JO H2O anal lubricant - anal lube by System JO - review by Angelica

This product can be used anally or vaginally if you aren't sensitive to the ingredients on the label. Although this lube is very slick, and I swear this is almost to the caliber of silicone lubes I have tried, it dissolves in water and should be used outside the tub, shower, etc. People of all genders could find use of this toy. It does contain parabens, so know your body and your reactions before trying this out. Because it is water based, this lube is condom safe, silicone toy safe, and safe with just about anything.

As this was an anal lube, I was expecting a much thicker consistency out of the bottle. This lube is runnier than my "all-purpose" water based lube. I poured a little bit on the tip of my butt plug and it just ran right down and off the toy. I found if you put it in your hand and then rub it on the toy, the lube stays in place a bit better than just pouring it on.

What it lacks in thickness it makes up for in slickness. The lube is incredibly slick and slippery, but it does not feel greasy. It feels similar to a silicone lube. The product dispenses easily from the bottle, though the poptop is hard to open/close if you need more after getting lubed up.

The aroma of the lube is not overpowering, but it does have a slight smell. I can't describe it. It's a bit sweet and a bit plasticy smelling (but that could just be the bottle it is in). The aroma is not off-putting to me at all. It doesn't taste like much of anything, but I would opt for a lube designed for oral instead of this one.

This product lasts a very long time, especially for a water based lube. Reapplication wasn't always needed which was incredibly new for me. It worked very well for anal play.

Clean up is just water and a cloth and it is gone. One time however, I was exhausted after a night of play and did not clean up as well as I could have. In the morning, I was still slippery and not at all sticky and gross-feeling like when other water based lubes sit out and dry up. It also did not leave my hands feeling gross and tacky after clean up, instead it left them feeling nicely moisturized.

I love the lasting power of this lube and the ease of clean up. I just wish it were thicker to avoid getting all over the place. A word of caution with the thinness of this lube is to put a towel down unless you feel like doing laundry every time you play. This lube leaves the biggest spots on my bed. Other water based lubes don't leave much of a mark, but this one does. At least it washes out though. Another potentially not great thing about this lube is the ingredient list. I am not sensitive to parabens, but it is a cause of concern to those who are.

The lube is contained in a plastic bottle that has a poptop dispenser, much like shampoos and such. The bottle is far from discreet with ANAL PERSONAL LUBRICANT in large letters on it. It has the ingredient list and instructions in multiple languages. The instructions are simple: apply a small amount and apply inside and outside a condom.

I would not recommend traveling with this bottle unless it is placed inside its own plastic baggie. The top could easily open and I am scared it will leak all over my toy box someday.
