Silicone feels great, but water based is safest.

Water based. Specifically Sliquid Organics Natural.

Depends on the use. LOVE silicone for partner play and any non-silicone toys, but alas my favorite toys are silicone and thus not compatible. But what it really comes down to is brand and type. There are some water based lubes that are far better than some silicone. But as it stands my favorite silicone beats my favorite water based.

If I'm not using silicone toys I love to use silicone based lubes. When I use water based lubes I am either using a silicone toy, or I want that "wet" feeling you get from water based lubes.

I like to use silicone lube for anal sex or anal toys that are not silicone. I use water based lube for vaginal intercourse, toys that are silicone.

Silicone feels great on glass, especially anally.

I prefer water based but I will use silicone at times. Mostly because I have had a bartholin cyst and my doctor told me it was the lube I was using. Which is why I never use oil based lube, and only use silicone lubes infrequently (vaginally).

I said water based, but truth be told I haven't tried silicone.

Seems like It would make toys last longer.

I use a lot of silicone toys, so I stick to water based.

Water, although silicone holds up to water play. (Shower/tub, etc.)

water based. It was the first I was introduced to and its compatable with silicone toys

I have actually never used a silicone based lube, but I will be soon since I've ordered some new glass.

Water based. No chance of mixing it up with my silicone toys by accident.

I use both but mostly water based because of silicone toys. However, if I COULD use silicone based for everything, I would because it has better staying power.
