Wet lubricant sample kit - lubricant discontinued by Wet Lubricants - review by Jul!a

This kit is a fantastic way to get to test out three of Wet's newest lubricants without having to commit to the whole bottle. Each packet will get you at least two uses, which should be enough to know whether or not you want more. All of the pillow packs come inside of a little bag from Wet that's very reminiscent of a goody bag. The particular kit that I received only came with three different lubes, Wet Synergy Cool, Wet Together, and Wet Together Ultimate. These are also the three shown in the product picture.

First up, the Wet Synergy + Cool Tingle: For us, this was a 5 star lube. It lasted a long time, didn't leave us feeling gross, and provided a pleasant cooling sensation

This one is the largest of the individual packets, containing .2 fluid ounces of cool, tingly lube. It tears open easily enough, although it's hard to get the lube to come out and not end up all over the packet in some manner. It's got a gel-like consistency just out of the packet and definitely stays where you put it. It's also a hybrid lube, meaning that it contains both a water and a silicone base. This makes it last longer, like a silicone lube, but clean up a little easier, like a water based lube. You still get the dry oil feeling that accompanies most silicone based lubes, so clean up will probably be necessary after play. I've easily been able to clean ours up with wipes, although you can use a damp washcloth with some soap if you want.

During sex it works wonderfully as a lubricant, lasting the whole time we were going at it and then some. The cooling sensations are easily felt, but aren't overwhelming. It feels very much like somebody got my skin wet and then pointed a fan at it, only inside of my vagina. My husband enjoyed the feeling as well.

The ingredients listed are glycerine, deionized water, dimethiconol, sodium polyacrylate, dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, trdeceth-6, PEG/PPG-18/18 dimethicone, pentylene glycol, peppermint.

The Wet Together: For us, this was closer to a 2 star lube. The Hers worked *too* well, and completely overpowered the His

This set, like most other "his and hers" lubes, is supposed to mix a warming and cooling sensation together to create an awesome "oh my gawd is that hot or cold I can't tell but it feels awesome" kind of feeling. Unfortunately, the cooling of Hers quickly overtook the warming of His and stuck around long after I wanted it to. His on its own did provide a pleasant warming sensation however. They both wash off fairly easily and come in .18 fl ounce packets.

The packets were easy to open, but no good at containing any you might have leftover. Both His and Hers have a pretty liquidy consistency. They don't feel bad between the fingers at all, and spread around easily. His is water based and can also be used with your favorite silicone toys if you so choose. It features the ingredients glycerin and tocopheryl (Vitamin E) acetate. Hers is silicone based and features an ingredient list of dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, dimethiconol, phenyl trimethicone, tocopheryl acetate, and peppermint. Given the two ingredient lists, I'm not entirely sure what makes His warming, when the same ingredients are in Hers but don't warm.

The Wet Together Ultimate: For us, this could be a 3 or 4 star lube. It worked well as a lube, but was completely negligible otherwise.

Like the Wet Together, this pair (I believe) is meant to mix a warming and cooling sensation together during sex. I had high hopes, but unfortunately neither of us were really able to feel much of anything with either of the lubes, even together. These also washed off fairly easily after use and come in .18 fl ounce packets.

The packets were easy to open, but again no good at containing leftovers since they both have a relatively liquidy consistency. Between the fingers they have a nice feel and spread very easily. To me, they both smell a bit like mint and go on with a cooling sensation, but the packaging seems to indicate that Hers should provide a warming sensation. If applied to the skin and then blown on later, they each almost feel like they're warming, so it was hard for me to get a read on them.

The ingredient list on each one was startlingly similar, although Hers had one extra ingredient. On the back you'll find the list to contain glycerin, propylene glycol, benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, hydroxyehtylcellulose, tocopherol, aloe barbadensis, camelia sinensis leaf extract, niacinamide (only in Hers), mentha piperita oil, water, xanthan gum, eupatorium rebaudianum bertoni leaf extract, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexyglycerin.

The only one out of the three different lubes that were offered here that my husband and I really liked was the Synergy cooling. The idea behind the couples ones were neat, but one worked too well and the other didn't seem to work at all. I did like the feeling of the His in Wet Together enough that I may buy the set just for that one. But at least we got the satisfaction of knowing we got to try them out, without the sadness that comes with wondering what to do with the rest of a bottle of lube that we won't ever use again.
