Plastic female condoms come lubricated with a silicone-based lubricant. Unlike most male condoms, which are made of latex, plastic condoms can be used with any type of lubricant—whether made with water, silicone, or oil.

Some female condoms come with additional lubricant in the package. Some clinics may be able to provide clients with more lubricant. If a client needs additional lubrication, she can also use clean water, saliva, any oil or lotion, or a lubricant made of glycerine or silicone.
