Gun Oil is a great water based lubricant for toys, masturbation, anal, and vaginal use. If you ever purchased a Fleshlight, Fleshlight includes a 2 oz bottle of this lubricant with some of their packages and it works extremely well with that company's products. It is safe to use with condoms and all toys. I have used it with jelly, plastic, silicone, rubber, and Superskin (Fleshlight) products with no ill effects on any of them.

The only word I can use to describe it is: Slick. It is not sticky, greasy, or having any other negative feeling to it. Not a lot is required for any application. A lot of people recommend a lot of lube when doing anything anal. With Gun Oil, I usually only place a small amount on the tip of whatever toy I'm using and it does the job fine. With the small amount required, a bottle will last you through many uses.

If you use toys or masturbate in the shower, be aware that since it is water based, it does rinse off fairly easily.

It is extremely easy to clean up afterward. A simple rinse of water will remove it from toys as well as yourself, or you can just wipe yourself off easily enough with a tissue.

If you leave some out or on the bottle top, it will dry out eventually and leave the rest of its ingredients in a slightly tacky paste. I have only noticed this happen when some was left on the bottle top and I didn't wipe it off. It has never dried out during usage. During normal masturbation, I have never had it dry out to where I had to reapply. When using anal toys, I have had to reapply a few times with some longer sessions but I think that's more that the lube is being rubbed off, not drying.

It is clear with no smell and does not stain fabrics if things get a little messy.

Empowered Products advertises that Aloe Vera is included as a moisturizer, and Ginseng and Guarana for extra energy and sexual stimulation. I haven't noticed any of those effects compared to any other lubricant. Interestingly, it has Aspartame as an ingredient (which is used as a sweetener) but the lubricant has no taste.

If you have any allergies, be sure to check the ingredients for your own safety. It is advertised as hypoallergenic but check it against your own medical needs.

The 16 oz and 32 oz bottles come with a hand pump on top just like some liquid hand soaps, while the smaller 8 oz, 4 oz, and 2 oz bottles are squeeze bottles.

Surprisingly, the Gun Oil brand is marketed as being started by a Marine Platoon Commander who got the idea during Operation Desert Storm where his Marines were using CLP (Clean, Lubricate, Protect), a silicone-based solution used to keep their weapons operational, for masturbating. I've used CLP to clean a M-1 Garand rifle before and I would never use that anywhere near my skin if I could help it. Luckily, his Gun Oil lubricant is a great product for masturbation and I'm sure plenty of Marines are happy for that Platoon Commander's solution.
