If you're one of the millions of people who own a silicone sex toy, chances are you're going to want to keep it functioning as it should. No surprise really - not only do silicone toys feel great, but silicone is also a premium sex toy material, so it makes sense to protect the investment in your sex life by using the right lube.

The trouble is, there are literally thousands of lubricants on the market - and that's before you explore other substances and products that can be used as lube. How can you tell whether your chosen lube is going to be compatible with your toy without applying it and hoping for the best?

Fortunately, the team of experts at The Enhanced Male is here to help. In this guide, we'll talk about the best kind of lube for sex toys made of silicone. We'll also explore 10 of the best lube options on the market in 2024 - which means less time researching and more time enjoying your toy!

The Best Lube for Silicone Sex Toys: The Basics

Before we jump in and look at specific products, there are some lubricant fundamentals that it's important to cover if you're the owner of a silicone toy.

• There are some lubes that should not be used with silicone toys.
• Oil-based lubes are very difficult to clean and can therefore cause bacteria to build up - either on the toy or internally. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you avoid the use of oil-based products with sex toys.
• Secondly, silicone lube is unsuitable for use with silicone toys because the two kinds of silicone will react with each other, significantly damaging your toy. Again, avoid using silicone lube with a silicone sex toy.
• Water-based lubes are perfect for use with silicone toys. They are easy to clean, perfectly safe to use internally and externally, and will not damage your toy. If you prefer a lube that's slightly longer-lasting, it's also safe to use a hybrid lube with your silicone sex toys. Although hybrid lubes contain a little silicone, there is not enough to cause any damage.

If you'd like some more in-depth information about the suitability of different lubes with silicone toys - we've created a dedicated FAQs section below that covers everything you need to know.

Sliquid H2O Lube Water-Based Natural Lubricant

Sliquid H2O Water-Based Lube is a 100% Natural, completely Vegan lube that's unflavored, unscented, and very easy to clean up. It's completely free of any harmful chemical additives and is also pH balanced, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

Although slightly thinner than most other lubes on this list, it's still extremely long-lasting, so you don't have to worry about trying to find your bottle and interrupting a fun session.

As a water-based product, Sliquid H20 lube is perfectly safe to use with all sex toy materials. In fact, it works especially well with masturbators and sleeves - the thinner consistency feels extremely lifelike, which is perfect if you want to lay back, close your eyes, and daydream about sex with a partner.

Lynk Pleasure Water-Based Sex Lube & Anal Lubricant

Lynk Pleasure's Water-Based Sex Lube and Anal Lubricant is a thicker-consistency lube that's suitable for sex toys, use with condoms, and is free from any oils, glycerin, and parabens. Being thicker, this non-staining lube is also great for anal sex.

Water-based products can sometimes be a little thin, which means you'll have to reapply them fairly regularly. As well as staying power - a thicker lube is perfect for sex toys too - since it'll stand up well to any thrusting or gripping from your toy.

Lynk Pleasure has built a reputation for using exceptional ingredients in their range of lubes too. Created in an FDA-approved lab here in the U.S., the team has made sure there are no oils, glycerin, or parabens - making it absolutely perfect for sensitive skin on or around your genitals.

Feedback From Our Testers

• Doesn't become sticky or tacky lick some thick lubes

Gun Oil H2O Water-Based Personal Lubricant

Gun Oil H2O Water-Based Lube is a premium lube made with high-quality ingredients. It's a long-lasting product that's suitable for use with condoms and sex toys and even has a range of additives that leave your skin feeling hydrated after you've used it.

Although the Gun Oil brand is probably most well known for its oil-based lubes, the brand also makes a range of other lubes - and their H20 Water-Based Personal Lube a standout. Despite being water-based, H20 Lube lasts a long time, and just a few drops are all that's needed to get you or your toy super-slick.

While Gun Oil products, including this one, tend to be more expensive than other lubes, a quick look at the ingredients list explains why. Every ingredient is very high-quality - and there are a range of additions in there that will make your experience even more luxurious. The added vitamin E and aloe vera leave your skin feeling fresh and revitalized after use - so you don't feel like you have to shower it off immediately.

