Anal lube original - water-based anal lube by Cal Exotics - review by Andycaboose

This lube works great for just about any personal lubrication job you need it to do. It is safe for both vaginal and anal play, making it deliciously easy to get big things into small packages, and while safe for oral as well, it has a bit of an odd taste that can be a bit strong. Not a horrible taste, but something to be cautious of. Don't go smearing it all over yourself, then get upset that your partner won't put his or her mouth on you, basically. Despite that, however, the lube lasts a very long time, and can be reinvigorated with a tiny bit of saliva. I've had this one bottle for nearly a year now, and it still hasn't even reached the halfway point.

The Anal lube is thick, and kind of gloops out of the pop-open cap slowly. Slowness is a good thing, though, because you won't need much to get things going. It's mostly a smooth liquid, but occasionally a small amount will dry near the opening in the spout, leaving little globs that feel like the glue on the back of gift-cards. These will do nothing to diminish your night of pleasure, and if you leave them on the table next to you, they're a silly little thing to play with after you both lay back panting.

The taste of the "unflavored" is decidedly flavored. As mentioned before, the flavor is not "bad" so much as "odd." I would try to stay away from it for oral. It has a faint smell, but nothing that will be of any significant trouble, just a slight plasticy smell.

This lube works well. We've used it in the shower and had no problems with it disappearing, but it comes right off if you shower and try to get rid of it. It stays on your hands and shaft for a while in dry air, though, unless you wash it off, and it can make wherever it touches sticky until cleaned. Once cleaned up, it's like it was never there, and it isn't difficult to clean.

The bottle of lube came shrink-wrapped at the top to keep it sealed shut. Once the seal was removed, the bottle has a pop-open top that you have to push on one side to swing the opening up out of the bottle itself. The bottle doesn't leak, and keeps what little smell the product has inside the container.

The Anal Lube product is water-based, facilitating cleanup, and seems to be free of any latex or similar potentially problematic substances, as it has not harmed me or my girlfriend in a year's time of use. Besides that, it's just an ordinary, if incredibly effective, bottle of lube.

Excellent stuff; overall, a good product. If you're looking for something to finally get you going on your quest to find the holy grail, this is a good step in the right direction.

We had tried anal a couple times, and we had gotten small toys and fingers in, but until this lube, I could never get myself into her without hurting, so we had never really been able to enjoy the experience. Then we got this stuff and tried it, and it worked. I was ecstatic, needless to say, and she was happy as well. Once we finally run out of this bottle, I fully plan to buy another one.
