Short answer
Silicone lube can react with the surface of some silicone toys, especially lower-grade or blended silicone, leaving them sticky, soft or pitted. High-quality platinum-cured silicone is less likely to react. To be safe, spot test a small dab on the base of the toy overnight, then wash and check it. If anything changes, stick to water-based lube with that toy.
