostly agree! Uberlube has premium packaging and is a high-quality silicone lube, that is smooth and silky on the skin, that doesn’t become tacky. It is one of the thinner lubes in this roundup, making it feel more natural on the skin and when in use with a partner or toy. If you’re looking for a lube that would be better suited to anal activities, I would opt for a thicker more cushioning lube, such as the Pjur Back Door Anal Lube.  I have never been the biggest fan of silicone lubes, simply because I have a lot of silicone toys, and the two cannot be used together, due to risk of damage to the toy. But my head has turned when I met Uberlube. When rubbed into the skin, it feels smooth and slimy, while feeling like it is going to last an extended amount of time. After a couple seconds of rubbing lube, you can tell if it is going to be one that lasts, or one that is going to dry out very quickly – this lube feels like it is going to last forever! The small bottle is also easy to hold and the pump lid is a dream – I am a huge critic when it comes to lube packaging, as I hate lube bottles where you have to twist off the lid; I can never do it with lube on my hands! So a pump lid is the winning lid for me – its easy and accurate! Overall, Uberlube is one of the greats. I would highly recommend this silicone lube to anyone needing a little more slip in their sex life. If you are looking for a higher quality lube that you can openly display on your bedside table, then this is the product for you. 

2 Best for Beginners

Pjur Original Silicone Lube

Pjur Original Lube

  • No warming feature, taste or smell
  • FDA approved ingredients
  • Not compatible with silicone toys

  • Not tacky
  • Thinner than the other Pjur Silicone lubes
  • Easy to wash off

  • Leaves a slightly dark stain when dried
  • Screw off lid is hard to use when hands are lubed
Pjur Original Lube

If someone said to me “Describe a silicone lube”, I would hand them this bottle. It is exactly what it says it is on the bottle – It feels smooth and natural when on the skin, it is slippery enough to last long enough and it doesn’t get too tacky too fast. Pjur lubes have to be some of my favorite lubes, and this one is no exception. Pjur Original is a cheap and basic lube, that doesn’t lack in quality and performance. It has no taste or smell and has no special features – when I first tested this lube, I remember saying “The design is basic and some-what uninteresting, but the product itself is great.” I’d say that this really is one of the best beginner silicone lubes – it is very simple and easy to use, as well as providing a great experience. The bottle is the only downfall – I would say the one thing I am overly picky about in life, the bottle design of my favorite lube. Why, for a slippery product that often goes on your hands, would you put it in a smooth, plastic bottle and give it a twist off cap? It makes no sense to me, are you trying to frustrate me even more?! I would much prefer a pump lid so that I can get the product out easily. Other than that, no further complaints, it’s going in my basket! So why have I chosen this lube out of all the lubes on the market, as my best for beginners pick? We have all been a beginner at some point in our lives, heck, the first time even trying lube! I remember not wanting overwhelming, with loads of bells and whistles, I want a simple lube that does exactly what it said on the bottle, no further surprises. And the Pjur original does exactly that – a basic, good quality, silicone lube.

The ID Millenium silicone lube is one of the dark horses in the race for the best silicone lube… On first impression, I didn’t think much of this product at all. A boring, unimaginative design that looks like something I would be able to fix up in graphic design at school, I am being honest when I say I wouldn’t look twice at buying this product. But boy am I glad for learning not to judge a lube by its’ bottle design, for this lube has won my heart and of course reached my top 6 best silicone lubes roundup! It is one of the most reliable lubes I have used – a product that I don’t have to reapply often – it is long-lasting without needing reapplication, but does become tacky and sticky after some time. By now you should be aware of how important the bottle is to me, and the ID lube doesn’t disappoint – it has an easy-to-use bottle that has a click-close lid,, for ease and accuracy. I would recommend this lube for anal activities, as it is certainly thick enough! It had a very similar consistency to the Pjur Back Door anal silicone lube. I usually prefer using silicone toys, which I couldn’t do with this silicone lube, so I usually favor a water-based lube over a silicone lube. It also stained the sheets and was quite difficult to wash off the skin as it was so thick and tacky, which was annoying. Overall, if you’re a lover of thick lubes that feel high quality and smooth on the skin, then I would highly recommend this one to you!

Some of us have a sensitive downstairs area, so when using lube, you have to think about the ingredients and what is inside it, so it doesn’t throw off the pH and make it all a bit funky. That is why I had to include the Pjur woman silicone lube, a lube that has really thought about the care of a sensitive vulva. This lube doesn’t contain any ingredients like glycerin, a known ingredient for promoting bacterial growth, therefor then potentially causing an infection… no thanks! It includes vulva friendly ingredients that are sensitive to the area and don’t negatively affect it. Thanks Pjur! I have never been the biggest lover of very thick lubes, but for some reason this lube changed my mind. When in use, the Pjur Woman Silicone Lube is a high-quality lube that feels premium and luxurious on the skin. I am a big fan of the Pjur collection and this one didn’t disappoint. Unfortunately however, this lube was the tackiest out of all the Pjur lubes which isn’t something I like, as I would rather have a lube with no tack so that it feels more natural. I would have also preferred a pump lid bottle, like the Uberlube, as I find that the easiest to use out of all lid types. But I am picky on the bottle designs of lubes anyway, and Pjur haven’t been ranking well in that category anyway.

