The Best Silicone-Based Lubes: Tested & Reviewed

Silicone lubes offer unparalleled glide during vaginal or anal penetration, featuring a silk-like texture that’s long-lasting and generally doesn’t require reapplication — even during marathon sex or water play.
They’re also made from gentle, hypoallergenic body-safe silicones that are especially ideal for folks with allergies or sensitivities and are compatible with all types of condoms and toys – except those made from silicone.
After 83 hours of cumulative research and personal testing, we’ve concluded that Wet Platinum and Überlube are the best overall silicone lubricants available.
