Labels vary. Some simply state “Condom compatible,” while others specify compatible materials such as natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, or polyurethane. At least one product listing explicitly warns against use with synthetic polyisoprene condoms.

One fertility formulation lists: deionized water, hypromellose, sodium chloride, glycerol, sodium phosphate, disodium phosphate, methylparaben, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, and calcium chloride. Fertility claims also highlight added calcium and magnesium ions.

Product details typically describe water-based lubricants as washable and often compatible with condoms and sex toys. Silicone-based lubricants are presented as longer‑lasting and water‑resistant, but they may advise against use with other silicone products or certain silicone toys.

Common formats include gels and liquid formulas, sprays, vaginal inserts/ovules, and products packaged in pre-filled single‑use applicators.
