ID Silk hybrid water- and silicone-based lubricant 250 ml

The first time, you'll notice that this lubricant doesn't have the thick texture of pure silicone or the overly slippery sensation of a classic water-based formula. That's the whole point of this hybrid formula: you get the silky softness of silicone with the natural, lighter feel of water. I consider this type of product an excellent middle ground for anyone hesitating between the two.

Hybrid formula: the best of both worlds

ID Silk combines a water base and a silicone base to offer a balanced experience. The hydrolyzed silk and sodium hyaluronate in the formula leave the skin supple and smooth after use. This isn't empty marketing: these ingredients have a genuine moisturizing function. I find that this approach meets a real need for people who find water-based lubricants are absorbed too quickly or silicone lubricants too thick.

• Hybrid water + silicone formula for a balanced sensation
• Hydrolyzed silk and hyaluronate for hydration
• Easy to clean after each use
• Compatible with latex condoms
• Suitable for intimate massages and vaginal use

Use and compatibility

What I always tell my customers about this type of hybrid lubricant: be sure to check its compatibility with your accessories. Since it contains silicone (cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone), you should use it with glass, metal, steel, or ceramic toys. With a silicone sex toy, choose a pure water-based lubricant instead to prevent any damage. For condoms, there's no problem: this formula has been tested for compatibility.

Cleaning: simply use lukewarm water and mild soap. Unlike pure silicone lubricants, you don't need to scrub for a long time. The hybrid formula rinses off more easily. After cleaning, dry your accessories thoroughly before storing them.

Contents and storage

The 250 ml bottle lasts a long time if you use it regularly (a few pumps are enough per use). The packaging is discreet and practical. Store it at room temperature, away from direct heat. Honestly, this size works just as well for trying it out as it does for regular use without breaking the bank.

Who it's really for

Ideal for: Anyone looking for a balance between a natural sensation and long-lasting glide. If you find water-based lubricants too light or silicone lubricants too thick, this hybrid formula is made for you. It's also perfect for intimate massages as a couple. I recommend it as a way to get started with a quality lubricant without committing to either a water- or silicone-based formula.

Consider another option if: You use silicone sex toys exclusively (choose a pure water-based lubricant instead). If you're looking for a specialized anal lubricant, there are better-suited formulas in our intimate wellness collection. And if you have a known silicone allergy, stick with a classic water-based formula for safety.

A friend's advice — ID has been making lubricants since 1993: it's an experienced brand. This hybrid formula isn't a marketing gimmick; it's a genuine technical solution to a real need. Give it a try without hesitation.
