Toyfluid - water based lube by Fun Factory - review by Lucy

Toyfluid lubricant got off to a good start, and just got better as I continued testing. First impressions - the bottle is cool; a sleek-looking, neat metal canister with pump action. No getting in a mess because you've squeezed the tube too hard!

The testing process was as fun, as it should be. It's described as toy fluid but obviously there's no reason you can't use this lube on its own. It's condom friendly too, a definite point in its favor. The last thing you need to be worrying about during sex is whether the condom has split!

The main things I look out for with lubricants are the smell, texture, and taste. I know this lube isn't intended for ingestion or to be used during oral sex, but as you know sometimes in the heat of the moment these things can happen. I'm happy to report that it doesn't taste of anything, and even more importantly, doesn't smell of anything. There's nothing worse than having some sexual fun and there being unpleasant smells wafting around.

The texture is great; this lubricant definitely does the job. With some anal lubricants, if you keep applying more, after a while you end up with horrible crumbly bits of dried up fluid; this isn't conducive to hot sex or masturbation. There was none of this - just a silky smooth application. You don't need much of this stuff anyway, it seems to last ages, and feels as close to natural lubricants as you're ever going to get. It's not sticky either and eventually disappears without any residue or staining.

Also, given you don't need to use much (unless it's a marathon session!) it's a great value. At just $7.99, it won't break the bank.

Well-deserved top marks for this one.