You'll also find both ginseng and guarana extract on the list, as well as the moisturizing elements. Both of these ingredients are considered to enhance blood flow - and some of our testers felt like they just added that extra bit of sensation to their toy play as a result.

So, don't panic about the name! With zero oil in the blend, Gun Oil H20 Lubricant is an excellent addition to your silicone toy play - it won't degrade your toys, it will leave your skin feeling great, and it's super-slick and long-lasting to boot.

Feedback From Our Testers

• Perfect for use with silicone toys
• Thin consistency feels really natural
• Leaves your skin feeling really good after use
• Quite expensive compared to most others
• Lasts longer than lots of other water lubes

System Jo H2O Warming Water-Based Lube For Sex

System JO H2O Warming Lube is a water-based lube that feels warm when applied - giving a lifelike sensation even when using toys. The body-safe ingredients and FDA approval ensure that it's suitable for all skin types too.

While silicone is a great material for sex toys, it isn't a great conductor of heat - which means silicone toys can sometimes lack an ultra-realistic feeling that adds to the experience of using a toy. System JO has created a great solution to this problem with their H2O Warming Lubricant. Add a little to your toy or your genitals, and you'll quickly feel the warming lube coming to life. When applied to a toy, it really gives the impression of body heat, which will almost always enhance the experience.

In terms of the lube itself, System JO knows what they're doing. It's slick, it's long-lasting, and it doesn't go tacky over time - which means no need for reapplication and trying to deal with a slick bottle. If you do find the warming sensation wearing off a little, just blowing on the lube brings it back to life and gives that glorious warm feeling again.

Now, the fact that the System JO warming lube is FDA-approved, made in the U.S., and only includes excellent ingredients makes it a premium lube in terms of cost - but if your budget allows, this is a fantastic product that will take your sex toy use to new levels.

Feedback From Our Testers

• Warming sensation really adds to the experience of a silicone toy
• Lube itself is very slick and seems to last a long time
• Warming sensation might not be for everyone
• A little more expensive than non-warming alternatives
• Great choice of bottle sizes

Fleshlight Fleshlube Water-Based Lubricant For Masturbators

Fleshlight Fleshlube is a very natural feeling premium lubricant that's designed for use with Fleshlights but is equally good with silicone toys too. With no strong taste or smell, it offers a smooth and lifelike experience. It's also hypoallergenic, so it's perfectly safe for use on sensitive skin.

When a sex toy manufacturer releases a lube that's designed especially for their products, it's normal to be a little cynical. After all, is a Fleshlight lube really any better than the hundreds of other suitable products out there in 2024? Turns out the answer is yes - the Fleshlight brand has put a lot of research and development into making a lube that's perfect for use with masturbators and sex toys in general.

It makes sense - this is the same company that creates toys that are designed to be as close to real anatomy as possible.

A big plus for Fleshlight lube is the fact that it doesn't have a strong smell or taste. Since natural lubricant doesn't smell or taste anything, this replicates that real experience. As well as the extremely natural feel, it's also designed to be completely hypoallergenic - so you can be absolutely confident it's not going to irritate you when you play.

All told this is a great lube that feels perfect, doesn't detract from masturbation in any way, and works just as well with a real person or another silicone toy as it does with a Fleshlight. It's also extremely easy to clean - which is good news when it comes to keeping your toys in perfect condition.

Feedback From Our Testers

• Perfectly safe for all silicone and TPE/TPR toys
• Very slick feeling - not tacky or sticky at all
• No taste or smell makes it feel very natural
• Great for sensitive skin
• A little more expensive than non-Fleshlight lubes

Pros and Cons

Jizz Flavored & Scented Water-Based Lube for Sex by Master Series

Master Series Jizz Lube is a specialist lubricant designed to look, smell, and taste like semen. It's suited to squirting dildos but also works well as an all-round lube. It's a great addition to playing with silicone toys if you want the 'messy' sensation of post-orgasm sex play.

While all the lubes on this list are excellent for use with sex toys, it's harder to find one that really recreates the messy fun of real sex - especially if you're looking for a lube to fill a squirting dildo with. This is where the Master Series Jizz Flavored and Scented Lube really stands out.

