Astroglide - lubricant by BioFilm - review by ariellah

We found this to be a pretty standard lube, which was a welcome relief from the cooling stuff we bought last time. It works well for sex as well as masturbation, both manual and toy-assisted. I've seen my guy sneak it off to the bathroom in the mornings. He's usually pretty picky about lubricant consistency, but I haven't heard any grumbling about this one. I've used it for myself with a vibrator, and I've found it to be pretty long lasting. I don't have any consistency complaints myself either, and it washes off my toys without too much hassle.

My guy can get a little overzealous applying the stuff, which has taught us two things: a little bit goes a long way (though if you change positions a lot, or are near a fan/air conditioner, expect to reapply), and it doesn't stain the sheets. The smell is very faint, and somewhat pleasant. I don't notice a lot in the way of taste; if anything, it's slightly sweet. I wouldn't say it tastes like anything specific, all I've noticed is a hint of sweetness.

The one thing that does bother me about this lubricant is the cap. It's easy to open quickly, that's a plus, but it seems needlessly loud. I honestly haven't figured out if the opening speed outweighs the noise yet, but if you live with other people or are trying to be discreet, the pop-cap on this one may not be your best option. Also, extra lubricant tends to well around the cap, so you'll need to keep an eye on that to avoid it eventually dripping all down the side of the bottle. For the price, however, you get a good amount of lubricant. In the end, this is a good option if you want a cheap lubricant that just gets the job done.
