ID glide review

If you’re looking for a water-based lubricant, I do feel confident recommending ID Glide as a great, all-purpose basic lube. However, I’m still on the look out for one that will rival the sensation of silicone.
Published: May 14, 2008
Pros:
Toy and condom compatible, no scent or flavor, sturdy packaging.
Cons:
Not waterproof, I need to use a lot during a given session.

extremely useful review
If you’ve read any of my other reviews, you might have noticed that ID Millennium is my current reigning lube-of-choice. However, Millennium is a silicone-based lube, and is unfortunately not suitable for pairing with silicone toys.

That brings me to the product at hand for this review: ID Glide Water-Based Lubricant.

ID Glide is a good lube. However, because I’ve been spoiled by Millennium for so long, I have to say that I’m always left a little disappointed by the performance and sensations ID Glide provides.

Here are the perks: ID Glide is toy and condom compatible, which means you never have to worry about your lube corroding or ruining your playthings or plaything covers. It has virtually no scent or flavor, which is great when, like me, you enjoy giving your toys some vag-to-mouth attention occasionally. It’s thick enough to stay where you put it without running all over, but not so thick that it makes a goopy mess and reduces all sensation. It comes in very simple and liquid-tight packaging, with lids that open and close easily in the heat of the moment. I’ve frequently tossed my bottle of ID Glide on the bed immediately after snapping the lid closed, and never has the bottle leaked or come back open.

However, the things I don’t love about ID Glide are as follows: it’s not as silky as silicone lube, it’s not waterproof (which means I can’t get it on with my lube in a tropical lagoon situation if the need arises), and I always feel like I have to use a ton of it to get the level of slipperiness I prefer. While ID Glide doesn’t dry up quickly, I frequently find myself reapplying during a solo-funtime session.

If you’re looking for a water-based lubricant, I do feel confident recommending ID Glide as a great, all-purpose basic lube. In general, it gets wonderful reviews, and the down-sides in my experience are really based on personal preference, not the product's objective specifications. However, I’m still on the look out for one that will rival the sensation of silicone.
Follow-up commentary
A few nights ago, I decided to try using my ID Glide with my nipple cylinders and hand pump. Using lube on the nipples (or other areas, for that matter) helps create a more secure seal, resulting in a more successful pumping session. The cylinders are meant to stay on for a somewhat extended period of time (between 20 and 40 minutes), and the lubricant is helps to facilitate that process.
Unfortunately, when exposed to the open air for 20 minutes, the lube on the outside edges of my nipples got sticky quite fast, and didn't seem to create a tighter seal than un-lubed nipples. It did wash off easily, but was pretty ineffective for use outside of the vagina's dark, moist environs.

Millenium is really that much better?  I've always found Glide to be good for me.  But if theirs something better out there,,,

I've always preferred Millennium, but since it's silicone, I can't use it for all my toys. Ideally, I'd also love to find a water-based lube that is as silky and long-lasting as my silicone lube.

  • I received a sample and want to make sure it's the real thing before writing a review.
    • I got this sample with a wholesale order:

      Is this the one EF is selling in larger bottles, so can I review it?
    • It looks the same to me. If you're going to review it, do note that you have a smaller sample size tho.

      I would mention that. It got pretty good ratings but it's like the worst thing I ever tried maybe 2/5. So not sure if it's just my personal preference or just plain different. Ingredients looks like the same tho. I read your durex warming review! I like that lube and use it to the day. This is far worse than that in terms of smell and performance. I got a premium silicone lube recently and I can finally understand why people gave 2/5 to the durex warming :) But I like it anyway, it's different. But made me realize what tacky really means and now I got a better picture.

  • Why is this product not sold in the same types of containers?
    • I am wondering why the different weights are sold in different containers. The 17.5 oz. container looks the best, but costs more. The 4 oz bottle looks weird, and I don't like it. They should be sold in same-looking containers. Any comments? Agreements?

      I'd noticed that, too, and I think it's a bit odd. I think it'd be much better if they made them all the same as you suggested. I guess they figure they're just giving people a choice in the way the lube is disposed?

      The Gun Oil lube bottles look pretty much the same except for size or if it has a pump. Personally it doesn't bother me what the bottle looks like. Some I am sure are easier to conceal in a pocket or purse for the purpose of travel. Others do to their size like the one I baught being 35 oz. looks like a shampoo bottle and you could probably have out in the open as long as someone didn't take to close a look at it. I am sure they had their reasons for making the bottles the way they did.
