Good, But it Could Be Better
Nice for travel or a shared living situation. It's good for everyday use if you only use a little or are content to wash up after. Great, natural feel during use means I'll keep using it but it could still be improved on. It also gets points for lasting pretty well while being water-based.Published: December 6, 2011
Pros:
Smooth and natural feeling, water-based, travel friendly, discreet, glycerin-free
Cons:
Can dry sticky
I originally got the Lelo "Personal Moisturizer" because I wanted something small and discreet. I travel a lot, you have to love airport security! It is perfect for travel since it's water-based (I only want to take one and I want it to be compatible with everything!) and easily cleaned. The packaging also looks like a lotion.
This lube has a really nice, natural texture, feel and goes on easily. For me it lasts pretty well for a water-based formula and for me a little goes a long ways. However it was a little hard for me to distinguish between the lube and natural moisture, a good thing of course, but means it could be different for someone else. It has a subtle aloe smell but it is not very noticeable which I appreciate. I think it is also probably the aloe which makes it feel a little cold at first but it could also be Chicago in December! Either way it warmed up quickly.
The biggest downfall of this lube is that it dries sticky if you use a lot, not a huge issue for me because even if I'm not using lube I like to wash up after, but it is something that would put off some people. On the plus side though, after a warm washcloth it leaves a nice soft feel.
Lelo is known for attractive products and this matches nicely. I got the tube rather than the bottle for convenience. Even so, it is nice and simple and I love that if I forget to put it away no one knows the difference. Also the flip top is easy for quick application, always appreciated in the moment!
Overall I think this is a good choice and I will continue to use it, but from Lelo I expected even better.

Thank you for viewing Lelo personal moisturizer – water based lube review page!
Thanks for the review.
Sounds great, except the left behind sticky. Ick! I can't stand even the slightest feeling of lubricant or even body lotion being on my skin. Bugs the heck outta me. This does sound amazing though! You said it smelled of Aloe, does it contain aloe? Yay if it does! I am an Aloe fanatic. I love it in skincare and in pill form! Lol. Thank you for the review, hon.
PS. Are there any nasty ingredients like glycerin or parabens? Some can't use glycerin due to UTI'S and yeast infection prone.
This sounds nice. I like that it is so discreet.
Thanks for commenting
It does have aloe (which in my experience always means sticky!) and doesn't have glycerin or parabens.
An odd thing i've noticed, reviews are split on whether it's sticky or not, I think it depends on amount used (with a little I don't really notice it) but who knows.... Also I didn't try it but a lot of reviewers comment on a bad taste. Just something else to take into consideration.
good