The fact that the lube is totally water-based makes it perfectly safe to use with all your toys - so no worries there. What's more, the color and consistency are almost exactly the same as semen, so if you're looking for amazing authenticity, you're in exactly the right place. Master Series Jizz lube is so convincing we're certain you'd never tell the difference if you used it for some naughty photos or videos.

Now, in terms of the smell and the taste, not all our testers were convinced. While some said it was perfect, others commented that it smelled and tasted a little sweet. That said, it's not intended for consumption in any real quantity, so if you end up with a little in your mouth after oral, this probably won't bother you.

Aside from the very realistic visual effect, it has to be said that this is a great lube. The semen look doesn't come at the expense of slickness or longevity - so you don't have to be worried about going through a bottle too quickly. Sure, it's a bit more expensive than non-jizz lubes, but if you want realism, Master Series Jizz Lube is a great choice.

Feedback From Our Testers

• Very good all-round lube
• Long-lasting and slick, which is hard to find in water-based products
• The smell is fairly authentic, very close to real semen
• Taste might be overly sweet and sickly for some people
• Good for use in squirting toys - great consistency
• Gets even better when slightly warmed up - very realistic

Titanmen Hydro Play Water-Based Glide Lubricant for Men

If you're looking through this list of lubes and hoping for something super simple that's just a great lube, TitanMen has got you covered. No scent, no odor, no numbing effects, and no warming/cooling sensation - just a super slick, thick lube that gets the job done.

When you read about how simple TitanMen's Hydro Play lube is, you could be forgiven for thinking it's boring - but it's anything but. It's thick, long-lasting, and feels fantastic - so if you just want to forget about lube and enjoy your silicone toy as intended, then a bottle of this is ideal. What's more, the pump action top makes it really easy to use - no handling the bottle with slippy hands.

The fact that the TitanMen Hydro lube is so thick makes it perfect if you're enjoying a little anal play with your silicone sex toys. Anal is typically tighter than vaginal sex, so you might find that thinner lubes become displaced more easily. This doesn't - it stays in place to make your play as comfortable as possible.

Now, we shouldn't forget the price either. An 8 or 32-oz bottle of lube from a reputable brand like TitanMen is a steal - especially when it lasts so well. If the no-scent, no-effect, no-color product sounds like the right choice for you - this is a no-brainer.

Feedback From Our Testers

• Great to find a scent-free, flavor-free, simple lube
• Very long-lasting thanks to the thickness
• Thick consistency makes it great for anal
• Some people might consider it a little boring
• The pump action top is super-convenient

Fleshlight Fire Water-Based Warming Personal Lubricant

Fleshlight Fire Water is a water-based lube that's designed to warm slightly when used with toys or applied to the skin. It's a natural-feeling lube - and the warming element adds realism. It's also hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested - making it suitable for sensitive skin.

We've already featured a Fleshlight lube on this list and noted that the brand doesn't just apply its name to just any basic lube - instead, making very slick and natural-feeling sexual lubricants that work perfectly with a range of toys. Fire-Water lube from Fleshlight is more of this same effective lube - but offers even more realism.

By adding skin-safe and nourishing honeysuckle extract, Fleshlight has created a lube that adds another level of realism to often-cold silicone toys. Whether you're inserting or penetrating your toy, this makes it feel less lifeless and far more realistic. What's more, Fleshlight has got the level of warmth just right - so you can expect the feeling of natural wetness with just the right body heat level.

In terms of the performance of the lube, every one of our testers was more than happy. Very slick, with just the right consistency, and no need for constant replication. If you feel the warmth fading a little - just a little blow of your breath brings the heat back again.

Sure, Fire Water is at the top of the lubes here in terms of cost - but if you're longing for that extra-realism from your toy to make it feel just like real sex, then you really won't be disappointed with your investment.

Feedback From Our Testers

• Great consistency, feels very natural
• The level of warmth is just right and adds a lot of realism to the toys
• Easy to clean from silicone toys
• Would be nice to have different bottle sizes

Swiss Navy Lube Water-Based Sex Lubricant

Swiss Navy's Water-Based Lube is one of the thickest on this list - making it perfect if you're looking for a thicker lube, especially for anal. Completely scent and flavor-free, it's a basic lube with a long-lasting consistency that's hypoallergenic and both condom and silicone-toy-friendly.