This lube could last forever – I think it feels premium and moisturizing on the skin, and I fully trust it to last long and feel comfortable during anal. I am not typically a fan of silicone lubes, but this one did impress me. The Pjur Back Door silicone lube is the one of the thickest and tackiest out of the 5 lubes in this roundup. It advertises itself as an anal lube, as it fully seals and cushions the skin and sex toys. Its packaging is similar to all the other Pjur lubes, with its familiar screw-off lid and squeezable bottle – I am a fan of pump lids, so these screw-off lids are always a disappointment for me. Pjur lubes are FDA-approved, which I always appreciate as it tells me that the product has been tested and is reliable. Overall, the Pjur Back Door lube would last as long as you do, only making you re-apply once it gets tacky. I had no doubts that this lube would last forever, as it was quite difficult to wash off, due to its high tackiness – It wasn’t budging! If you’re looking to lubricate YOUR back door, this lube is probably a great match for you!

Hybrid lubes - Are they better?

Silicone lubes can be a hot topic when it comes to what lube should be used. I think they are a pretty taboo topic, simply because they are not compatible with silicone toys, of which half the sex toy industry seems to be made up of! Yet silicone lubes should not be left on the shelf, as they can be very long lasting and soemtimes thicker, whcih is great for anal play!

Hybrid lubes - Are they better?

Hybrid lubes - Are they better?  - Hybrid lubes - Are they better?
Hybrid lubes are usually used as an alternate to water-based lubes, as they contain both water and silicone, but last longer than a pure water-based lube. There is a constant argument on which lube is the best to use; water based, hybrid or silicone. They all have pros and cons, so unfortunately there is no right answer, it is simply up to you! As a lube expert, I would always recommend a water-based lube, as they are less likely to contain glycerin and are compatible with all condom types and silicone toys. But then again, hybrid and silicone lubes tend to be thicker and last longer, so tailor it to the type of sex you are planning on having.

Why have I not mentioned pH?

Why have I not mentioned pH? - Hybrid lubes - Are they better?
Since there’s no water (H2o) in the silicone lubes, a pH reading doesn’t exist because there is no hydrogen ion activity (H+),  the hydrogen comes from the “H” part of the H2O. You will only find a pH reading on the hybrid or the water-based lube reviews.

How to Use Silicone Lubes

You may be a first timer with lubes, or an experienced slip-and-slider. None-the-less, here I have listed some facts and advice on what you can use your Silicone lube with!

With toys

With toys

You should not use a silicone lube with a silicone sex toy, as it may cause it damage, therefor affecting its performance. Use your lube with glass or metal toys – it will make the experience more comfortable by reducing friction!

With a partner

With a partner

Use a silicone lube when having sex with a partner – Place it on your hands or genitals to create a slippery barrier on the skin, making the experience smoother and wetter!

Foreplaly

Foreplaly

Using lube at the beginning of ‘freaky time’ will often help with getting yourself naturally wet – the wetter the better!

How to Clean

Some silicone lubes can be thicker than others, meaning that they can be tougher to clean off skin and fabric. Use hot soapy water when cleaning it off skin and use laundry detergent when washing it off fabric. To wash silicone lube off your sex toy, use boiling water with a neutral soap, or a sex toy cleaner, to make sure it is sterilised properly.

FAQ

Silicone lube is a personal lubricant made from silicone oil. Silicone lubes can be better for more sensitive skin, as they tend to be more slippery and moisturising. They also tend to last longer than water-based lubes and don't dry out as quickly.

A silicone lube can be used on your hands or genitals, to add lubrication to your desired spot. It can also be used with glass and metal sex toys (not silicone), as well as latex and polyurethane condoms.

Silicone lubes tend to be thicker and more cushioning, often resulting in them lasting longer. They are perfect for more intense sexual activities. Silicone lubes are often great for anal sex too, as it provides elongated lubrication to an area that doesn't naturally self-lubricate.

What is a silicone lube?

A silicone lube is a sexual lubricant that provides more lubrication to specific areas during sex. It is made out of silicon polymers, making it slippery and longer-lasting. A silicone lube is more suited to more intense sexual experiences, as it is thicker and longer-lasting, not having to be re-applied as often as a water-based lube. A silicone lube should not be used with silicone sex toys, as it may damage them, therefore affecting their performance.
