Pjur Woman Silicone Based Personal Lubricant (3.4oz)

pjur Woman is a silicone lube in a softer, lighter formula than pjur's original, made for long-lasting, silky glide with just a few drops. It suits anyone who finds water-based lube dries out too soon, especially for longer sex or during times of dryness. This is the 3.4 oz (100 ml) bottle, made without water, perfume, parabens or preservatives.

Softer and thinner than standard silicone

Many silicone formulas feel heavy or slick enough to numb sensation. pjur Woman is formulated to be softer and less viscous than pjur's classic silicone, so it spreads thinly and feels silky rather than slippery. It still has the main advantage of silicone: it doesn't soak into the skin or evaporate like water-based gels, so it keeps working without turning sticky or drying out. That makes it a good match for people who find water-based lube needs constant topping up, or who notice dryness partway through sex.

How much to use

Only a few drops. Squeeze a small amount onto your fingers, warm it for a second, and apply it where you want extra glide. Because silicone stays on the surface, you'll rarely need to reapply; if you do, a drop or two is enough. Starting small also avoids the oily feel that using too much can leave. pjur says it can also be used for massage and to leave skin feeling soft, so whatever is left on your hands can simply be rubbed in.

What's in it, and what isn't

The ingredient list is short: cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone and dimethiconol, three forms of silicone. pjur makes it without fats, parabens, preservatives, water, perfume or added flavours, and says it doesn't block pores. pjur also describes it as non-irritating on vaginal tissue. As with any lube, stop if irritation develops, and avoid using it on irritated skin. It isn't a contraceptive and contains no spermicide.

Condoms, toys and the shower

Silicone formulas are generally compatible with latex condoms, and pjur Woman is sold as latex-condom compatible. With toys, it's a different story: silicone-based products can damage the surface of silicone toys, so pair it with glass, stainless steel or hard plastic toys, or use a water-based lube with your silicone ones. Because it doesn't wash off with water, it works in the shower or bath, but it makes tiles and tubs very slippery, so wipe up drips straight away and step carefully. A wash with soap and warm water removes it from skin; spills on fabric should be treated promptly.

Who it suits

pjur Woman is a good fit if you want one bottle that lasts: long sessions, sex in the shower, or times when your body needs more help with moisture than usual. It's also a sensible first silicone formula for anyone who has found classic silicone too slick, because the lighter texture is easier to get used to. If most of your toys are silicone, or you prefer a lube that rinses away with plain water, a water-based gel will suit you better, and many people keep one of each.
