Astrogloop
Astroglide is just an okay product. It's one of those things to keep on hand "just in case", but its not earth shattering in any way. Prepare to keep applying and all should be ok.Published: December 5, 2011
Pros:
cheap, cleans up easily, fragrance free
Cons:
wears off fast, bad taste, goopy
Astroglide is is your classic water-based lube, no thrills or frills come with it. Because the lube is water-based it is safe for use with all toys, condoms, and body parts. The availability of this product is probably where the reputation comes from. It's a drug store, safe brand shelved with the KY and Durex.
The initial feel of the lube is very soft and silky, but very quickly wears off and requires multiple applications if you wish to have an extended session of play. After multiple applications I found the lube to create a sticky, gooey, unattractive build up of gunk. The build up can and has actually caused some irritation as it balls up and creates a small amount of friction.
Astroglide does not taste good at all! So unless you enjoy the bitter mouth drying sensation, I would highly recommend planning any oral activities around the application or plan to wash off mid play. While the taste is horrible Astroglide is virtually fragrance free, and cleans up easily with soap and water. I have found this lube to leave white marks on sheets (more so than other water based lubes). These spots will disappear with a normal spin through the wash though.
The packaging for this product is plain Jane and about as bland as the product itself. It holds the product and has a simple flip top opening. I have had problems with the bottle top leaking so make sure it is screwed on tight and don't lay it on it's side to store.
All in all this lube is just okay. I wouldn't run out and buy it, but it is a safe pick if you are hard up and need to find something at a local drug store (or just want to have something unfantastic on hand for your guests to use).

Astroglide is a great choice for first time personal lubricant buyer! It can last very long.

Life004This was my first lubricant and after buying numbers of other brands, I still look back at this brand, they can truly last when it comes to playing with any masturbation toys. -
Ok? Glad you like it.

Quote: I absolutely think astroglide is the best all-around lube on the market. Let me know what you think.I would definitely agree with you there! I always used to use different KY ones and the occasional one from different surprise-party type companies, but there was always something about them that I hated. Finally I was introduced to astroglide and haven't used anything else since :D

Astroglide is ok, but I find it doesn't work that well for anal sex. I use Maximus for that, as I am naturally a wet person, and don't really need lube for anything else.

98 Reviews? Are You Serious???
-
Can you believe there are 98 reviews on Astroglide? I was just browsing through lubes and thought I might find a good one to review, and I saw that it had 98!!! No kidding, check the page! What do you think of this, folks? Are you as surprised as me?
-
Most likely because reviewers starting out have to review cheaper items first. I'd guess that lubes and massage balms/oils would be many reviewers' first picks since they'd want to buy the stuff anyway. :P

A lot of people use Astroglide, so it doesn't surprise me. I reviewed it myself :)

Thank you for viewing Astroglide – water based lube review page!
Never been Astroglide fans here either. There's so many better products out there. Thanks for the review.
I have been told by other reviewers to stay away from this stuff. I think the color would bother me too.
Thanks
nice review
