ID Millennium Silicone Lubricant – 2.2 FL OZ (65ml)

ID Millennium is a pure silicone lubricant for people who are tired of stopping to reapply. This 2.2 fl oz (65 mL) bottle holds a concentrated formula of just three silicones, with no water to evaporate and nothing to soak into the skin, so a few drops keep their slip far longer than a water-based gel. It's the size most people pick once they've decided silicone suits them, without buying a large bottle up front.

How a silicone lubricant behaves differently

Water-based lubes absorb and dry; silicone stays on the surface. That gives Millennium a silky, almost weightless feel that keeps going through long sessions, skin-on-skin massage and sex in the shower or bath, where water would wash a water-based product away. It's clear, odourless and not tacky. The trade-off is clean-up: water alone won't remove it, so you'll need soap.

Using it well

• Start with one or two drops. It's concentrated, and too much simply feels greasy.
• Warm it between your palms before it touches skin.
• In the shower, keep it off the floor. Silicone on tile or an acrylic tub is very slippery; use a mat and rinse the base with soapy water afterwards.
• For massage, a small amount covers a lot of skin, and it won't need topping up halfway through like an oil can.

Toys and condoms

Millennium is compatible with latex condoms. With toys it depends on the material. Glass, stainless steel and hard plastic (ABS) are fine. Silicone toys are where caution comes in: silicone lube can bond with some silicone surfaces and leave them tacky or pitted. ID doesn't state silicone-toy compatibility for Millennium, so either use a water-based lube with those toys or test a small spot on the base first and check it the next day.

Who it suits, and who should skip it

Millennium is a strong match if water-based lubes feel like they vanish halfway through, if you want something for the bath or shower, or if you like one product that doubles as a light massage glide. It also suits anyone avoiding glycerin, parabens or fragrance, since none are in the formula. Skip it, or keep a second lube, if most of your toys are silicone, or if you dislike the idea of soaping up afterwards. People who prefer a thick, cushioning texture may find it too thin and slippery.

Picking a bottle size

Because you use so little per session, a small bottle goes further than you'd expect. The 1 oz size is a good trial or travel option, and 2.2 oz is the step up once you know you like it. If silicone is now your everyday lube, the 4.4 oz bottle saves reordering.

Cleaning up

Wash skin with warm water and a mild soap. Glass and metal toys clean easily the same way. Silicone can leave oily-looking marks on some fabrics, so put a towel down on good sheets and treat spots with dish soap before washing. Keep the cap closed between uses; the bottle itself gets slippery if lube runs down the side.
