TL;DR: Glissant water-based lubricant is safe with silicone, glass, and most toy materials, cleans up easily with mild soap and water, and won't degrade silicone the way silicone-based lubricants can.
What lube is safe to use with sex toys?
Water-based lubricant is the safest default for sex toys of any material, including silicone. Silicone-based lubricants can break down silicone toys over time, so we don't recommend them for that use — water-based is the simpler, safer choice.
How to use
- Spray Glissant water-based lubricant onto your fingers or directly onto the toy.
- Spread evenly across the surface for full coverage.
- Reapply as needed — it rinses out easily, so there's no harm in using more.
How to clean
- Rinse the toy with warm water immediately after use.
- Wash with a mild, unscented soap, reaching all seams and textured areas.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap and lubricant residue.
- Pat dry or air dry fully before storing.
Frequently asked questions
What lube is best for silicone toys?
A water-based lubricant, like Glissant's. Silicone-based lubricants can degrade silicone toy material, so water-based is the safer, longer-lasting choice for your toy collection.
Do I need lube with every toy?
Not always, but lubricant improves comfort and glide, particularly for anal toys or extended use.
Can I use any household product as toy lubricant?
No. Household lubricants aren't formulated for intimate use and can irritate skin or damage toy materials. Use a lubricant made for the purpose.
Are water-based and sensitive-skin lubricants both toy-safe?
Yes — both Glissant's water-based lubricant and sensitive-skin lubricant are safe with silicone toys and most other toy materials.
What's the best lube for anal toys?
A water-based lubricant with good glide and easy cleanup — Glissant's formula is designed for exactly that.
