When should I choose a silicone lubricant over a water-based one? Silicone lubricant is not absorbed by the skin and does not evaporate the way water-based lube does, so it stays slippery much longer and needs less reapplying. That makes it a good choice for long sessions. The trade-offs are that it takes soap to wash off, and that silicone lubricants are generally not recommended for silicone toys because they can affect the surface. For silicone toys, a water-based lube is the usual pairing.
Mood Silicone Glide: long-lasting and never sticky
Mood Silicone Glide is the silicone lubricant in Doc Johnson's Mood range. It has a slick, velvety feel, and the maker says a few drops are enough. The formula is long-lasting and does not go sticky. It contains no parabens, no glycerin and no sugar, and is described as conditioning for skin.
The bottle holds 4 fl oz (118 mL). The lubricant is non-staining, vegan friendly and PETA certified, and it is made in America.
Best for: For people who find water-based lube dries out too quickly, and for longer sessions alone or with a partner. A good fit for anyone avoiding glycerin, parabens or sugar, and for shoppers who want a vegan, cruelty-free product.

How to use
Start with two or three drops on your fingertips. Silicone lubricant spreads a long way, so it is easier to add more than to remove extra. Smooth it over the area or the toy. If you plan to use it on a silicone toy, check the toy maker's guidance first, or use a water-based lubricant instead. Wipe up any spills on hard floors or in the shower right away, because silicone makes surfaces very slippery. Afterward, wash skin and toys with warm water and soap. Close the cap tightly.
Care
- Wash off with warm water and soap; water alone will not remove silicone lubricant.
- Clean up spills on floors and tubs promptly, since they become slippery.
- Generally avoid silicone lubricant on silicone toys unless the toy maker allows it.
- Store the closed bottle at room temperature, away from sunlight.
- Stop using it if any irritation occurs.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use it with toys?
The maker says it can be used with toys. As general guidance, silicone lubricants suit glass, metal and hard plastic toys well, while silicone toys are normally paired with water-based lube. Check your toy's instructions if you are unsure.
How much do I need?
Very little. The maker says a few drops give a slippery, wet feel. Begin with a small amount and add more only if you need it.
How does it differ from Mood Water Based Lube?
Mood Water Based is a general-purpose lube stated as safe for all condoms and toy materials, and it rinses off with water. This silicone version lasts longer and does not dry out, but needs soap to wash off.
Does it contain glycerin or parabens?
No. The formula is made without parabens, glycerin or sugar. It is also vegan friendly and PETA certified.
Will it stain?
The maker describes it as non-staining. Silicone can leave a slick film on fabric until it is washed, so launder sheets as usual after use.
