How to Use Astroglide Silicone Lubricant

Quick answer

Apply a small drop of Astroglide X silicone lubricant to your fingertips and spread it evenly over the area you want to lubricate. Reapply as needed—it lasts longer than water-based lubes and won't wash off in water.

Step-by-step guide

1. Step 1: Start with a small amount: Squeeze a drop about the size of a dime onto your fingertips. Silicone lube spreads easily, so you can always add more if needed. Common mistake: using too much at once, which can make things overly slippery and messy.
2. Step 2: Apply to the desired area: Rub the lube onto the area you want lubricated—on your partner, yourself, or directly onto a condom. Spread it evenly. For anal or vaginal play, apply to both the opening and the toy or penis. Common mistake: forgetting to apply to both surfaces, which can cause uneven lubrication.
3. Step 3: Reapply as needed: Because silicone lube doesn't dry out, you may not need to reapply often. If things start to feel less slick, add another small drop. Common mistake: assuming you need as much as water-based lube—silicone lasts much longer, so use less. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place to prevent leaks and keep the formula consistent.
4. Step 4: Clean up afterward: Wash the lube off your skin with warm water and mild soap. It may take a little more scrubbing than water-based lube. For sheets or clothing, pre-treat any stains with a stain remover before washing in hot water. Common mistake: using only water to rinse—soap is necessary to break down the silicone.
