Sliquid Natural 4.2oz - lubricant discontinued by Sliquid, LLC - review by aliceinthehole

A body-safe, thicker lubricant, friendly with all kinds of toys and all kinds of play, Sliquid presents its first Organic Gel Lubricant. Beautifully packaged and slick as ever, its natural ingredients are not only kind to you, but good for you.
No parabens and no glycerin mean this is a step above the rest. Like all Sliquid products, the Gel form is Vegan friendly, and carries only the ingredients you need.

For those of you set on water-based lubes, or venturing into activities that require sturdier lubrication, there's Sliquid gel.

It's not good for use underwater, as it will simply wash away, being waterbased. For underwater play you'll want a silicone gel.

Though it's called a 'gel,' it doesn't pour as thick as what you may be thinking. It's no hair gel, but it's no thin oil either. Sliquid Gel pours the about the same as regular lubes, though it does hold up on its own a bit more. It's a bit more 'firm,' you could say.

Gliding on, the lube is silky sexy smooth. It glides effortlessly, and mimics natural lubrication. The plant cellulose is felt in its slight tackiness... near-sliminess, even. It absorbs rather quickly into the skin if left alone in small amounts for even a moment or two. Still, as it's waterbased, a dab of saliva or water will get it going again.

No taste or smell to be had here! Despite the plant extracts, this is pleasantly unscented and has no taste to speak of. This makes Sliquid Gel a nice neutral lube; once again, quite friendly!

The waterbased nature of this means that pumping its volume up - making it thicker - is almost a must, if you want it to last. This gel is thicker than Sliquids usual waterbased lubes, and as such it doesn't absorb into the skin as quickly as its thinner counterparts. Still, it will absorb within a moment or two, especially when in a thin layer. Therefore, you'll need to reapply during sex, especially anal, and/or reactivate the lube with saliva or water.

It does absorb nicely, however, so you'll never need to wash this off. No greasy or sticky residue is left over here.

The feel of Sliquid Gel on your nether-regions so nearly mimics your own lubrication, you'll think you're having your first romp as a teenager again. The natural ingredients aid and abet that lovely feat.

The perfect little 4.2 oz, 125 ml bottle I purchased is marvelous. The push-button cap holds the lube at bay until you need its powers of seduction, at which point a one-handed motion dispenses as much as you need with ease. A slight squeeze and/or a slight inversion of the bottle and you're ready to go. The cap doesn't allow for leaks, which is definitely a plus. However, this thicker gel does tend to crust-up around the cap's spout, but only slightly. It's nothing that can be seen until the cap is opened. No boogers on your lube bottle - not to worry.

One drawback is the metallic safety seal which is nearly impossible to break with simply a finger or teeth, which is most likely all you'll have handy in the heat of the moment. Break it before your first play session and you'll leave that awkwardness in the trash.

The label is pretty, artistically done, and discreet enough that no one will notice it even if it sits on your shelf. The dainty size and the leakless bottle render Sliquid Gel pleasantly travel-friendly.

The bottle is also recyclable if your city accepts '1' category plastics.

Sliquid is famous for their all-natural ingredients. Here we have:

Purified Water, Plant Cellulose (from Cotton), Organic Aloe Barbadensis, Natural Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Cyamopsis (Guar Conditioners), Organic Extracts of Hibiscus, Flax, Green Tea & Sunflower Seed, Citric Acid (Citrus Fruits)

See, aren't those friendly ingredients? If you're not reading the Latin name, they're all completely easy to pronounce, and none of the ingredient names include numbers! Always a plus. When you're putting something in your most absorbent bits, it's gotta be safe.

I'm pretty happy to have an all natural lube that won't mess with my vagina's own balance and cause me health problems. The sheer small number of ingredients in this lube were a lure for me. So many lubes throw in all forms of sugar, or oils, which provide a breeding ground for bacteria in the environment of your dark, damp nether-regions. Most lubes contain harsh ingredients. Why place funky chemicals in your treasure box? Funky chemicals are known for wreaking havoc. I prefer to play on the safe side.

This is also an okay lube for transitioning from vaginal to anal sex. It's thick enough that I don't have to reach for the anal-only lube, and gentle enough that I can use it for vaginal intercourse. I just wish it would last a bit longer. Still, for a waterbased lube, this is about as good as I've seen so far.
