Only when the toy manufacturer confirms compatibility. Water-based lubricant is the safer default for silicone toys.
Water-based and silicone-based lubricants are generally suitable with latex condoms. Avoid oil-based products with latex or polyisoprene condoms and follow the condom manufacturer's instructions.
Use a water-based lubricant approved by the device manufacturer. A lubricant recommended for one brand should not automatically be assumed safe for every other brand.
A thicker texture can provide more cushioning and stay where it is applied. Use generously, reapply when needed and stop if anything feels painful.
Pause and add more whenever glide decreases or friction increases. Longer sessions and water-based formulas may require more frequent reapplication.

Use the finder above as a starting point. Then compare the current ingredients, selected size and the instructions for the exact toy and barrier you plan to use.
Sliquid H2O, JO H2O Original and Anal Thick, Swiss Navy Water, Gun Oil H2O, and Pink Water or Natural are different water-based choices. Their ingredients and textures differ; water-based does not make every formula interchangeable.
Compare Sliquid, System JO, Swiss Navy, Gun Oil and Pink.
Swiss Navy Silicone offers lasting, water-resistant glide. It may need gentle soap for cleanup. Use silicone lubricant with a silicone toy only if the exact toy maker permits it; easy-rinse cleanup may favour a water-based choice instead.
JO Classic Hybrid combines water and silicone. JO Coconut Hybrid combines water-based ingredients and coconut oil. Pink Indulgence is a water-and-silicone cream. Check each current label and exact toy and barrier instructions rather than treating all hybrids alike.
Gun Oil Stroke 29 contains water and natural oils; its manufacturer says it is not intended for intercourse or condom use. Toy cleaner, arousal products and delay products are also different from an everyday lubricant.
Compare sizes fairly: a 5ml sample price is not a full-bottle price. Check the selected size, current price, ingredients and available option on the product page. A larger bottle is useful only if its formula, usable life and your intended use fit your needs.
