Silicone lube

  • Want a lube to use with silicone sex toys
  • Prefer a water-based lubricant
  • Need a very thick lube

Uberlube is said to be one of the top quality lubes on the market, with its premium glass bottle, its modern packaging, and its easy-to-use pump lid. This lube will provide more lubrication and help with friction during sex. It does not leave a sticky feeling after use but moisturizes the skin, making it feel soft and smooth after. It is easy to wash off the skin and doesn’t leave a stain on sheets. The pH of this lube is 6, meaning that it is more acidic. This is good as you want your lube to match your body’s natural pH, reducing the risk of an imbalance or infection. Uberlube is in the higher price bracket, but its quality of packaging and product reflect this.

  • No preservatives, fragrances, parabens, glycerin, gluten or alcohol
  • Long-lasting
  • Glides beautifully
  • Elegant glass bottle
  • Dispenses a good size portion

Condom safeSuitable for use with latex and polyisoprene condoms but not polyurethane
IngredientsDimethicone, Dimethiconol, Cyclomethicone, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)

This lube claims that it is the best of the best, and I would mostly agree! Uberlube has premium standard packaging and is a high-quality silicone lube, that is smooth and silky on the skin, but not getting tacky. It is one of the thinner lubes, 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. As well, if you would like a lube that you know you won’t have to re-apply or worry that it isn’t going to last long enough, I would recommend a lube with a higher longevity reading, like the Pjur Original Silicone Lube. 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.

ID Millenium Silicone Lube

 ID Millenium Lube

  • Like a thick, coating lube
  • Want a lube that doesn't need re-application
  • Appreciate an easy-to-use bottle

ID Millenium Lube

  • Prefer a thinner, silicone lubes
  • Want to use it with a silicone toy
  • Don't like tacky lubes

For someone who is traditionally a water-based lube lover, this silicone lube really made me change my opinion. This reasonably priced silicone lube had a premium feel to it, being thick and coated when using it with my glass sex toy. It is compatible with latex and polyurethane condoms, as well as being waterproof, as it is difficult to wash off the skin with water. The design of the packaging is simple but sleek looking, almost having a more masculine look. I really liked how easy the bottle was to squeeze, as I could easily control how much lube came out on each squeeze. This lube ticks all the boxes!

  • Felt high quality
  • Packaging was easy to use
  • Long lasting - didn't have to reapply

  • Didn't wash off skin easily
  • Not compatible with silicone toys
  • Very tacky

TextureThick and tacky
MaterialsPlastic bottle
OpeningsEasy click-close lid
Volume130ml/4.4 fl oz fl. oz
Condom safePolyurethane and latex condoms
IngredientsCyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol

The ID Millenium silicone lube is very reliable – it is long-lasting, and has a very easy-to-use bottle, just like the Pjur bottles, but it was even easier with the click-close lid! It can be used with a sex toy or a partner and I would also suggest it for anal activities, as it is 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!

3 Non-tacky

Sliquid Silver Silicone Lube

 Sliquid Silver

  • Want to use lube with a glass or metal sex toy
  • Have difficulty getting naturally wet
  • Want extra lubrication during sex
  • You want a glycerin free lube

Sliquid Silver

  • Have low strength or mobility issues in your hands
  • Like a thicker silicone lube
  • Are on a tight budget

If you’re looking for a thin, slippery silicone lube, then this might be your best bet. The Sliquid Silver lube is a thin and fast-running lube, that feels natural and smooth on the skin. This lube can be used with glass and metal toys, as well as latex and polyurethane condoms. Place the lube on your skin or toy to act as another layer, preventing friction and providing more comfort during sex. Its’ bottle is made of hard plastic, with a click-close lid, which I prefer to a screw-off lid, as I find them hard to use when my hands have lube on them! This lube has no taste but a very slight chemical smell out of the bottle. It has a high price tag, but silicone lubes tend to be more expensive than water-based lubes.

  • Very slippery
  • Not tacky
  • Left no sheet stains

  • Not thick like other silicone lubes
  • Hard bottle to squeeze
  • Chemical smell

MaterialsPlastic bottle

I think Sliquid’s Silver silicone lube is equally good and bad, with the lube itself being a great lubricant to use during sex or with a sex toy. This silicone lube is thin and watery; lube qualities that I look for and appreciate. But the packaging is what let it down – the bottle was made of thick, hard plastic of which was difficult to squeeze the lube out! It helped that the lube was so thin, so it could drip out of the bottle on its own without much squeeze effort. I really wouldn’t recommend this lube to anyone with weak hand strength. The quality of the lube was pretty good and did what it promised on the packaging. Yet for its high price tag, I don’t think it is worth it. I would recommend a cheaper lube, like the Pjur Original Silicone lube, which also had an easy squeeze bottle

