Silicone Lubes

Silicone Lubes are personal lubricants made from silicone polymers rather than water, so they stay slick until they are washed off and work perfectly well underwater. The material is what defines both the appeal and the one restriction, since silicone lubricant should never meet a silicone toy. Lovva stocks Silicone Lubes online across Australia and at its Sydney store.

Read the back of a silicone lubricant bottle and the ingredient list is usually three or four lines long. Dimethicone, dimethiconol and cyclopentasiloxane do almost all of the work, and none of them are absorbed by skin or evaporate the way water does. That is the entire reason the category exists. A silicone formula sits on the surface and stays there, so it does not turn tacky halfway through and does not need a top up, and a few drops cover what would take several times as much water-based product. Water makes no difference to it either, which is why it is the only base that genuinely works in a shower or a bath. Silicone attacks silicone. The same chemistry that makes it durable also bonds with the surface of a silicone toy and ruins it, and that single incompatibility shapes every decision on this page.

What Are Silicone Lubes?

Silicone Lubes are lubricants formulated from silicone polymers, typically dimethicone and dimethiconol, containing no water and no oil. Formulas are short by comparison with water-based products, which suits anyone who prefers a small ingredient list. Silicone does not evaporate or absorb into skin, so a single application lasts until it is washed away with soap. Water has no effect on it, making silicone the only common base that holds up in a shower, a bath or a spa. It is safe with latex and polyisoprene condoms. Compatibility with toys is where the limits sit. Glass, stainless steel, ABS and hard plastic are all unaffected, while medical grade silicone toys degrade on contact and develop a tacky or pitted surface that cannot be repaired. The nearest alternatives are water-based lubricants, which are universally compatible but need reapplying, and hybrids, which carry enough silicone to raise the same toy restriction.

How To Choose The Right Silicone Lubes

Silicone lubricant is best suited to anyone using glass, steel or hard plastic toys, since none of those materials react and the lubricant outlasts anything water-based by a wide margin. Shower and bath play is the other clear case, because no other base survives being rinsed. Anyone whose collection is mostly silicone is better served by a water based lube, or by putting a condom over the toy if silicone lubricant is being used anyway. Long sessions and anal play both benefit from a lubricant that does not dry, which is a genuine advantage rather than a marketing one. Cleaning up is the honest trade-off. Silicone will not rinse away with water alone and needs soap, and it soaks into sheets and upholstery in a way water-based never does. Pair it with glass dildos for a combination that suits each other completely.

How To Use And Store Silicone Lubes

Use far less than a water-based product, since silicone spreads much further and adding more simply makes surfaces slippery. Keep it away from every silicone toy, and put a condom over the toy if the two have to be used in the same session. Glass, stainless steel and ABS are unaffected, and latex and polyisoprene condoms are both safe. Take care in a shower or a bath, because silicone lubricant makes tiles and enamel genuinely slippery and the floor stays that way until it is cleaned with detergent. Wash skin with soap rather than water alone, as plain water will not lift it. Launder marked sheets in hot water with detergent, and expect a second wash on heavier marks. Store bottles upright, closed and away from direct heat. Anyone experiencing irritation with any lubricant should stop using it and speak to a doctor.

Shop The Full Range Of Silicone Lubes At Lovva

Lovva carries Silicone Lubes in several viscosities and bottle sizes, from travel volumes through to pump bottles for regular use, all of them water free and long lasting. Comparing ingredient lists in the Sydney store is quicker than reading them on a phone, particularly across formulas that look identical from the front. Online orders anywhere in Australia draw on the same warehouse. Material compatibility is the thing to get right in this part of the range, since silicone lubricant treats glass, steel and hard plastic perfectly well and ruins a silicone toy permanently, and every listing states its base clearly. Nothing on the outside of a parcel names a brand or a product. Anyone wanting some of the longevity without the full toy restriction should look at hybrid lubes, though those still contain silicone. Shop now once you know what your toys are made from, because that answer decides whether this base suits you at all.
