If you are going to go with a water based lubricant, I highly recommend ID Glide.

I have used a lot of water-based lubes (Astroglide, KY, and of course the cheap ones from the pharmacies ) And all of them become sticky, and seem to also all have an odor of some kind. ID Glide does not become sticky, doesn't have a smell and goes on nicely. ID Glide is probably the closest thing you can find to a silicone gel in water-based lubes.

Very good for toy play, stroking, as well as anal. Although when stroking you might need more depending on how vigorous, or how long your session is. Me and my mate use this lube instead of the recommended silicone, or oil-type products. The thing I like about this lube when my mate and I play is that you don't end up having that sticky, or wet feeling that most either water-based, or silicone lubes leave you with.

Clean up of this lube is very exceptional!!! I cannot stress enough how this lube is not sticky or wet afterward, it seems like after you are done, it dries, or acts as a moisturizer on your skin.

"What are your sensory experiences of it - look, feel, taste, smell, sound?"

Well... since they asked, I will oblige them. Lube is clear (I love clear lubes!!) when accidentally spilled on black sheets, it doesn't leave a stain, which is an absolute plus. The feel to this lube is nice and smooth, almost like a silky feeling, or like that silicone lube feeling. TASTE? o.0 Well.. it tastes kind of sugary? ID Glide does have an odor, but it is very, very, very minimal and you have to practically stick your nose right in it. And for the last, sound? I would be kinda concerned if a lube made noise, but then it makes me pose the question of, if a lube could make sounds, what would it sound like?

Just kidding, however like I said before, I highly recommend this product!
