Slippery when wet...
If you need a good water-based lubricant for a decent price, this product won't disappoint. It's easy to clean up and safe for many uses!Published: December 18, 2008
Pros:
Easy clean-up, versatile, flavorless, odorless, good consistency.
Cons:
Not enough slip, doesn't last long.
I have to say, this lubricant was all in all a great lubricant. Especially for a water-base that isn't too expensive and is easy to find. However, this isn't as long lasting as I'd like it to be. One of the things I initially liked about the product was the tasteless factor. It seems one of the biggest problems I have had with lubricants is the way they taste. They seem to either taste like medicine or like plastic. Although this had a slight scent and flavor, it was hardly even noticeable. Which is a plus! And the flavor that is there isn't unpleasant at all.
This is also a very toy friendly lubricant. I always like water-based lubes for their versatile uses and easy clean-up. This product is versatile and easy to use. It's easy to clean up and isn't too thick or thin. Some water-based products can get sticky and grainy and end up being a pain to clean up. This actually didn't let me down on any of those counts. It didn't goop or glob and it stayed smooth throughout the use. It didn't seem sticky at all and it is pretty easy to wipe off with a towel if you need a quick clean-up.
However, the lasting effect definitely left something to be desired. It seems that it works well for awhile, but eventually gets absorbed in the skin. I wouldn't say that it should be thicker, but a little more slip would be nice and complete the lasting effect the product lacks. It's one of my favorite lubes, but it's not as good as one of my other top picks. The only thing I wouldn't recommend this lubricant for is possibly anal use and marathon sex. It's definitely good for a quick use, dryness and to keep on hand for a little extra moisture help.

Follow-up commentary
17 months after original review
This is one of my lube staples. It's something that works well for almost anything, so it's useful to have around. I do tend to reach for others, but I know wet will be less likely to irritate, has a decent consistency, is compatible with my toys and isn't super pricey. These things keep it in my drawer for sure and it's a good product that is easy to find. Certainly worth trying and probably worth keeping a supply of.

I have been using ID pleasure for years. I tried WET and it seemed to be a bit more watered down to me. Not a bad thing just not my thing.
Anyonee lse have this going for you too? -
I used to hate Wet products, they came off as cheap.
Until I tried their synergy line. I fell in love with both the original, and the tingle lubricant.
The Synergy is water and silicone mixed, which produces a gel. I hate water down lubricants.
As long as you don't use it with silicone toys, its fine. -
I used to feel the same way about wet

Why not the same looking containers for this product?
-
Why is the 3.5, the 4.8, and the 10 oz bottles of this lubricant sold in cool looking bottles, while the 0.8 amount and the 1.5 sold in smaller, weirder shapes? Why not miniatures of the cooler versions? Why a toothpaste looking bottle and a hand sanitizer looking bottle? Comments? Agreements?

Agreements?I'd assume that's just the bottles that the manufacturers felt were best for their item. Certain sizes will do better certain ways because of how they have to flex to squeeze the lube out.
Personally I don't care either way for stuff like this, none of the bottles are something I would want to display and the ease of use on all of them seems about the same, so it's not going to make a difference to me between the options. -

Agreements?At the size of the bottles for those smaller ones, the "neat" bottle wouldn't work. The little "handle hold" on the side of the bottle would actually be the entire length of the bottle. There just isn't enough product to warrant making the bigger bottle. However, if you contact Wet Lubricants, they always take suggestions well and could explain it further.
