Toko Silicone Formula|Toko silicone lubricant represented my first experience with silicone lubricants. From this standpoint, I have to say I really liked it. It represented such a departure from the water based lubes that I was used to that I was really amazed at its properties. My two main requirements are that my lube stay slick for a long time and that it not gum up when it dries. Toko Silicone Formula met both of those requirements very well. Not to mention it lasts much longer in water than water based lubes since those naturally wash off with water. For this reason, it became our “go to” lube for sex in the shower.

Since I had read that silicone lube had other uses, I wanted to try that out. I read that you can shave with it and use it to condition your hair. Well, my female partner and I have both shaved with it and it works well for that by helping the razor glide along your skin, but it doesn’t clean off the razor as well as I would like, so I don’t use it for that all the time. We have yet to try it out for hair conditioning, but maybe eventually.

As far as ingredients are concerned, Toko Silicone Formula only has three ingredients which are: dimethicone, dimethiconol, and cyclomethicone. These three ingredients in this order put it in with other silicone lubricants like Eros Light Love|Eros light love, Fun Factory Body Fluid|Toyfluid by Fun Factory, and Sliquid Silver|Sliquid silver. As far as silicone lubes are concerned, that seems like pretty good company to keep. This is not to say that all of these lubes are identical, but it means that they probably have similar properties to each other. Also, Toko Silicone Formula is less expensive per ounce than any of these others.

Before I end, I should say that one should be very cautious about getting this lube in contact with toys that contain any amount of silicone. Silicone lube can disintegrate silicone toys. I particularly find this to be true with TPR silicone which seems to react with almost any lube that isn’t water based. That being said, I have tested Toko Silicone Formula out on inconspicuous places on several of my 100% silicone toys without incident. I don’t make a habit out of using silicone based lube with silicone toys, just in case, but it seems like there might not be a problem with high quality toys. Silicone based lube is safe to use with latex condoms|Naturalamb condoms, so if you want to use it with your silicone toys, wrap them up with a latex condom and you should be good to go.

My partner and I really love to use this lube for sex in the shower. Sometimes I will slip a condom over one of my silicone toys if I want to play by myself in the shower as well. For a while we had left the bottle in the shower because we were using it to shave sometimes and it was just convenient. Well, as you know, I have little ones running around the house, and one time when they were showering one (or more) of them took the bottle and poured a lot of it on the floor of the shower and rubbed it around. That shower floor was so slick I almost fell down the next time I stepped in there. It didn’t wash off much over the next few days either. We had to get out the tub cleaner and a scrub brush to really get the lube off the floor. It was definitely entertaining taking a shower for those few days.
