Silicone-based lubricants are one of the best choices if need to use extra lubrication. They tend to last longer than water-based lubricants, and unlike oil-based lubricants, most of them are safe to use with latex toys or contraceptives. Learn more about how to use a silicone-based lubricant by following these simple steps.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose a type of silicone-based lubricant. If using the lubricant with a latex toy, be sure to double-check the product information and sure it is safe to use with latex.

  2. Step 2

    Keep all personal lubricants in a place close to the bed, usually within reach.

  3. Step 3

    Apply the lubricant in small amounts, spreading it around slightly each time until the desired lubrication is achieved.

Tips & Warnings
  • Avoid using silicone-based lubricants with toys or other products made of silicone, as it can slowly degrade the surface of these products.
  • Avoid using silicon-based lubricants with condoms. Although a silicone-based lubricant is chemically safe to use with latex, it provides a stickier medium than water-based lubrication and can cause condoms to break.
