ID millennium - lubricant by I-D Lubricants - review by Dame Demi

I fully admit it - I just don’t get it. I don’t understand the appeal of silicone-based lubes. I mean, most of them work fine as lubricants, but I don’t see the justification in spending 2 or 3 times the amount of money for a silicone-based lube, especially when they’re incompatible with different types of toys. The one exception to this is when engaging in water-play; there silicone really performs well by staying slick and not washing away.

ID Millennium silicone lubricant is, in my opinion, no better and no worse than any other silicone lube I’ve tried so far. The lube is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It is very thin, with a watery consistency that is nonetheless quite slick. This slickness is quite durable and doesn’t wear off with prolonged use - the lubrication keeps on going and going.

As a lubricant for sexual intercourse, I enjoyed ID Millennium, since it was thin and not sticky, and provided just the right amount of friction reduction. As I said earlier, for water play, it stays in place and is hard to beat.

Silicone lubes just don’t cut it for me when it comes to toy use, though. I find the sensation from silicone lubes to be “slick” rather than “slippery,” and they just don’t provide the level of comfort I want when using a textured toy (smooth toys are fine). The thin silicone seems to get lost in the nooks and crannies of a textured toy, and much of the lubrication properties are lost.

Still, ID Millennium performs well for a silicone lube. It is clean and slick-feeling, and quite unobtrusive - it’s easy to forget you’re even using a lube. It also cleans up rather easily for a silicone lube, wiping off with some vigorous scrubbing with a baby wipe and a dry towel. Most importantly, it doesn’t leave a sticky residue, and comes off quite cleanly.
