Silicone based lube is great for some purposes – especially for anal sex and when more intense lubrication is required, such as when inserting larger toys. It’s great advantage is that it doesn’t dry up and requires a smaller amount of lube to assure for smooth penetration. For advanced anal action or for people who want to alleviate discomfort, there is also an anal formula with mild numbing effect. Please note: Silicone based lubricants are not to be used with toys made of silicone, since it cause they’re surface to deteriorate.
