SHUNGA Toko - Silicone Lubricant 165 ml

The Shunga Toko silicone lubricant belongs to a different family. Where a water base dries and needs restarting, a silicone base holds without evaporating: this is the lubricant of long sessions, and of water. One hundred and sixty-five millilitres, a very silky texture. One trade-off in return, and it matters: silicone does not like silicone.

Why choose this lubricant

• Very long-lasting glide — a silicone base does not evaporate and does not need reapplying.
• Water-resistant — the only type of lubricant that holds in a shower or a bath.
• Very little is enough — a few drops cover what several doses of a water formula would need.
• Condom-friendly — silicone does not attack latex, unlike oil-based products.
• 165 ml format — the same as the rest of the Toko range, for far slower consumption.

How to use it

1. Patch-test a small amount on your inner wrist 24 hours before first use.
2. Check your accessory's material before any combined use.
3. Apply only a few drops: the useful dose is far smaller than with a water formula.
4. Spread it; there is no need to reapply during use.
5. Wash with lukewarm water and soap — water alone will not do — then close the bottle.

Care and precautions

A silicone lubricant can damage the surface of a silicone accessory, which becomes sticky or tacky irreversibly. Check your accessory's material and leaflet before any combined use; if in doubt, test on the base of the object. For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes and do not apply to broken, irritated or freshly waxed skin. Check the ingredient list if you have a known allergy. A silicone base makes surfaces slippery: take care in a shower or bath, and be aware that it marks fabric more lastingly than a water formula. This product is not a contraceptive and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Close after use, keep away from heat and light, and keep out of reach of children. If you experience redness, itching or irritation, stop using it and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

Frequently asked questions

Can it be used with a silicone accessory?

It is not advised. Silicone can degrade silicone irreversibly. A glass, metal or ABS accessory does not pose this problem.

Is it condom-compatible?

Yes. Unlike oils, silicone does not attack latex.

Does it hold under water?

Yes, that is its main advantage over a water base.

How is it cleaned off?

With lukewarm water and soap. Water alone will not do.

Is as much needed as with a water-based lubricant?

No, far less. The bottle lasts noticeably longer.

SoPigalle tip: start with three drops. The water-lubricant reflex — use plenty and top up — does not apply here, and the excess is paid for in a soapy feel.
