ID glide - lubricant discontinued by I-D Lubricants - review by J's Alley

ID Glide has never been my favorite lubricant, or even the lubricant of my choice if I get one. However, as far as water based lubricants go, for the price this isn't bad. It's not excellent by any means, but it isn't bad.

I do have to say that it does dry up on you, so if you are looking for a long lasting lubricant, this may not be the one for you. You can reactivate it with, obviously, more lube (just a drop or two is all that you really need... unless you are playing anally), a little water, or even saliva will get you slick again. If you are just going for a quick round in the bedroom, this will definitely get the job done no problem.

Toys: Since ID is a water based lubricant it can be used on any toy you have in your treasure chest, therefore if you don't normally use water based lubricants, this may be the one for you, just to have on hand in that moment of passion.

My biggest complaint is that there is glycerin in this brand. I use only water based lubricants, and so all of mine are glycerin free. Why is this an issue? If you don't clean up, you can get irritated. And, really, who wants to be irritated all day or all night.

There are many lesser quality brands out there, and ID is sold everywhere for a decent price. As I said before, this is an average lubricant. I also don't mind the taste of it, I don't prefer the taste, but it isn't so awful that you will avoid any oral contact after it has been applied. You're not left all greasy and dripping like some lubricants do either. Plus, since it is water based, the clean up is super easy. It comes right off without a whole lot of scrubbing.

Would I buy this for me? Probably not unless I had to, but I would recommend it to friends who are just beginning to get into using lubricants, water based lubes, and toys for sure.

I really wish there was another option, because I never really liked ID Glide. I think it is a step above KY for sure, but I would never set out to buy it. So it isn't so much that I still like ID, but more of I will still use it if it is what I have and I need it. It is still a mediocre and basic lube, which barely makes an impression on me when I use it. It is just there, I might actually use spit before choosing to spend more money on ID Glide Lubricant.
