    Pjur Bodyglide Original Silicone-Based Lubricant


    Silicone lube is a water-resistant lube that's safe to use with condoms and ideal for long-lasting lubrication during sex.


    Silicone sex lube is generally more expensive than water-based lube but you get a lot for your money. The long-lasting properties mean you won’t need to keep topping up your lubrication and you’ll need less of it too. Silicone lube is even waterproof, so it's fantastic for fulfilling sex in the shower fantasies.


    Read on as our FAQ aims to answer all your silicone lube questions.

    anal lubesWhen you’re indulging in a spot of anal sex or masturbation, you need to have the right tools for the job. Regardless of your penchants and preferences, anal lubricant is a necessity and should never be left out of your fun and games. 


    Anal lubricant differs from regular lube as the consistency is much thicker which helps to protect the sensitive skin of the anus. It's not just a safety issue for the health of your sensitive anal tract, it's also a pleasure thing. Almost all sex is enhanced with a good slick of lube and by making sure that there will definitely be no harsh friction, you'll enjoy your anal sex experience much more.


    Just like regular sexual lubes, anal lube comes in a variety of types - water-based, silicone based and oil based. Each has its benefits and are better for different types of anal sex.
