Pjur Analyse Me Silicone Personal Lubricant - 250 ml Bottle

The pjur Analyse Me Silicone Personal Lubricant is a silicone-based lubricant that comes in a 250 ml bottle. Its formula combines dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane and dimethiconol with jojoba seed oil, and it contains no water, fats, perfumes, parabens or preservatives. pjur says a few drops are enough, that the glide lasts a long time and that it doesn't turn sticky or dry out.

Who it suits and who it doesn't

It's a good fit if water-based lubricants don't go the distance for you and you'd like one that, according to the brand, lasts a long time without topping up and without a sticky feel. If you steer clear of perfumes and preservatives in anything that goes on your skin, you won't find them here. It also works as a massage oil, so one bottle covers both uses.

If you mostly use silicone toys, you'd do better to look elsewhere: as it's silicone-based, it's generally best not to combine it with that material, as it may damage it. It isn't for you either if you can't tolerate jojoba, as jojoba seed oil is among the ingredients.

How to use it and look after it

1. Use just a few drops: pjur states that this is enough.
2. If you're using it for massage, spread it over your skin. The brand says it can also be used to moisturise and condition it.

Compatibility

• Skin: pjur describes it as non-irritating and says it doesn't clog pores. It contains no perfumes, parabens or preservatives.
• Ingredients: It's a formula without water or fats, based on silicones and with jojoba oil, to which the brand attributes moisturising, nourishing and soothing properties.
• Massage: As well as a lubricant, it can be used as a massage product and for skin care.

General tips

Common good practice for this type of product; these are not the manufacturer's instructions.

• Start with a small amount and add more when you need it; with a condom, apply it to the outside once the condom is on.
• As it's silicone-based, avoid using it with silicone toys, which can be spoilt; with toys made of other materials, test it on a small area first.
• Wipe up anything that drips on the floor straight away: it's very slippery, especially in the shower.
• If you have sensitive skin, test a small amount on the inside of your arm first and wait a while before using it on intimate areas.
• A lubricant is not a contraceptive and doesn't protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Before first use, read the manufacturer's instructions that come with the product: they are the reference for its use, cleaning and safety.
