Sliquid Silk is a creamy hybrid lube that blends a water base with silicone and emollients, giving you some of silicone's staying power with a much easier clean-up. It comes in a 2 oz bottle, the handy size for a nightstand or travel kit, and it's unflavoured, unscented and non-staining, according to Sliquid.
Sliquid builds Silk on its Naturals H2O water base, then adds dimethicone and emollient esters. The full list reads: purified water, plant cellulose, isopropyl palmitate, polysorbate 20, dimethicone, emollient ester, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate and citric acid. The plant cellulose gives body, the dimethicone adds lasting slip, and the esters create the lotion-like feel. It's made without glycerin, parabens, glycols, PEG, sorbitol or sulfates, and Sliquid calls it vegan-friendly.
Silk comes out of the bottle white and soft, a little like a light lotion, and spreads into a smooth cushion rather than a thin, watery layer. It feels less slippery than pure silicone but lasts noticeably longer than a basic water-based gel, so it suits long sessions, hand play and massage that turns into sex. People who dislike the cold, wet feel of clear lubes often prefer a cream like this one.
Sliquid doesn't publish an official toy-compatibility statement for Silk. Because it contains a modest amount of silicone, do a spot test on the base of a silicone toy before regular use: rub a little in, leave it for an hour, rinse it off and check that the surface isn't sticky or dull. Glass, stainless steel and hard plastic toys need no test. For condoms, check the label on your bottle, and if in doubt, pick a plain water-based lube.
Start with a fingertip's worth. The silicone means it goes further than you'd expect, and too much can feel heavy. Spread it on your skin or toy and top up only when you need to. Afterwards, warm water and a little mild soap remove it easily from skin and toys; it doesn't need the scrubbing that pure silicone lube does. Sliquid describes it as non-staining, though wiping drips off fabric promptly is always wise.
Silk is a good fit for couples who want one bottle for foreplay, hand play and sex, for anyone who finds clear water-based lubes too thin, and for longer sessions where you'd rather not keep stopping. It's a weaker fit for shower play, since water eventually rinses the water-based part away, and for people who want a lube they can use on silicone toys without testing first.
Sliquid makes Silk in 2 oz, 4.2 oz and 8.5 oz bottles, as well as small pillow packs. The 2 oz bottle is a sensible first purchase and fits a toiletry bag. If you like an organic ingredient list, Sliquid also makes an Organics Silk hybrid with aloe and plant extracts.
