How long is lube good for?

The shelf life of lubricant varies depending on the type and ingredients. Generally, water-based lubes can last about one to two years, while silicone-based lubes may last up to three years or more. Always check the expiration date on the packaging and store lubricants in a cool, dry place to maintain their effectiveness. If a lube changes in color, consistency, or smell, it's best to discard it.
