K-Y is probably the most commonly used lube on the market today. It is water based and used in most Obstetric/Gynecology clinics that I know of. It is of medium thickness and stays for a decent amount of time. This is best used for vaginal sex because it is not thick or durable enough for anal.

This is the first lube I ever used, and I have been using it up until my recent adventures in Eden. I feel that this is a great lube to start out with because it's easy to find and use.

The texture of this lube feels kind of thick and goopy to the touch, but it isn't a bad goopy feeling (if that makes any sense). It is a thicker, heavier water based lube. It does not run and make a mess anywhere, nor does it stain anything. It is scentless and tasteless, but can be used for oral if you so choose.

This is scentless, and has a very light taste to it. I can't really explain what it tastes like to me, but it is almost kind of sweet and doesn't stick around very long.

KY lasts for a good while but needs some re application if you have a hard time staying wet afterward. Since I had my son I don't get as wet as I used to and I need lube a lot of the time when having sex. I have had to re apply this quite often during sessions that lasted for an hour or longer. It does dry up fairly quick and can get a little sticky if too much is used. It does clean up easily, however, and does not leave your skin feeling oily or slick.

I have the 4 oz. bottle of this. It comes with a flip top that stays on well, but excess lube can get clogged up in the cap. You can fix this by taking a paper towel and wiping it off. The lube is dispensed by squeezing it out of the bottle, and it comes out fairly quickly so squeeze slowly.

Since K-Y is very well known, I would say that it is pretty obvious what it is. It is small enough to travel with and can be stored easily due to its shape and size.

Although K-Y has glycerin in it, it is hypoallergenic and doubles as a moisturizer for your skin during use. It is the #1 doctor recommended brand of lubrication. The ingredients are: Purified water, Glycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Gluconolactone, Methylparaben, and Sodium Hydroxide ; which can be found on the product page.
