Toko aqua - lubricant discontinued by Shunga Erotic Art - review by This Is For The Birds

Use: The Toko Aqua lube is used for giving you that extra wetness when needed. Whether you use this lube during solo or partner play with some toys, or if its just that extra you need when masturbating, you're playing freely with your partner. The nice thing about this is that if it starts to get dry just add some water and your lube is now reactivated and ready to go, almost like you just applied some more. This works great for in the shower since the water just makes it more slippery for you.

Ingredients: This lube contains the following ingredients, so please make sure you or your partner are not allergic or sensitive to any before use.

Aqua
Glycerin
Propylene Glycol
Polyquaternium 7
MethylParaben
PropylParaben

Texture/Consistency/Thickness: The texture of this Toko Aqua lube is very silky and smooth. It is thin, but is thicker than other water based lubes we have. We were able to put this lube on without it running all over my hand and all down his body. The feel of this lube reminded us of baby oil, it was super nice.

Taste/Aroma: This lube has a slight aroma and taste to it. The smell is very faint and not something that bothered my partner and I. The taste was almost like a bubble taste, which as you can imagine isn't very pleasant. Since this lube is not made for oral use I would suggest cleaning it off if you or your partner want to perform oral, unless you like the taste of bubbles.

Performance: Overall, my husband and I liked the job that this lube did. While we have many favorites, this now ranks in the top 3. It was easy to use and was very smooth, as well as being easy to clean. Since it is water based it can be used with a variety of toys, which is nice.

Packaging: The Toko Aqua lube comes in a plastic 5.5oz bottle with flip top lid. We found this bottle slightly hard to close, so when done using it press down hard on the lid to make sure it's closed. You wouldn't want this aqua gold leaking all over the place. The bottle is somewhat indiscreet seeing as how it has the word "TOKO" in big letters on the front and underneath that it reads "lubricant". You then have a picture of a couple being loved that you can see through the bottle.

Cleaning: Even though this lube is water based, we did have to clean it off with some soap and water in the shower. Since the water acts as an activating agent, wiping it off with a damp cloth just made it more slippery. Since we both take showers or a shower afterwards this really didn't come to pose a problem for us. If you're performing a quickie and need something that is an easy cleanup, you might want to skip this lube as it might cost you some valuable time to clean up.
