Lelo personal moisturizer - lubricant by LELO - review by biancajames

I got this lube as a freebie when I ordered the Ella a while back.

Ingredients: Water, Propylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Aloe Barbadenis Leaf Juice, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Gurana Extract, Ginseng Extract, Avena Sativa Extract, Polysorbate-20, Aspartame, Polyquaternium-5, PEG-45M, Citric Acid.

For the Latin impaired, this lube has some cool botanical ingredients like Aloe Vera juice and Oat extract (Avena Sativa, not to be confused with Cannabis Sativa!). I'm used to Guarana and Ginseng appearing in energy drinks, not lube, so I can't testify as to what they're doing there...Energizing my crotch? And on the upside there's no glycerin, parabens, or other ingredients that negatively impact some people's bodies. As a water-based lube, it should be safe for use with any kind of toy.

This lube is about average thickness, and has a weird tendency to "feel" sticky even if it's not actually sticky. There's something about the texture I don't like, I guess. It absorbs into the skin fairly well but will leave a kind of filmy feeling behind. If I haven't opened the bottle in the while, the excess lube that's leaked into cap the will form kind of gross, rubbery lube "boogers" .

This lube works fine for female masturbation and vaginal sex but has a little too much friction for handjobs in my opinion. I've also used it while anally stimulating a male partner, who experienced a little bit of irritation/burning with it, so I wouldn't recommend it for anal.

The smell is very mild, sort of like white glue. The taste is tolerable but not scrumptious- a lot bitter, a little sweet. It feels a little bit warming if you blow on it.

The 75ml flip-top squeeze bottle is portable but not ideal for travel. Sure, it's small enough for airplace travel, but if your toy bag is on the floor and you accidentally step on it, the squeezy bottle is going to pop open and squirt everywhere. (Yes, this happened to me, and this is why I prefer small, harder plastic bottles.)

This is a perfectly acceptable lube as a freebie, but there was nothing about it that stood out to me enough that I would actively seek to purchase it again.
