My first impressions of ID Glide Lubricant were good - the packaging was plain, but functional. It also came in a bottle with a flip lid, which is a definite plus point, as it can be done up quickly and then discarded in the heat of the moment without worrying about the potential messy aftermath. There's nothing worse than leaky lubricant!

The ID Glide Lubricant seemed to apply OK, although not quite as silky smooth as some I've used in the past. It seemed thicker too, which didn't feel particularly pleasant on the skin. However, it still did the job and is perfectly adequate for use when masturbating alone, using a toy, or for use with a partner. I didn't feel as though it lasted as long as some lubricants, which meant I had to reapply it a couple of times whereas most lubricants would have needed just the one application. Frequent applications meant it also went lumpy after time, which also doesn't feel very nice down below! It was also quite sticky, probably due to the fact it's thicker than your average lubricant.

However, ID Glide had no offensive smell or taste and is a water-based lubricant, so it's toy and condom friendly. So although the performance wasn't fantastic, the design of the bottle gains it extra points.

Overall, I'm not inclined to recommend this for regular use given the fact it doesn't last very long and would potentially be very irritating for a couple to have to keep reapplying it. It may well be OK for quickies though due to the functionality of the bottle. The ID Glide lube is good value for money and comes in a variety of sizes, so if you don't think you'll be using a great deal of it, then by all means, give it a try. But there are definitely better lubricants on the market.
