Oh. My. Gods.
Fabulous--slick and slippery just like nature's lube without any goop or glop. A little goes a long way and it's absorbed into the skin like a great lotion with zero sticky, dried mess to clean up!Published: September 25, 2008
Pros:
Wonderful slickness, a little goes a long way.
Cons:
Can't be used with silicone toys.
Before getting the Better Sex Essentials silicone lube I had never tried any silicone lube at all. I had NO idea what I was missing.
This stuff is absolutely fabulous. Seriously. Freaking fabulous.
I really have issues with water based lubes staying moist enough. They seem so goopy and go from goopy to dry way too fast. This stuff? It starts out slick and slippery and stays that way for a long, long time.
It's silky. It's light. It glistens.
The first time I used it was a solo use. No toys, no man, just me and my fingers. I swear it was the most erotic masturbation I've had in ages. I couldn't stop LOOKING at how gorgeous it was on my pussy as my fingers worked. Slippery and glistening and absolutely perfect.
I've become addicted.
It's perfect for most of my toys (though you want to avoid using it with silicone toys) and creates the most wonderful sensations. No goopy mess, just slick perfection. [Editor's note: silicone lube is not compatible with toys that contain any amount of silicone, nor with skin-like toys].
We've used it for both vaginal and anal sex and it's performed beautifully.
Massage? Not a problem. My partner likes it so much that he's started dripping it on my breasts and ass and almost compulsively rubbing them while we fuck. Me? I'm not complaining. :)
Toys do need to be cleaned with soap and water after use but I've found that, on skin, this lube eventually just sinks in almost like a good lotion. No lingering stickiness or ickiness.
The bottle even says it's good for dry leather though we haven't tried that yet. I think I'll stick with our regular leather treatment and keep this for the good stuff!
The best part of all? We've used this numerous, numerous times and have hardly made a dent in the bottle. A little goes a LONG way--making it well, well, WELL worth the cost.

Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
We're still in lust with the product and have used it almost exclusively since we got it - and have STILL not used even half the bottle.
I can't rave enough and am seriously looking into trying other products by this company.

Thank you for viewing Better sex essentials silicone lubricant review page!
Does it feel greasy at all? I don't really care for silicone lubes because of that among other things, but I know a lot of people love silicone based lube.
Since you really liked this lube, I would suggest trying a hybrid lube that is water based with silicone in it. They are really creamy and slick and quite like the real deal. I have both Liquid Silk and Sliquid Silk, and I love both of them. I think you would like them.
It didn't seem greasy to me. Not like oil is greasy, anyhow. It feels a lot like the shine serum I use in my hair! :)
I'll have to give the hybrids a try since you can never have too much lube.
Very nice follow up - now I'm curious!
How does it stack up as a massage oil? I've heard that silicone can be a lovely surface for a deep massage but never tried it. I love breast play might ease the stretching of the skin ouchies...
I love silicone lubes for massage. They're not oily, just slick. I'll admit we use the ID Velvet we have more for massage and keep this for actual lube, though, since we like it better.
Six months of using it quite often and we still have about three ounces left, too.
I sure hope it's not out of stock forever cuz I'm going to need more of this...
I'll cry if I can't get it.
Sounds like a very versatile item.
looks great--thanks for the review!
