Pink - lubricant discontinued by Empowered Products - review by Mistress Mandy

Finding a good lube has always been somewhat of a struggle for me. My husband and I have tried several different brands, normally water-based as this is the most versatile condom-safe/toy-safe type of lubricant. However it seemed like every type of lube we tried was just another disappointment. Then one of my friends told me about a type of silicone lube|Pink Silicone Lubricant called Pink and how wonderful it is, so after finding it on Edenfantasys I decided to give it a try.

After receiving the product, my first thought was that the bottle and pump dispenser were very well designed. The glass bottle is very classy, making it something that I wouldn't mind keeping out since its rather attractive. The fact that it has a pump dispenser is just wonderful! I've always hated the caps that you usually see on lube, they're so messy and you end up with lube all over the bottle and whatever you set it on. My husband and I have had several spills from caps breaking as well, resulting in a big mess in the drawer of his bedside table. With this pump dispenser, this really isn't a problem. Not only is it virtually mess proof but it's easier to apply this way.

As far as performance, I couldn't be happier with Pink! It doesn't take very much of it to make things nice and slippery, and what's better, we don't seem to have to reapply nearly as much with Pink as we have had to with other lubes, if at all. We even tried it out in the shower, just to test out how water resistant it really is. I found that the water mainly just rolled right off of whatever the Pink was applied to, which made it great for shower sex, but it also makes it a little difficult to wash off after use, whether in the shower or not. However this wasn't really a problem for me because what I liked best about Pink is that I didn't feel like I needed to wash off after using it since it doesn't get sticky like water-based lubes. Also, because Pink has Aloe Vera and moisturizers in it, my skin seems always feels so soft after using it, which is really nice since water-based lubes sometimes seems to irritate my skin.

Although Pink says it's a lubricant for women|Lubes and potions for women, I've found that it works just as well for my husband's needs as it does for my own. I've never been too fond of the taste of any type of lube, even when it's flavored, so I don't normally incorporate lubricant into oral sex. However, since Pink is a silicone lubricant, and obviously doesn't have glycerin in it, there is virtually no taste to Pink; instead it just has a sort of greasy texture to it, so it makes my mouth feel like I just ate some really greasy potato chips. Because it doesn't taste I don't mind using it for a little extra slipperiness when giving oral, and since it's silicone based it doesn't get sticky or need reapplied all the time like water-based lubes do if you try to use them with oral.

When it comes right down to it, I can't really find anything bad about Pink, except for the fact that it can't be used with silicone toys, which means I'll have to find another type of lube for that purpose. However this seems like a minor problem as I only own one silicone toy currently and Pink is so wonderful that I don't see how I could ever have sex without it again!
