Neither Thick Nor Rich
I squirted a big dollop into my palm and rubbed my hands together, preparing to do a little massage. When I pulled my hands apart, the lube stretched in hundreds of tiny strings between my palms. Yuck! It was like spider webs. No way in hell was I was putting THAT on my pink parts.Published: April 28, 2009
Pros:
Tasteless.
Cons:
Stringy -- in a creepy, gross way.

Vegetable Glycerin?
-
I've been trying to find a nice lube with safe ingrediants but so far i've found very few and even those have been question. I've read that Vegetable Glycerin is made from vegetable oil and is good for the skin. But i've read that Glycerin can cause skin irritant in some people and in concentrated solutions can damage the mucous membranes. Is there a deffernce with Vegetable Glycerin and just plain Glycerin? or is it the same thing? Is it safe enough to use in lubes? What other ingrediants should i be warry about?

Glycerin is glycerin no matter where it comes from. Calling it vegetable glycerin is an attempt to trick you into thinking its something different. It may have different impurities, coming from a different source, but its still glycerin.

Glycerine is a component that is found in ALL animal and plant cells (including your own cells).
By specifying vegetable glycerin, the manufacturer is only trying to convey that the source of the glycerin is vegan friendly to those who have such concerns. But the chemical itself is the same.
I included a write up of several lube ingredients that people often seek to avoid in one of my reviews (look under the Personal Comments section). I also included links to reliable resources for checking any chemical about which anyone might have concerns. Here's the link to the review: link
Perhaps the descriptions of the various ingredients might be helpful.

Thank you for viewing Probe Thick and rich – lubricant review page!
I will admit the stringy nature of Probe does set a lot of people off. I also don't think I've ever used it for massage either. Do you have a non-flavored lube you prefer?
Yes, the ID Moments. Just posted a review for it.
I thought that one was flavored, thanks!
Pretty sound review.
I dislike the review, well more than that I dislike eden's handling of glycerins. There are different types of glycerin, and the one probe uses is wholly safe for vaginal use. I am prone to infection (any 'wet' lube and most others set me off horribly) I've used it in huge amounts before, and had no problems- it also does well at soothing any irritation I do have, if I have any.
Also the 'thick and rich' is likely in comparison to probe's thinner lube which is VERY thin. There are thicker lubes. But its possible to be TOO thick- some thick lubes I have are so thick they create friction more than they relieve it. So.. I cant say I think this review was done well. Research should be a factor. Looking at probe's site would allow you to know what kind of glycerin they used, and that it is safe for vaginal use.