We've talked a lot about thin water-based lubricants in this list - but not everyone's looking for an ultra-thin product. If you like the sensation of a thicker lube when you're playing with your toys, Swiss Navy Water-Based is the lube for you in 2024.

When you use the handy lockable bottle top, the lube comes out like a thick gel. Friction and movement loosen it up a little, but this extra thickness helps to keep it in place, so the need to reapply is reduced. If you're a fan of anal toys, you'll know that it's important to keep them well lubricated, so this thicker consistency helps the lube to stay in place as you have fun.

Some lubes feel like you need to hop in the shower to wash the residue off - but since it's unscented and hypoallergenic, you just don't get that after-effect.

If a thicker lube works for you and the kind of play you enjoy, this one's a sure-fire winner. The thicker formulation also stands up to shower sex a little better than others too - it'll still wash off with direct water, but the thickness helps it last a little longer.

Feedback From Our Testers

• The thick consistency feels great and doesn't need a lot of reapplication
• Great for use with anal toys as it stays in place
• No waterproof - but it doesn't wash away quickly like thinner lubes do
• Not everyone will like the thick gel consistency

Water-Based Sex Lube By Healthy Vibes Lubricants

Another thicker-consistency lube, Water-Based Sex Lube by Healthy Vibes is great for comfortable anal or people looking for long-lasting sex lube. It's a premium lube that's condom and silicone-toy-friendly - as well as being non-staining and easy to clean.

Like the Swiss Navy lube on this list, Healthy Vibe's Water-Based Sex Lube is formulated to be thicker and more gel-like than many other water-based products on the market. Some people prefer this feeling - and it's absolutely perfect if your toy of choice is a prostate massager, anal, anal beads, or anything else that stimulates this especially sensitive area.

Our anuses don't produce any natural lubrication - and, not only that, that area is especially sensitive, with thinner and more sensitive skin. If you want a comfortable anal experience with your toys, you really need to make sure that your lube is going to do a good job of staying where it's needed. Healthy Vibes has created a lube that seriously delivers in this area.

Since there are no harsh chemicals in the formulation, this lube also does an excellent job of naturally moisturizing your skin, which further adds to elasticity and reduces the chance of any uncomfortable stretching or snagging. Whatever kind of sex or play you enjoy, friction does not need to be a part of the experience - and Healthy Vibes has made sure your solo sessions are the slickest they've ever been in 2024.

Feedback From Our Testers

• FDA-approved is good to see - adds confidence for people with sensitive skin
• The thick consistency is perfect for anal and doesn't get displaced
• The thick formulation might not be to all user's tastes - not quite as natural as some
• Shame there's no TSA-approved size for travel
• Thick, long-lasting, and very slick

What to Look for When Choosing a Lube for Your Silicone Toy in 2024

There are plenty of great options on this list if you're looking for a lube to use with a silicone toy - but how do you pin your choice down to just one product?

We've put together some helpful factors to think about to help you choose the lube that's exactly right for you and your toys.

1. Make sure it is water-based

It's easy to grab a bottle of lube without really considering what's in it. This is especially true if you're shopping in a store and don't have time to really research what you're buying.

Make sure the lube that you're buying is water-based. Take a careful look at the ingredients and definitely rule out anything that's got any oil component. Some hybrid lube is suitable for use with silicone toys - but make sure you're not buying a product that's got more than 20% silicone.

Look for water - sometimes referred to as 'aqua' - as the main ingredient in the bottle.

2. Identify what turns you on

Although lube might be secondary to the kind of toy you're playing with, you still need to think about how it will add to the experience and what turns you on.

Most specialist lubes, like warming, cooling, numbing, and flavored lube, have a water base, so you can explore different sensations and effects to find a product that really adds to the turn-on value of your play.

3. Keep in mind what you will use it for

Different consistencies of lube work better for different kinds of play. For example, anal lube benefits from being thicker than the kind of lube you might use for a handjob.