4 Thickest

Pjur Woman Silicone Lube

 Pjur Woman

  • Are looking for a female-targeted lube
  • Have sensitive skin
  • Want a lube that will last in water
  • Like your lube to be thicker

Pjur Woman

  • Like thinner lubes
  • Want to use a silicone toy
  • Want a more masculine lube

The Pjur Woman Silicone Lube is a high-quality silicone lube that feels premium when using it. This lube has a high viscosity, being one of the thickest in the collection. It felt long-lasting and coated my sex toy well, lasting for a long period! It didn’t become dry like some water-based lubes, which was great! The bottle was simple and the branding was boring, but it was pretty easy to use – the bottle was made of thin, flexible plastic. This lube is FDA-approved, letting me know that it is a trustworthy lube that has been put through proper tests. It works with glass and metal toys, as well as all types of condoms, as well as having a great pH reading, so I wasn’t worried about my body’s pH levels being affected.

  • High quality product
  • Smooth and thick
  • Not sticky
  • Long lasting

  • Twist off lid is hard when hands are slippery
  • Very similar to Pjur Original
  • Didn't notice the 'female' benefits

WaterproofCan be used for a short time
MaterialsPlastic bottle
Volume3.4 floz/ 100ml fl. oz

Ingredients Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol

The Pjur Woman Silicone lube was up there being one of my favorites. It felt so smooth and moisturizing on the skin, perfect for sensitive skin. It felt natural and soft when using it with a partner; I trusted it to last as long as I did. I am not a lover of thick lubes, and this lube had the perfect viscosity to it.  I am a big fan of the Pjur lube collection and this one didn’t disappoint. 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. The bottle was easy to use and squeeze out, as it wasn’t made of hard plastic, like the Sliquid bottles. I would have preferred a pump lid bottle, like the Uberlube, as I find that the easiest to use out of all lid types. Go and buy it!

Pjur Original Silicone Lube

 Pjur Original Lube

  • Want a cheap lube
  • Appreciate a soft lube on the skin
  • Want a basic but good quality lube

Pjur Original Lube

  • Want a lube with special features
  • Want to use a silicone toy
  • Don't want a screw top lid

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 is smooth and soft on the skin, with an average viscosity – not being too thick or too thin. It has no taste or smell and has no special features – it is a very standard silicone lube. Its branding and packaging are simple, somewhat boring, yet recognizable. It is FDA-approved like all Pjur lubes, but has a higher pH reading of 7, making it more neutral than the other Pjur silicone lubes. I would have liked a more acidic lube, as they carry less risk of affecting my body’s natural pH balance. The twist-off lid is challenging to use if you have lubed-up hands, so leave the lid off when mid-way through use.

  • 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. The bottle is easy enough to use; being easy to squeeze out enough lube to the desired areas. It’s perfect for those on a budget, but still not wanting a bad lube. I don’t have a lot bad to say! Sure, I would prefer a pump lid and maybe a more exciting packaging design, but those are minor points. It is very similar to the Pjur Woman silicone lube; having the same feel to it when on the skin. Not many complaints, it’s going in my basket!

6 Anal

Pjur Back Door Silicone Anal Lube

 Pjur Back Door Lube

  • Want a lube for anal activities
  • Want a thick, tacky lube
  • Want a lube from a reliable brand

Pjur Back Door Lube

  • Want an easy to wash off lube
  • Want to use a silicone sex toy
  • Want a lube with different sensations

The Pjur Back Door silicone lube is the one of the thickest and tackiest out of the 6 lubes in this roundup. It advertises itself as an anal lube, as it fully seals and cushions the skin and sex toys. It has a neutral pH reading of 7, which is a great reading for an anal product, as the anus has a neutral pH balance itself. 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. 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!

  • Creates a thick coating
  • Long-lasting
  • No re-application needed

  • High tackiness
  • A heavy lube that feels slightly unnatural
Pjur Back Door Lube
TextureThick and tacky
IngredientsDimethicone, Demethiconol, Sommindsia Chinesis (Jojoba) seed oil, Amyris Balsamifera Bark oil
Condom safeLatex and polyurethane
WaterproofFor a short time
Volume100ml fl. oz

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. But the packaging lets it down. I always like a bottle that matches the quality of the product, like the ID Millenium silicone lube, but I don’t think this one does. The design is fun but looks a little tacky, and putting such a premium-feeling product inside a plastic bottle is a letdown. Overall, the Pjur Back Door lube would last as long as you do, only making you reapply once it gets tacky. If you’re looking to lubricate YOUR back door, this lube is probably a great match for you!

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.
