ID Millenium Silicone Based Lubricant

The Bottom Line

ID Millennium is an inexpensive silicone based lubricant. Like all silicone lubricants ID Millennium can be used in water, and is a long lasting lube that requires soap and water to remove. Not everyone will like the feel of silicone lubricant, but if you’re interested in trying it and balk at the cost of premium silicone lubes, ID Millennium can be a good one to try out.

Guide Review - ID Millenium Silicone Based Lubricant

ID Millennium is a good basic quality silicone based lubricant. While the consistency is very thin it feels smooth and slick, not watery at all. When it is applied it almost feels like it is coating the skin, and it makes everything glide. This feeling may not be for everyone, and if you are used to a water based lubricant you might not like it at first (or you might not like it at all).

ID Millennium is glycerin-free and paraben-free, making it a safer choice for those prone to yeast infections and reactions to chemical preservatives.

Never use silicone based lubricants with silicone sex toys as they will destroy them. Some people who prefer the feel of water based lubricant but like the long lasting quality of silicone lubricants mix a little ID Millennium in with their water based lube. This works well, but it means you can’t use that mixture with your silicone sex toys.

ID Millennium is good for a variety of other uses:

  • Great for an oil free body massage
  • It can be used to shine latex and rubber clothing
  • It can be used as a skin moisturizer

Ingredient List: Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol
