When is a silicone lubricant the better choice? Silicone lubricant is not absorbed by the skin and does not dissolve in water, so it keeps going long after a water-based product would need topping up. That makes it the usual pick for shower and bath play, and for longer sessions in general. Xtreme Glide is a silicone-based lubricant of this type. The maker describes it as long lasting, never sticky or tacky, slippery even under water and usable as a massage oil. It is also latex condom compatible.
Xtreme Glide 8.5 oz: long-lasting silicone slip
Xtreme Glide is a silicone-based personal lubricant from Body Action, sold here in the 8.5 oz bottle. It is long lasting and waterproof, so it remains slippery in the shower or bath. It does not turn sticky or tacky, and it has no odor. The maker also suggests it as a massage oil. It is compatible with latex condoms, described as sex toy friendly, and wipes away with a wet cloth.
Best for: For couples and solo users who want glide that lasts through long sessions or water play, and for those who like one bottle for both massage and sex. The 8.5 oz size is for people who use silicone lubricant often.

How to use
Start with a few drops, as silicone lubricant spreads a long way. Apply it to skin or a condom and add more only if needed. For massage, warm a little between your palms first. Before using it on a silicone toy, test a drop on the toy's base. Wipe off with a wet cloth, and wash with soap and water to remove the rest.
Care
- Close the cap after use and store the bottle upright.
- Wipe up spills at once, as silicone makes floors and tubs very slippery.
- Remove from skin with a wet cloth, then soap and water.
- Keep at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
- Keep out of the reach of children.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use it in the shower?
Yes. The maker describes Xtreme Glide as waterproof and says it stays slippery even under water. Take care with footing, because any silicone lubricant that reaches the floor of a tub or shower is slick.
Is it safe with condoms and toys?
It is listed as latex condom compatible and sex toy friendly. With silicone toys, a spot test on the base is a sensible precaution for any silicone-based lubricant. Wash toys with soap and water afterward.
How do I clean it off?
The maker says it cleans up easily with a wet cloth. Soap and warm water take off whatever is left on skin. Treat fabric promptly if any lands on sheets.
What is the difference from the 4.8 oz bottle?
Only the amount. Both bottles hold the same silicone-based Xtreme Glide. The 8.5 oz bottle is the larger one for frequent use, and the 4.8 oz is easier to store or travel with.
