Lube that's not so lubricating.

This lube may work for some people, and may be good with toys, but it just didn't work for me. It wasn't as slick as I needed it to be, and it needed constant reapplication.

Use

I originally purchased this lube as a substitute for my Astroglide X (which is still my favorite). I wanted to try out something that was water-based and something that could also be good for anal. Overall, I was not impressed. I could see this being a good lube to use with toys since it's water-based, possibly for masturbation, or if you just don't like the clean-up required for silicone or oil-based lubes. Maybe I just haven't found the right use for it yet, but so far it's just not working for me.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

The consistency of this lube is slightly thicker than what I'm used to, which is fine and makes sense for a lube advertised as being good for anal. The pop-top packaging makes it easy to pour, and I didn't really have a problem with it making a mess. It's advertised as having a "silicone feel", which is not a claim that I think it lives up to. It didn't have the same slick/greasy feeling that I like and need from a good lube.
    • Thick

Taste / Aroma

This lube didn't really have any noticeable smell, so it may be good for someone who is sensitive to scents. I can't really say much about the taste since I generally don't like to use unflavored lubes for oral.

Performance

I felt very let down by this lube. I was excited to try a water-based lube with a "silicone feel", since I love the feel of silicone lubes, but not so much the clean-up. I noticed when I applied it to my partner that it didn't have quite the same slickness that I'm used to in a lube, and it actually seemed like it was sinking into the skin. Honestly, it didn't do much for me in the way of lubrication. I was constantly asking my partner to re-apply it, which is never something I needed to do with any of my silicone-based lubes. Clean-up was easy, but what good is that if it isn't lubricating? Definitely a disappointment.
    • Dries up too fast
    • Reapply often

Packaging

The packaging is simple, but effective. It's a simple squeeze bottle with a pop-top that can be opened with one hand if needed. I didn't notice any leakage problems.
    • Can be opened with one hand
    • Does not leak
    • Easy to use / dispense
Follow-up commentary
I actually haven't touched this lube since my last review. I finally became so frustrated with it, that I just switched back to the silicone lube I was using before. Maybe I'll give it another go in the future, but for right now it's just gathering dust on the shelf.
