Lube lube lube. I'm a big fan of lube. I also hate reviewing it.

That certainly gets you excited to read this, doesn't it?

I promise, it won't be that bad.

And neither is this lube. Not bad. But not awesome, either. Good Clean Love makes this lubricant of the same name, and they make it in three different variations - Almost Naked (unflavored), Cinnamon Vanilla and Lavender Rose. I purchased the Cinnamon Vanilla from EdenFantasys at a discounted price.

So...you get four ounces of this water based lube in a flip-top container. I'm kinda torn on the flip-top. Looking at it, I like it. I like the whole design of this product. But when I'm getting all lube-y, I kinda hate it. It is not the easiest to open when my hands are covered in lube. It's not extremely difficult, just a bit of a hassle. So...what's so "good" and "clean" about this stuff? The ingredients are all natural and organic, it's 100% vegan and cruelty free. That's all pretty friggin' awesome. The lube is also free of parabens and glycerin, and it can be used with latex condoms and throughout pregnancy. It has none of those icky ingredients you should avoid in a lube. Yay! Here's what's in it -

Deionized Water, Agar, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Benzoic Acid, Natural Extratives and Flavors, Potassium Sorbate, Xanthan Gum

Hooray for short ingredients lists. The only thing that gives me pause is the Xantham Gum, as it's actually sugar. And vagina + sugar equals yeast infection. Eh...I have had sex after using this lube on the boyfriend's manly bits, and no trouble so far. I'm just a little paranoid about what goes into my vagina.

The consistency of this stuff is...a little odd. When it first comes out of the bottle, it looks like it's really thick...like a gel, almost. It isn't at all runny...so you probably won't make a huge mess with it...but it isn't super thick, either. It's got about the same consistency of aloe vera. Once you start rubbing it around in your hand you can tell that it is no match for, say, Maximus. And it isn't super slick. It's slick enough to make a hand job a little easier and more enjoyable, but it also doesn't last forever, so you may find yourself needing to reapply. Oh, and once you have quite a bit of it all over you for a while, it starts to get kinda...foamy. The boyfriend figured that out when he spent a half hour trying to wrestle his junk into a cock ring.

So...because of the consistency, I would say the best job for this lube would be vaginal intercourse...which is a bummer because of the Xantham Gum, which makes me nervous, and the fact that I really bought it for hand jobs. I really do think that mixed with a person's natural lubrication, this stuff would probably do a much better job. I would avoid it for anal...it's just not thick enough for my liking to handle that job.

So yeah...I bought this stuff for hand jobs. See...I am not a big fan of hand jobs. I would much rather suck your cock than try to jack you off. My reasoning? If I'm giving a hand job, I want to use lube...otherwise I am worrying the whole time about the agony I may be putting your dick through (not yours, per say...I realize that you're not all dudes...you're just gonna have to deal with it). The downside of using lube for a hand job is that a hand job almost always turns into a hand job/blow job hybrid. And lube tastes gross. So I thought "Yay! Lube that is supposed to taste not gross and has no icky ingredients! Let's do this!" So we did. And it wasn't gross. This stuff doesn't really have an icky lube taste...but it doesn't really taste very much like cinnamon or vanilla, either. Also, the fact that I was slobbering all over helped reactivate the lube...so that's a plus.

Another thing I liked about this lube is that it smells nice. When you first open the bottle, you are greeted by the faint scent of cinnamon and vanilla. In use, the smell isn't noticeable at all, but it is there at first.
