Silicone-based lubricants outlast water-based formulas by a significant margin and do not require reapplication during use. Pjur's Bodyglide is the reference point in this category: it is thin, long-lasting, and does not leave the residue that cheaper silicone formulas produce. Swiss Navy Silicone and System JO are close competitors for different budgets. Silicone is the standard for most non-toy use once you've made the switch.
The one rule with silicone lube is toy compatibility: silicone-based formulas can degrade silicone toy surfaces over time. Use them with glass, metal, or hard plastic toys. For silicone toys, switch to a water-based formula.
