This toy was definitely designed
Liquid Silk is by far my favorite lube. Like most novices, I started out years ago with the "drugstore" brands of lube. They were always a total disappointment. I got more lube on my sheets and thighs than I did anywhere useful, because it ran off my hand or dripped down my arm before I could get it where I needed it.
I finally wised up and ordered some Liquid Silk. Because it's thicker than most brands, it doesn't drip off my fingertips before they make it to my
dildoe or my pussy. More lube on my junk and less on my bed! What a deal. It's also a good compromise for those of us who would like to use lotion for
anal sex but need something water-soluble in order to safely use condoms. It doesn't eliminate friction entirely, which is a problem I have with some lubes-- I still want to feel like I'm getting fucked! --but it's still plenty slick for anal play or other penetration. It's a popular choice with partners who "don't like lube", because it feels a lot like natural vaginal juices instead of alien slime. The final benefit? For the times I'm a lazy femme and fall asleep right after sex, the residue doesn't get flaky on my skin.
The downsides? As most people mentioned, it tastes bitter. I don't find this to be a deal-breaker; I just make sure my first few licks use a lot of saliva to help dilute it. When it starts to dry and get sticky, adding more lube doesn't really help, and neither does spit-- it really needs a splash of water to get it slippery again. It dries a lot quicker in air, so the inside of any orifice you use it in will stay wet, but it's not a great choice for masturbation.
Check out Maximus, definitely. I think it would satisfy in most areas that Liquid Silk is lacking.
Also one of my favorite lubes, though I prefer its thicker brother Maximus for toy or anal play.
