Silicone based lubricants are lubricants made from silicone, a synthetic polymer made from silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. These lubricants are known for their long-lasting, slippery texture and are often used for sexual activity, as well as for lubricating mechanical parts.
One of the main benefits of silicone-based lubricants is their longevity. Unlike water-based lubricants, which can dry out and become sticky, silicone-based lubricants tend to last much longer and retain their slippery texture for extended periods of time. This makes them a good choice for activities that involve prolonged friction, such as intercourse or masturbation.
Another benefit of silicone-based lubricants is their non-sticky and non-greasy feel. They are also great for people with sensitive skin because they are not irritating to the skin. They also don't leave stains on clothes or sheets, unlike oil-based lubricants.
Silicone-based lubricants are also waterproof, making them a great choice for shower or bath time play. This is due to them not washing off off easily.
Silicone-based lubricants are also safe to use with condoms and certain sex toys. They don't degrade the materials and are less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions than other types of lubricants. It is not recommended for use with silicone sex toys as they can damage the toy. They can be difficult to clean out of fabric, so take extra care when using them with around any type of fabric.
In addition, silicone based lubricants are also great for massages because they provide a silky smooth texture and don't absorb into the skin as quickly as water-based lubricants. This also makes them great to prevent help prevent chaffing where other moisturizers may fail.
Silicone-based lubricants also don't contain any of the harsh chemicals or parabens that can be found in many water-based lubricants. Many are free of any animal-derived ingredients and are vegan-friendly.
Overall, silicone based lubricants are a great option for anyone looking for a long-lasting, non-irritating lubricant that can be used safely with condoms, sex toys, and during shower or bath time play. They are also a good choice for people with sensitive skin or for those who want a vegan-friendly option.
