~~Get Wet...in the right spot!~~

For those tired of the drugstore varieties of lubricants, Wet Gel lube is a good, basic lube that has a few added bonuses. The gel like consistency does stay in place longer than most water based lubes, it lasts for a reasonable amount of time and can be renewed easily with a drop or two of water. Cheaper than the luxury brand lubes, this is a great all around lube that will keep those not allergic to Glycerin products reasonably happy.

Use

Of course you all know what lube is for...solo adventures, toy play and sexual penetration. It obviously works great and is a much needed component for many people. This water based lube is also a very versatile and helpful item to have around the house as well. Just be careful to put it back when you are done using it, others may wonder why your lube is in the kitchen, living room or bathroom and may give you strange looks.

For drilling screws into wood--add a couple dabs to the screw, drill into the wood and forget about it. The lube will reduce friction while drilling and also swell the wood temporarily around the screw, cementing it in place when the lube evaporates.

For hinges on furniture--have little ones who like to teethe on your furniture? Add a dab of lube to keep the hinges rust free and be safe for those little ones who like putting everything into their mouths...even furniture. (Specifically my puppy, but some children may apply.)

Add a small dab to your knife prior to sharpening or cutting thin steak strips for entrees.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

Clear and bubbly, this lube has the texture of a thin hair gel. While it does stay in place for a short but of time, it will thin and drip when it is warmed by your body heat. This lube is a bit thicker than most water based lubes and does work very well with vibrators, masturbators and other sexual toys, but does not work very well with suctioning devices such as pumps. It tends to get sucked up into the tube, effectively clogging it and reducing the amount of suction. This is also a difficult product to clean once it gets into the tubes.

The texture is a bit slicker than your normal body lubricant, but can also feel a bit slimy until it gets the warmth from your body. I did notice a bit of tackiness right before it was absorbed, but once water was added, it did resume its slickness.

This takes a moderate time to absorb, about 20-25 minutes of toy play or masturbation or 30-35 minutes of intercourse. I tried this numerous times and came up with these averages, the actual times vary depending on your activity.
    • Slick
    • Smooth
    • Sticky

Taste / Aroma

The aroma is not noticeable until your nose is very close to the lube. You will then notice a bit of a slight chemical smell, but nothing too obvious or offensive. It reminds me a bit of the smell of a doctor's office, but much, much lighter.

The taste, however is a bit more offensive. You can definitely taste a chemical of some sort and it seems to stick inside your mouth until you have removed it by drinking something. I found water did remove the taste, but not as well as something flavored. I noticed the flavor during oral sex long after the lube had absorbed into the skin.

Water does remove the lube easily. There is no residue left if you rinse well with just water. I always use soap and water just to make sure all residues of this lube is removed. It does leave the skin feeling minutely softer, but not enough to really make a difference.

Performance

Lasting, on average, between 20-35 minutes, this is a pretty basic water based lube. It does reactivate when you add a few droplets of water and will last for another 10-20 minutes. I like the gel consistency since it did keep the lube in place long enough to shut the cap and put the bottle down.

Since there are no numbing agents and it is a bit thinner than the normal anal lubes, this may not be one you would choose for anal sex. I would also caution against using this for oral sex due to the offensive chemical flavor and residue left inside your mouth.

The lube is a good quality, but not a luxury lube and does perform fairly well. I almost always use water based lubes due to the easy cleanup and natural feeling consistency. This is also a wonderful item to use around the house and in the garage for those little tasks that need added...help.

Follow-up commentary
This is a decent all around lube. Not quite the high end quality but definitely far from the drugstore variety. I might not purchase this one--but will definitely use the samples for traveling....
