OXBALLS OXLube Thick Silicone is a silicone lubricant with only three ingredients and nothing added to bulk it out. The 8.5 oz bottle is the larger of the two sizes, aimed at people who already know they like a heavy, cushioned silicone glide and get through lube quickly. OXBALLS built it to go with its own toys, which is why the brand is so specific about what it is safe with.
The full ingredient list is cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone and dimethiconol. That's it: no water, no glycerin, no preservatives, no fragrance. Each is a type of silicone, and the blend is what gives the lube its body. Because nothing in it evaporates the way water does, it stays slippery until you wash it off, and it doesn't turn tacky as it sits on skin.
Straight from the bottle it's a rich, syrupy liquid rather than a gel. It warms quickly between your fingers, spreads thin and feels almost velvety. OXBALLS describes it as melty and very slick, and advises using it sparingly. A dot the size of a fingertip covers more than you'd expect; start there and add more only when the glide starts to fade. Overdoing it just leaves you with extra to clean up.
Thick silicone lube is popular for anal play because it doesn't soak into skin or dry out partway through. It also holds up in the shower or bath, where water-based lube rinses away. For long hand sessions and stroking, the lasting slip means fewer pauses to reapply. With hard toys in glass or metal it gives a smooth, cushioned feel.
Water-based lube is lighter, washes off with water and is the default pairing for most silicone toys, but it dries out and needs topping up. Thick silicone trades easy cleanup for staying power: one application can last a whole session, it won't get sticky, and a little goes a long way, so a bottle this size lasts a long time. If you've found water-based lubes thin out too fast, this is the swap to try.
OXBALLS says this formula is safe with condoms and with toys of every material, naming its own platinum silicone, FLEXtpr, latex, glass and metal. That's unusual: many silicone lubes come with a warning about silicone toys. Silicone quality still varies between brands, so with a toy from another maker, try a small spot on the base first and check it after an hour.
Water alone won't shift it. Wash skin with soap and warm water, and clean toys with hot soapy water. Silicone lube can mark fabric, so put a towel down and wipe spills before they soak into sheets. Floors and tiles get slippery fast; mop up drips in the shower straight away.
If you want to try it before committing to a big bottle, the 4.4 oz Thick Silicone is the same formula. OXBALLS also makes a hybrid OXLube for a creamier feel that washes off more easily.

Helpful answers about OXBALLS OXLube Thick Silicone Lubricant – 8.5 oz.
OXBALLS says yes, and lists its own platinum silicone toys as compatible. Other brands use different silicone blends, so for a toy from another maker, rub a little on the base, leave it for an hour, and check for any stickiness before using it all over.
OXBALLS says it is condom-safe. Silicone lube does not break down latex the way oil does, which is one reason people choose it for anal sex with condoms. Check the condom packet too, since some specialty condoms have their own guidance.
Many people prefer a thick silicone lube like this one because it stays slippery without drying out and needs less reapplying. If you mostly use silicone toys from other brands, a thick water-based lube avoids compatibility questions. Our lubricant guide compares the options.
Less than you think. Start with a fingertip-sized drop, spread it, and add more only when the glide fades. Thick silicone does not evaporate, so a large first squeeze just ends up on the sheets.
Use soap and warm water on skin; water alone just moves it around. On fabric, blot excess, rub in a little dish soap and wash warm. Laying a towel down first saves effort.
The formula is identical. The 8.5 oz bottle suits regular users and anyone who uses it for long sessions or in the shower. If you are trying thick silicone for the first time, the smaller 4.4 oz bottle is the lower-commitment option.
Yes. Silicone does not rinse away under running water, so it keeps working where water-based lube washes off. Be careful with drips on the shower floor, which can make tiles slippery; rinse them away with soapy water afterwards.
