Toy and condom compatibility
Water-based lubricant is commonly selected for silicone and other toy materials, but compatibility should never be assumed. Check both labels. For condoms or barriers, use only a formula specifically stated to be compatible with that material.
Use, storage and cleanup
Apply a small amount and add more when required. Stop using it if irritation occurs. Close the bottle after use, store as directed and observe the stated expiry or period-after-opening guidance.
