No product matches every filter.
A hybrid lubricant, or water-silicone blend, combines a water base with a small amount of silicone. The water gives a lighter feel and easier clean-up, while the silicone adds cushion and keeps the glide going longer, which is why many are described as long-lasting. People often describe them as creamy and silky without the heaviness of a pure silicone formula.
Hybrids are usually condom-safe with latex and polyisoprene condoms, but because they contain silicone, treat them as you would silicone lube around silicone toys and check the maker's note. Hybrids are the smallest slice of the market, which makes it a good category to explore if water-based formulas dry out too fast for you.

Usually. The water content helps them rinse off more readily, though soap still helps.
Hybrid lube is worth a try if water-based formulas dry out too fast for you but pure silicone feels heavy or is hard to wash off. Check the maker's notes on condoms and toys first.
