Silicone-based lubricants differ from water-based lubricants. There are several differences and your needs determine when to have which one.

Silicone-based lubricants slide more, much more, and longer. These are the major benefits. The disadvantages are that it is a little harder to wash away from the skin and that your sheets can be destroyed if you spill. There are also those who are extra sensitive. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend a neutral water-based lubricant such as Astroglide Natural.
