Liquid Silk and Silicone Toys

That's a really good question because Dimethicone is a silicone.

Basically it should be ok to use as long as the toy is made of medical grade silicone. There should, in theory, be no reaction. I, personally, wouldn't want to test that out on my own toys though. You can do a patch test on a small part of the toy. The reaction should be immediate if there is going to be one.

Anyone else know about this?

I have had liquid silk react to a silicone toy. Which sucks because I love it.

do a patch test. I use liquid silk with my toys but that's my choice. You are correct in your thinking: Dimethicone will f*ck with your silicone toys.

I tested Liquid Silk on some of my Tantus toys, and there was no reaction. I haven't tried it on their O2 material, or on any other company's silicone, so I can't speak for those. So, Liquid Silk seems to be safe with Tantus toys, but still, do a spot test (bases are a nice, inconspicuous place to use) on EVERY toy before using them with Liquid silk, even if they're from a brand that has always played nicely with the lube in the past.

Tantus toys shouldn't react to that chemical as long as there are no additives because they are made from medical grade platinum silicone.

As far as other toys, I would test them. I used my Jo Warming with so affects, but I will probably set that aside and get something else for silicone just for safety sake (now that I really looked at the ingredients). This may be something you want to add into a review, since it is water based and still reacts to silicone and all.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm not sure I'd want to risk an expensive toy with it, rather than choose a different lube since there's been a few problematic instances. @.@
Patch testing is a great idea! Assuage the paranoia with as little damage as possible.

I've never had Liquid Silk react with any of my silicone toys.

We have used Liquid Silk with the O2 Revolution by Tantus and had no problem. Although it does kind of freak me out now, because I had no idea that there was any sort of silicone in Liquid Silk. I have always been told that it is a water based lubricant that is safe to use with silicone toys. In fact, the Liquid Silk I bought, I purchased from a sex shop that sells ONLY silicone toys. I wouldn't think that they would stock something that would react badly with the toys they sell. Especially considering that they do not sell a wide variety of lubes to begin with and tend to carry more top of the line products.

So, I'm kind of disturbed right now. Has anyone used it with the Tex Vixskin? Any experiences with that?

The first bit of what you're saying is unclear. Are you saying if there are no additives in the toy, or the lube? If you're referring to the Tantus toys, it's not quite correct. Even high quality medical grade platinum silicone can bond with low quality silicone lubricants. The way Metis explained it was that high quality silicone toy + high quality silicone lube is fine, but if either one isn't of the highest quality, you start to risk bonding. Even Tantus toys can be mucked up by a cheap silicone lube.

Geek moment for those who are interested:
It's not really a matter of "reacting", because silicone is inert. When silicone lube ruins a silicone toy, it's bonding to the toy, almost dissolving into it. When both are very high quality, they keep to themselves and are very stable. From what I was told, lower quality silicones aren't as stable, so are more prone to bonding to other silicone.
