I have found that this product is VERY useful when it comes to ANAL play/sex. This product is water based and super slick! It tastes nasty to me (sweet like) and doesn't have much of a smell. I highly recommend showering after use because it made me feel sticky after I used it. REMEMBER a little goes a long way! Don't use too much if you are planning to use it because you will get a big mess and it gets slippery but its fun!
Astroglide continues to be one of the best selling personal lubricants on the market. It was one of the earliest water based lubricants, designed specifically for sex play and increasing sensitivity. Many couples report that it’s slick formula; lasts for a long time, requires less liquid per application, has a sweet, pleasant taste and enhances the comfort and ease of sexual activity. Astroglide liquid lubricant can also be used with male condoms, female condoms and sex toys.

Astroglide has a super-thin (water-like) consistency – some people prefer this while others may desire a thicker product. Also, it seems as if people either really like or dislike Astroglide’s sweet taste (as an alternative, try Astroglide's Sensual Strawberry flavored lubricant).

The original Astroglide contains both glycerin and parabens, so people prone to yeast infections, chemical sensitivities, or allergic reactions may not want to use this personal lubricant. Astroglide now offers a glycerin and paraben-free formula option designed to reduce the burning and irritation that may occur with the use of traditional personal lubricants that contain glycerin and parabens. This formula may also be good for menopausal women who may be more susceptible to chemicals due to the thinning of vaginal tissue caused by a decrease in hormone production.

Astroglide has also introduced it’s natural formula – a botanical personal lubricant combining all-natural plant extracts while being naturally-free from glycerin, alcohol, fragrance, flavorings and hormones. This formula is also water-based and water-soluble and latex-safe. It contains Xylitol (natural, sugar-free humectant - derived from corn-cob - that helps retain and absorb moisture), Aloe Vera (soothes and softens skin), Vitamins C & E (antioxidant benefits) and Chamomile Flower Extracts (soothing and anti-bacterial properties).
