Lubricant Compatibility Guide by Material Type

Short answer

Choosing the right lubricant depends entirely on the material of your product. Using an incompatible formula can degrade or damage items made of silicone or TPE. When in doubt, water-based lubricants are the safest choice for most materials.

Oil-based products should generally be avoided as they can cause permanent damage to many common materials.

Material Compatibility Chart

To prevent material degradation, match your lubricant to the specific composition of your item:

• Silicone: Use water-based lubricants. Avoid silicone-based lubricants as they can dissolve the surface.

• TPE / TPR / Jelly: Use water-based lubricants only. Silicone-based products will damage these materials.

• Glass & Steel: Both water-based and silicone-based lubricants are compatible with these non-porous materials, though silicone offers longer-lasting glide properties without drying out as quickly as water-based options.

The Risks of Oil-Based Lubricants

Oil-based lubricants (such as petroleum jelly, baby oil, or natural oils) pose a significant risk to many product materials. These substances can break down the molecular structure of latex, causing it to tear or lose elasticity quickly. Furthermore, they can cause many synthetic materials like TPE to become sticky or permanently deformed.

The Golden Rule: When in Doubt, Use Water-Based

If you are unsure about the specific material composition of a product, the safest protocol is to use a water-based lubricant. Water-based formulas are compatible with almost all surfaces, including silicone, TPE, latex, glass, and steel. They are easy to clean and do not pose a risk of material erosion.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use silicone-based lubricant on silicone products?
No. Using a silicone-based lubricant on a silicone product can lead to material degradation. It is recommended to use water-based alternatives for silicone items.
Are water-based lubricants safe for latex?
Yes, water-based lubricants are compatible with latex. You should avoid oil-based products with latex as they can cause the material to break down.
How can I see the final price of my order?
Since prices on the website are reference values, you must click the 'Ask about stock & price' button. We will provide the definitive price and stock status in our reply.
What happens if I am unsure about a product's material?
The safest option is to use a water-based lubricant, as they are compatible with the widest variety of materials including TPE, silicone, and latex.
Can I return a lubricant if I change my mind?
Due to hygiene standards, we do not accept returns on any personal products once they have been opened.