Think about what you're going to be using your lube for and find the right product. Thin lubes offer a natural feel, moisturizing lubes help to keep your skin supple and fresh, and thicker lubes are perfect for staying in place if you're exploring anal or especially large/tight toys.

4. Think about whether you (or your partner) has sensitive skin

Skin sensitivities are very common - with 60–70% of women and 50–60% of men having some degree of sensitive skin. Since the skin around your genitals and anus is especially sensitive and packed with blood vessels, it's easy to be irritated by products that wouldn't cause a problem elsewhere.

If there are ingredients you know you don't get along with, avoid them altogether. If either of you has sensitivities elsewhere, opt for a hypoallergic lube that's free from parabens, glycerin, sulfates, or sugars.

Lube and Silicone Sex Toys: FAQs

Is an oil-based lube safe to use with silicone sex toys?

Let's start by talking about oil-based lube. No matter what kind of oil-based lubricants you're looking at, it's not a good idea to use them with silicone toys, TPE toys, or other plastic sex toys. Don't be fooled into thinking an oil-based lube sounds harmless either - whether it's coconut oil, baby oil, or massage oil, it's going to cause problems.

This means harmful bacteria can linger on the toy, which can harbor harmful bacteria. What's more, oil can hang around for a very long time if your toy is used internally, making yeast infections and other irritation far more likely.

Oil-based lubes should be saved for external masturbation only. They're great for that - but a no-no for any kind of internal use.

Is silicone lube suitable for silicone toys?

You can be forgiven for thinking that a silicone-based lube is the right choice for a silicone toy - but this is not the case. Silicone-based lubes will damage your toy far quicker than virtually any other substance.

This is because, because of a chemical process known as miscibility, the silicone lubricant tries to bond with the silicone your toy is made from. As a result, most silicone toys will appear to melt as the two types of silicone combine. Bad news for your toy - and bad news for you, as the silicone lube will sometimes solidify and make a mess.

This doesn't mean silicone lube isn't a great product though. It's safe to use with latex condoms, super slick for anal sex, and fine to use on most non-silicone sex toys (like glass sex toys). Recently, some manufacturers have created non-reactive silicone toys - but unless you're 100% certain your toy is compatible with silicone-based lube, then avoid it.

Why are water-based lubes recommended for use with silicone sex toys?

Water-based lube stands head and shoulders above other lubes as the best for most sex toys. In fact, water-based lube is perfect for everything - anal play, vaginal sex, oral sex, masturbation, and even massage.

What's more, water-based products are safe no matter what kind you decide on. So, warming lubes, cooling lubes, and synthetically flavored lube are all perfectly fine to use with your silicone toy.

Do hybrid lube work with silicone toys?

Hybrid lubes are the most recent innovation in the personal lubricant world. They're a combination of water-based lubricant and silicone-based lube - usually formulated to be at least 80% water.

Creamy white in color - these hybrid lubes mimic semen very effectively. They're also slicker than a purely water-based product. Generally speaking, hybrid lubes contain very little silicone, which makes them safe for use with most toys. That said, it's always good to do a spot test on a non-noticeable part of your toy to make sure there's no reaction before you play.

So, what's the benefit of adding a little silicone to a water lube? Well, it makes your lube a little slicker and longer-lasting for a start. Also, a hybrid lube stands up to water a little better too - so perfect if you want to take your silicone sex toys in the shower or tub.

Best Lube for Silicone Sex Toys in 2024: A Summary

Lube can completely transform your experience of using a sex toy - but not all lubes work well with silicone. Oil-based lube is very difficult to wash off sex toys and should never be used internally since it can harbor harmful bacteria. Silicone lube should also be avoided as it can seriously damage silicone toys.

When you choose a hybrid or water lube, think about what your play is going to involve. Different lubes have different consistencies - with thinner lubes often feeling more natural, and thicker lubes being better for large, tight, or anal toys.

It might take a little experimentation to find the best lube for you, but as cost-effective products, it won't break the bank as you experiment - and you'll have a LOT of slippery fun with your favorite sex toys in the meantime!
