A smooth and sexy glide, but not a smart one

For those women who have no problems with the ingredients, it is absolutely fabulous and worth the purchase. For those like me who cannot or simply choose not to use products with glycerin, petro-chemicals and parabens, it's best to skip it and look elsewhere, though saying it certainly feels like a shame.

Use

There's a reason this lubricant is made widely available at doctor's offices and clinics. It is a great everyday product that will meet all your vaginal penetration needs. Because it is water based, it's compatible with all your toys and is completely condom safe. The only drawback to ID Glide is its ingredient list. Glycerin, parabens, petro-chemicals- they're all inside this lube. Though most women can and will successfully use and very much enjoy this product, sensitive consumers or those prone to UTI's or yeast infections will want to pass.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

Thick like a hair gel, for the most part ID Glide will stay put. Putting it in your hands and on your skin will feel just like aloe vera gel, feeling only slightly sticky as it dries. Once completely dry, you will have had no idea it was ever there.
    • Slick
    • Thick

Taste / Aroma

ID Glide has no discernible scent or flavor, just a slight sweetness due to the glycerin. Because it lacks a pleasing flavor, I would not recommend it for use in oral sex.
    • No smell
    • No taste

Performance

In many clinics and medical offices, you will find foil packets of this lube, usually a .2 ounce size. In this size, you can get approximately two to three sex sessions, meaning an 8 ounce bottle will last you for 40 days AND 40 nights of great sex. In an average sex session, you likely will not need to reapply because your own natural lubricants will keep the ID glide wet and slick. For a more extended session or one where you may switch positions frequently, reapplication may be needed. When it's time to clean up, a damp towel will do the trick and no soap is necessary unless you are potentially sensitive to glycerin, in which case it's recommended to clean up thoroughly with warm soapy water.
    • Absorbs into skin nicely
    • Allergy concerns

Packaging

The packaging for ID glide isn't particularly discreet, but it may blend in well amongst men's bath products due to the blue flip-top capped bottle.
    • Easy to use / dispense
    • Minimal
    • Travel friendly

Personal comments

Were this product free of glycerin, parabens and petro-chemicals, it would absolutely be my number one lubricant for vaginal intercourse. Its thickness, feel, longevity, ease of use and even easier clean up is an absolute dream. I simply have not felt anything better, but due to my sensitivity to the ingredients I mentioned above, this dream quickly becomes a nightmare.

Experience

After weeks of using Pink Silicone based lubricant, both my boyfriend and I noticed the difference immediately. This thick gel felt cool, wet and wonderful. Entry was easy for both of us and throughout some very good sex, it stayed just as good as when it was first applied. When we ran out we found ourselves searching the dresser drawer for more.
