Water-Based vs. Silicone-Based Lubricants: Laboratory Publishes 48 Comparative Test Data Points

Mar. 14, 2025

When choosing a lubricant, consumers often face the choice between water-based and silicone-based lubricants. Pingchuang Medical has conducted 48 comparative tests in its laboratory to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of water-based and silicone-based lubricants, providing consumers with a scientific basis for their choice.

· Characteristics of Water-Based Lubricants

Water-based lubricants are mainly composed of water and have good lubricating effects and are easy to clean. They are usually oil-free and do not leave a sticky feeling after use, making them suitable for daily use. Water-based lubricants are highly safe and suitable for use with most condoms and sex toys.

· Characteristics of Silicone-Based Lubricants

Silicone-based lubricants are mainly composed of silicone oil and have a long-lasting lubricating effect. They are usually not easily washed away by water, making them suitable for use in water, such as in the shower or bathtub. Silicone-based lubricants provide a smoother user experience but may not be suitable for some sex toys, especially those made of silicone.

· Design of 48 Comparative Tests

Pingchuang Medical’s laboratory conducted 48 comparative tests, covering multiple aspects such as lubricating effect, durability, ease of cleaning, and skin irritation. Through scientific testing methods, we can objectively evaluate the performance of water-based and silicone-based lubricants.

· Analysis of Test Results

Test results show that water-based lubricants perform well in terms of ease of cleaning and skin irritation, making them suitable for daily use. Silicone-based lubricants perform better in terms of durability and lubricating effect, making them suitable for situations requiring long-lasting lubrication. Consumers can choose the appropriate product based on their needs.

· Consumer Recommendations

Pingchuang Medical recommends that consumers consider their usage scenarios and needs when choosing a lubricant. If frequent cleaning is required or if the lubricant is to be used with sex toys, a water-based lubricant is a good choice; while if a long-lasting lubricating effect is required, a silicone-based lubricant is more suitable.

Through 48 comparative tests, Pingchuang Medical provides consumers with a scientific basis for choosing between water-based and silicone-based lubricants. We will continue to dedicate ourselves to product research and development and innovation, providing consumers with high-quality lubricants, and helping them obtain a better experience during use.
