Should I use lube with my sex toy?
Yes... you most likely want to use lubricant with your sex toys. Lube will make your sex toy experience safer and more pleasurable.
But it's important to make sure you're your lube isn't going to damage your favorite new dildo, vibrator, or butt plug, so let's find out which lube is best.
Water-Based Lube on Sex Toys
We recommend using a water-based lube with just about all of your sex toys, regardless of what your toy is made of.
Water-based lubricants might not last as long before getting a little tacky, so be sure to add re-apply as needed to keep the party going.
tldr: Regardless of what your toy is made of, water-based lubes are safe for it.

Can I use an oil-based lube with sex toys?
No. Don't even try it.
Not only should oil-based lubes not be used internally (they can coat the anus or vagina and prevent your body from adequately cleaning itself), they shouldn't be used on sex toys.
Regardless of the sex toy material, oil-based products (including lubes, creams, and massage oils) can coat your toy, and the only way to get the oil off of them is by using chemicals that aren't going to be friendly to either your toy or your body.
Basically, keep the oil away from your sex toys, period.
Silicone-Based Lubes on Sex Toys
The next lube on probation is a silicone-based lubricant, but we can't kick silicone off the island entirely.
Silicone-based lubes are fine on hard-material toys, like hard plastic, ceramic, wood, and glass toys (btw we <3 glass toys).
They will keep things nice and slick while you are playing with your partner, your toys, or even both and will wash off with some soap and water when you are done with your fun and frivolity.
Important: it is essential to keep silicone lubes away from sex toys made of or contain silicone. While this may sound counter-intuitive, silicone lube and silicone toys (and really, most soft toys including jelly, sil-a-gel, etc.) want to be the same.
Don't mix silicone with silicone.
Ergo, if you use silicone lube on silicone toys, the lube will start to solidify onto the toy, and the toy will begin to melt into the lube, leaving you with a toy that has a melted cheese-like consistency on the outside.
Excellent science, yes, but probably not what you want to happen to your brand new, medical-grade silicone dildo.
This is the same reason that you should not stack or pile silicone toys in a drawer together, touching each other; you might come back to a conglomerate of dildos!
