Oh, My God! Thick, not slick.

Overall, Sliquid Organics is a lovely niche lubricant that should speak to the "green" sensibility. The ingredients are safe to ingest during oral fun and should be soothing to most due to its organic aloe content. It's quite expensive for a product that needs such frequent re-application, but I would recommend it to women with allergies or to anyone who cares about what is going into their mucous membranes.

Use

This is great for more sensitive, touchy vaginas, like mine. It will appeal to anyone looking for a decent, water-based lube that is void of all the parabens, propylene glycol, and other questionable ingredients. I thought it might be good for anal; however, it dries out fairly quickly and isn't slick enough for my needs. This lube does a decent job of mimicking natural vaginal lubrication (for a while, at least).

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

I expected this product to have a much more slippery feel. I enjoy the fact that it's quite thick, which is exactly what I expect of a gel. It is thick enough that when half the bottle is gone, it tends to be a bit tough to squeeze out. The plus side is that it goes where you want it to and doesn't ooze away into the sheets, contributing to the wet spot. It's neither tacky nor greasy.
    • Needs frequent re-application
    • Smooth
    • Thick

Taste / Aroma

I didn't discern any real aroma, despite the botanical ingredient list. The taste is pretty neutral: not particularly good, but not gag inducing. If you're looking for something that's inoffensive yet effective, this is a good pick out of the natural lubes I've sampled.
    • Light smell
    • Light taste
    • Neutral

Performance

The only issues with this lube are its lifespan and how it feels if you have micro-tears in your vagina/vulva from rough sex. You have to reapply it often, especially under vigorous thrusting conditions. It tends to sting if I have any irritation from shaving or from crazy sex marathons. On the plus side, I never feel the need to wash up from it. It absorbs like a dream, and I feel good about the ingredients I'm absorbing!
    • Absorbs into skin nicely
    • Dries up too fast
    • Reapply often

Packaging

The bottle is very earthy and pretty. Honestly, I would've thought it was a lotion or other innocuous beauty product had I seen it on another person's bedside table. The opaque bottle makes it difficult to see how much product remains, but it is aesthetically pleasing. If not for its freakish ability to generate telltale "crusties" along the cap, I would leave it out in the open in the company of anyone. This is an item I'd take traveling with me without worry, as I doubt it would leak -- and if it did, it would clean up easily. I really like that it is recyclable. The label also clearly states what's NOT in the product (glycerin, parabens, petroleum) and that it's vegan -- with, of course, no animal testing involved.
    • Discreet looking packaging
    • Does not leak
    • Travel friendly
Follow-up commentary
I know that I mentioned this is hard to get out of the bottle as you get towards the end, and that is still an issue that gets to be more of a bother as I reach the end of my supply.

However, after trying samples of many other water-based lubes, I'm more and more happy with Sliquid. It works great for inserting my Luna Balls and is definitely adequate for sex and masturbation. I find with harder types of toys, I still prefer something slicker and with simpler ingredients so as to avoid chafing and irritation.

Overall, though, this will become my go-to water-based lubricant unless something better reaches my radar. I really like Sliquid's ingredients, and I feel like I'm doing something good for my body when I choose this lube over one with synthetics.

Thanks for the review. This is definitely one of the best water-based lubricants I have tried, and I love that it's organic.

Thanks for all the comments, everyone. My first review, haha, I remember it fondly

eeep, I am liking it more and even got a second bottle. It's up there with Hathor for me as far as natural water-based lubes. Both are awesome, I just find this one a better value than Hathor overall based upon prize/size/how much I need to use.

  • Vegan? Awesome. but humanly ethical?
    • are any of the ingrediants fair trade?
    • Your best bet to get answers to questions like this is to either ask the Eden staff via support ticket, or contact the manufacturers directly.
    • Quote: are any of the ingrediants fair trade?
      I'd do some research on them, even send your question in to the company. That'd probably get you somewhere? I really don't know much about them. I've tried a couple lubes, but didn't even like em.

  • Too Sticky
    • Ive tried about every lubricant known to man at this point.. I can't find one that I like. They're too sticky, too runny, leaves a residue behind, dries out after too short of a time period. Im frustrated....Anyone have some good suggestions for me? Thanks!
    • I like the sliquid line, as I too have problems with sticky lube and tacky residue from them. I've only tried a few so far, the Sliquid Organics Silk is the best of them for this. The Sliquid Organics Gel only got sticky once on me, when I accidentally added way too much lube (was reviewing a toy that was larger than I am used to).
    • I like the Wet Synergy, the Shunga Toko Aroma, and the Fun Factory Body Fluid. To me, none of these have been sticky, although the Synergy and Body Fluid will probably leave a "residue" because they both have silicone in them. However I've found that wiping with a wipe has removed any of the residue that I was feeling.

    • We've used the naturals, how are the organics? Better, worse, same?
    • Quote: We've used the naturals, how are the organics? Better, worse, same?
      I would like to know that too, I would also like to know the best natural types and what are the main differences between naturals and organics.
    • This is also of interest to me - I just ordered the naturals, but this organic gel caught my eye too.. wondering how it's different/better, if it is at all.

  • Expiration date?
    • What would be the shelf life of these?
    • I'm not an expert on lube but I usually toss stuff after one year. If it smells funny or anything you might toss it even sooner.
    • Yea I agree. Most of them dont really say much. But I wouldnt keep them in really hot or humid areas and sounds about right to tosss em out if you see anything different. (scent, color, etc)

      Right, that's a water based lubricant.
