Whether enjoying dildo sex play with a partner or by yourself, lubrication can be an important consideration when selecting a dildo. You want to be sure the lubrication you use is compatible with the material your dildo is made of. Since some types of lubrication can damage certain dildo materials, it is good to know the basics before you start shopping.

Water Based Sex Toy and Personal Lubricants
Water-based sex lubes are the most common form of sexual lubrication used today. Containing mostly water, water-based lubes will not stain your clothes or sheets, are safe with all sex toys, and can even taste good. Water based personal lubricatns are available in both flavored and non-flavored varieties, are long lasting and easy to clean.
Silicone Based Sex Toy and Personal Lubricants
Basically a modern, high-tech version of water-based sex lube, silicone-based lubes contain all the same ingredients as water-based lubes, except that silicone lubes do not contain any water and are completely waterproof. Silicone based personal sex lubricants also don’t dry out like water-based lubes, so tend to last longer.
As mentioned previously in this article, silicone lubricant is safe to use with all sex toys except those made of silicone. If you have a silicone toy, you must use a different type of lubrication.

Oil Based Sex Toy and Personal Lubricants
Consisting of common oils such as vegetable oil, oil-based lubes are not recommended for use with sex toys. Oil-based lubes are OK for masturbation and generally considered safe for consumption, but they often leave an oily residue, can be difficult to wash off your body parts, stain clothing and have been known to cause infection if allowed to stay in the vagina.
Oil-based lubes are not compatible with latex based sex toys, condoms and some latex-based birth control devices.
Petroleum Based Sex Toy and Personal Lubricants
Petroleum-based personal lubes are made with mineral oil or petroleum jelly. Petroleum-based lubes contain primarily petroleum based products, and while they are commonly used for masturbation and anal play, petroleum-based personal lubricants tend to stain sheets and clothing, and are not easy to wash off your body.
