Product Details
Summary:
This lube works for simple things as vaginal ball insertion or butt plug insertion but it completely fails when it comes to using toys for thrusting or during and penetrative sex. The lube becomes quite gross and dries up quickly when used in this manner. There are better options available.Pros:
Water-based
Cons:
Glycerin, Parabens, sticky, dries quickly, formation of gross texture
Best use:
This lube is a simple lube that can be used vaginally or anally. This lube could be used by a novice or a connoisseur. It is not likely to work out well when used in areas where water is involved, such as a shower/bath, spa, or pool. Ideally this is best for inserting vaginal balls or a plug, something that won't be thrusted in and out.It is waterbased therefore it will not react to any toys per say. It does contain ingredients that can be irritating to some women.
The ingredients are: Purified water, Glycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Gluconolactone, Methylparaben, and Sodium Hydroxide.
It contains glycerin and parabens, so it can be irritating for some and cause yeast infections for those who are more sensitive to them.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity:
It is jelly-like in texture. Basically, thicker than regular waterbased lube. It is smooth when rubbed in. It holds its shape very well and will stay put where ever it is applied.
The bottle makes it so that the lube is easily dispensable. Simply open the cap and squeeze. For one session you can re-apply a few times but a dime size dollop is enough to cover a shaft/toy.
The lube is quite smooth, it looks thick but when rubbed in, it thins out quite well without losing its lubricating texture. It does not feel sticky on initial application, it does get stickier over time and needs to be re-hydrated by saliva, water, or a reapplication of lube.- Base:
- Water
- Ingredients:
- Purified water, Glycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Gluconolactone, Methylparaben, Sodium Hydroxide
- Color:
- Clear
-
Taste / Aroma:
It sort of has a synthetic smell but it is very minimal. It is quite light and barely noticeable. It has a slight sweet taste but it's barely there also. Therefore, those who don't like flavored lube this might work out better for you compared to other lubes which are flavored.
- Flavor:
- Unflavored

Performance:
This lube is not the best I have tried.
It stays wet pretty long during solo use (lasted a little over 30 mins for me) but when a toy is used for thrusting or when it is applied for PIV sex, things go downhill. The lube becomes lumpy. It gathers up into sticky balls reminiscent of glue that you would rub off your hands as a child. It dries up quickly and gets all sticky and full of little sticky lumpy balls. It is not good for anal sex. Although it did not cause any irritation or burning sensations it just dries up quickly and gets gross. It isn't good either for manual stimulation of the penis.
It needed to be washed off every time it had been used for thrusting. When using it for inserting vaginal balls it hasn't lumped together so I would just wipe off the excess lube after use.
It's easy to clean up since it is water based but its not appealing to be lumpy in your sexy areas!- Safety features:
- Hypoallergenic
- Special features:
-
- Moisturizer
-
Packaging:
It came in a small cardboard bx with the identical information provided on the tube of lube itself.

Experience:
I am such a skeptic when it comes to KY. I have tried their products before and they have always failed for me but I thought I'd give this one a try hoping perhaps their formula had changed.
It hasn't! It just made me feel so uncomfortable and so self-conscious to have the lube all sticky and creating those gross little lube balls all over my nether region. It was not a fun experience and I don't recommend this lube to anyone.

During sex it rolls into little sticky pieces and makes me feel like I need to shower. I wouldn't buy it again.

There is better stuff out there, but this is a good fall-back.
nice
Yuck
It makes me sad when i see people with this product There's so much better stuff out there!
Horrible lube...don't waste the money.
I hate this stuff, its popularity is simply based upon being widely available and advertised.
My vagina does not approve.
Love this product
Not a fan, I feel like ky is popular because of how mainstream it is, as lube it simply isn't good. I'm surprised its rating is so high!
i absolutely hate this stuff.
dries out way too fast
So thick and goopy and gross.
I hate KY products. Once applied they thin out, dont last long and I think Im allergic because when I use them it feels like when you get soap all up in your business. OUCH
meh
Its ok but it gets dry and sticky.
Classic
love this stuff
It's so thick and like many are saying "cheap."
good for breaking in cars. yep, my sis is a nurse and she had some in her car for taking care of her patients in home health. she busted this out to slide the slim jim in the window when we locked our keys in another car.
it's alright as a cheap lube available every where
I don't mind it for my hand.
will have to give this a try
not the best stuff.
Ah, the classic lube.
doesnt last too long, leaves odd residue, still good though
does not leave me feeling clean at all
This was the first lube I ever used (with partner and for toys), and I continue to use it. I subtracted a star because it tends to dry out and you have to keep re-applying it - but for the product's low cost and ubiquity, I can't complain.
It's funny how i have heard really good things about this lube, but when I used it with my partner, it pretty much failed. It wasn't slippery enough and it had to keep being applied. The nice thing is that you can get it for pretty cheap and it's easy to find but there are definitely better ones.
been using this for my toys and it doesnt stick well it just runs off and smells funny and if u get it on ur clothes well that smell doesnt go away till u wash them
Def the most natural feeling lube I've ever used just not the best
K-Y Jelly kinda sucks if you read the back it says Condom use only and its doesnt last long you have to keep applying it over and over and it gets really messy i wouldnt recommend this at all.
