Aqua lube - lubricant discontinued by Pjur® - review by 724-6924

Although a lot of people don't like thinner lubricants for anal, I'm in love with it. This product is so versatile and there are so many uses, it's wild! It's water based so it's easy on toys and it works wonders on dry skin too! You can use it for in-bath moisture (mix a bit with your bath gel), after bath moisture (use it on skin while you're still a bit damp), or for lubrication - and if it gets a little dry (or sticky!), just throw some water (or even saliva) on it and it gets wet all over again.

The ingredients are: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Ethoxydiglycol, Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Benzyl Alcohol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone (a preservative with antibacterial and antifungal properties), and Methylisothiazolinone (a biocide and preservative).

(Side Note: If you have a glycerin allergy, you'll want to stay away from this one.)

While it's thinner than most lubes, it's still a mind blowing experience. It feels more natural and doesn't get very sticky as it dries - again, if it does get a little sticky, just add a little water (or saliva) and you're back on track.

It can surprise you when it comes to pouring it out - so try tipping the bottle at 45 degrees or less, otherwise you'll get a lot more than you planned for - and a little goes a VERY long way with this product.

It doesn't really have a scent or taste, in my opinion. It's very much like water in that regard, so if you're looking for something to go along with foreplay and oral, maybe go with another product, but for masturbation or sex, it's a great odorless product.

During masturbation, for me, it lasts an extremely long time and helps my body to catch up and lubricate itself. For anal, there were a few times where my partner had to add some saliva to help it get back to that liquid silky state again.

For skin moisturizing, I just mix a little in with regular body lotion and it really helps my skin stay moisturized - it doesn't feel sticky or like I need to wash it off at all. It feels very, very silky and very soft after using for a hand or body moisturizer.

When using it both alone and with a partner, the sheets were a bit sticky afterward - it doesn't stay where you need it to stay at all - but sweat, water, and saliva will keep if from feeling sticky on your body. It did not stain the sheets at all, I was afraid of a residual spot, but it didn't leave anything behind - though I did wash the linens right afterward.

I love that it's so versatile. I love knowing I can use it for virtually anything (which helps me justify the expense).

The package is the bottle, which is nice because it's not bulky, but for gift giving, discretion, and/or travel, you'll need to get a gift bag or stick it in your shaving/travel bag. It says clearly on the bottle what it is (and CONDOM SAFE in caps on the front too), so if you're nervous about people seeing it, make sure you put it away when you're finished using it.

It's not a flip top cap, so you'll need both hands (or some deft maneuvering skillaz) to get it open. If you don't store it upright, it can leak inside the cap too - so be aware of that too.

If you leave it in any position except sitting straight up and down or leaning just a bit, it will slowly leak under the cap every time, no matter how tight the cap is screwed on. I do wish it had a different cap, because it's fairly expensive and I felt like it was wasting my product. All of the leaks I experienced were inside the cap only, it did not leak out of the bottle.

There are no special features (warming, cooling, tingling, etc) to this product. It is a simple and straightforward water-based lubricant.

During anal, it really enhanced both of our experiences, to be quite honest. It was so smooth and so slick, it made for painless fingering and anal sex. The slick and silky feeling with fingers was really good for relaxation and arousal - letting us have fun without worrying about pain.
