Silky, Silicone, and Practically Perfect
The feel of the lubricant was enough for me to be tempted to switch to silicone lubricant. This silky feel is something that I haven't felt in a water based lubricant.Published: February 7, 2011
Pros:
silky feel, long lasting, light fragrance, non-irritating,
Cons:
slightly oily, needs to be washed off
Silicone based lubricants are perfect for vigorous sex sessions, and hold up in watery situations. Just be careful which toys you use with this lubricant as silicone lubricant will melt silicone toys.
Hand Jobs: The oily feel of this lubricant is amazing during hand jobs. I personally find hand jobs a bit boring, but when your hand just slides up and down nicely without any trouble, it makes it a little bit easier to give a hand job.
Blow Job: This lubricant is unflavored, and it is not meant to be used for blow jobs, but it does have a slight taste to it and while the taste isn't exactly tasty, it isn't awful. I do think that it wouldn't be too awful to give a blow job with this lubricant on it, I wouldn't advise it.
Female Hand Jobs (Fingering): Astroglide X feels amazing for being fingered. It keeps fingers lubricated so you don't have the rough insertion feeling. I really enjoyed using this for fingering.
Female Blow Job: It has a slight taste to it, and my boyfriend said it tasted funky with my vaginal fluids, but this isn't meant to be a flavored lubricant.
Vaginal Sex: I liked how wonderful this kept me lubricated, but I HATED having to really shower off afterwards, but I did like that I was still lubricated in the bath tub and could finish myself off with a dildo after sex.
Anal Sex: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this lubricant for anal sex. Astroglide X is by far the best lubricant I've tried for anal sex. Keep in mind I only have a tiny package of astroglide x, and honestly I didn't need much of it for anal sex. It lubricates so very well. The oily after feel is great in this situation. It gives you the perfect amount of lubrication to keep you from having a sore ass afterwards.
Toy Sex: This lubricant leaves you with an oily feel, so someone who masturbates without time for a shower afterwards should steer clear of this lubricant as you will need to wash off. Also, remember, Silicone lubricant CAN NOT be used with silicone toys. It will melt, and that will suck. But other than that, this lubricant is long lasting and will keep you lubricated even if you're using an extremely textured toy anally.

Experience
Overall I do plan on buying a full sized bottle of this lubricant. It isn't something I'll keep with my toys, but I will have to bust it out for the occasional anal sex session. It is the best I've tried so far for anal sex.
This lubricant is unflavored, clear and safe to use with condoms and all sex toys except for silicone ones. The ingredients in this lubricant are: Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane.
Edenfantasys sells Astroglide X in 2.5 ounce bottles. You only need the slightest amount, a bottle of 2.5 ounce astroglide x would last around the same as a 4 ounce bottle of a comparable water based lubricant.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
I have a bottle of this lubricant in my lubricant drawer at all times. I love it! The only thing I dislike is that I can't use it with every single toy that I own. But it more than makes up for it with the long lasting lubrication it provides. The oily feeling no longer bothers me, I don't even notice it anymore.
