Liquid silk - lubricant discontinued by Bodywise Limited - review by Alegna

Liquid Silk|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|Classic Dildos 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|Anal Lubes 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.
