Swiss navy silicone lubricant - lubricant discontinued by MDScience Lab LLC - review by Lardnerthebest

The chemists for the Swiss Navy have really outdone themselves this time! This product is a great, all-around lube that can be used in many different situations. This lube is silicone-based and condom safe. This is not an older gel-type lube, but rather a smooth, viscous lube that provides a thin layer to reduce friction for all of your intimate pleasures. This product is odor free and clear in color. The product is a little more expensive than water-based lubes.

The fact that the lube is a silicone formula (rather than water-based) makes a big difference. If anyone is looking for a silicone lube to try out for the first time, I would highly recommend this one. The biggest pro for using silicone lube would be how long it lasts. When using this lube, you really only need one or two pumps from the bottle, and that is it for the whole session. Generally speaking, you only need to apply once at the beginning, and you should be good to go.

Now that I have mentioned it is made to last, did I mention it is made to last in water? That's right! Silicone lube is great for water play. Showers, baths, maybe even in the lake on vacation...the possibilities are endless. The silicone lube does not dissolve in water which allows it to stand up for a whole session with water play. The problem with this is that it is more time consuming to clean up (maybe an extra minute or two).

The leak-proof bottle has a unique cap that allows for easy and clean dispensing of the product through a pump. This keeps the bottle in an upright position when in use. The leak-proof part is how the cap rotates into a locking position. This locking position does not allow the pump to be pressed, keeping the lube inside and not on your hands. To be honest, the leak-proof bottle has never leaked on me, although I have not had a chance to bring this bottle on an overnight trip where it would be packed up and thrown around. Still, this bottle seems more rigid than other competitors.

Utilizing a silicone lube is safer than some water-based lubes because it does not contain glycerin, parabens, or sugars that may increase yeast infections (my girlfriend likes this). The manufacturers of the lube M.D. Science labs have also given the lube the notation of being hypo-allergenic.

Caution: This product is silicone-based and should not be used with silicone-based toys. The interaction will start to degrade the silicone of the toy.

Words of Wisdom:

When the situation is getting hot and heavy, no one takes the time to clean up a little mess on the side of the bottle. The problem is that this lube is so smooth and slippery that if you do not clean the bottle when you are finished, you will have a hard time opening it next time you are trying to get busy. Give it a quick wipe down with a paper towel and some water. I also suggest that if you choose to use this in the shower, you try sitting/kneeling on the tub. If you use it while standing up, and the lube gets on the floor, you may slip. Use this to your advantage, and try a new position with your partner.

I am not trying to sell this product. I am just so excited to finally have a product that can do all these things for me and my partner.

Summary:
Pro's - Silicone-based, odorless, colorless, condom-safe, works well with water, does not stain sheets, use less product, hypo-allergenic

Con's - Not safe with silicone toys, takes more time to clean up, a little more expensive

This is still my go to lube. The silicone lube makes a big difference because you only have to apply a small amount, and you only have to do it one time. The one time application is great because you do not have to stop in the middle of sex when things are getting hot and steamy to reapply.
