What Wet Platinum is
Wet Platinum Premium Lubricant is a silicone-based personal lubricant made by Trigg Laboratories. Its FDA 510(k) summary describes it as a non-sterile, gel-like liquid containing a blend of silicone fluids. FDA cleared it in 2013 (FDA 510(k) K130012) under the classification "Lubricant, Personal" (FDA product classification NUC).
The 510(k) record states that it is compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms, based on testing to the ASTM D7661-10 standard on three brands of latex condoms, two of polyisoprene and one of polyurethane. The same summary says osmolality and pH are not applicable to it because it contains no water (FDA 510(k) K130012).
Wet Platinum lab safety data
What sets Wet Platinum apart is independent lab data that names it. In 2012 testing of over-the-counter lubricants, most water-based gels were hyperosmolar and damaged cells and tissue samples. Wet Platinum was one of two silicone-based lubricants tested, and both caused no significant changes in tissue viability. The researchers rated Wet Platinum among the four safest products in their testing PMID: 23144863. That was a laboratory study, not a trial of comfort or infection in people, and the product bought for it may differ from the formula sold today.
Lubricants as a group have good support. In a five-week double-blind diary study of 2,453 women assigned one of six water- or silicone-based lubricants, lubricant use was associated with higher sexual pleasure and satisfaction and was rarely associated with genital symptoms. Water-based lubricants were associated with fewer genital symptoms than silicone-based ones PMID: 21143591. A family-medicine review recommends silicone- or water-based lubricants for condom users PMID: 40730448, and a WHO/UNFPA/FHI 360 advisory note describes silicone fluids as inert, with minimal effect on latex.
Who Wet Platinum suits
Consider Wet Platinum if you want an inexpensive silicone lubricant that is listed as compatible with latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms.
Consider a water-based lubricant such as Good Clean Love Almost Naked if you have had irritation with silicone products or prefer something that rinses off with water. For dryness that bothers you between times, a scheduled moisturizer may help mild symptoms, and prescription options such as vaginal estrogen are recommended for moderate to severe symptoms; our guide to vaginal dryness during menopause explains the options, and our guide to the best personal lubricants compares all four of our picks.
