Original gel lubricant - lubricant discontinued by Wet Lubricants - review by lkb

I was given a few samples of Wet brand lube and figured I might as well use them - free lube, so why not? I hadn't heard anything about it before, though it's widely available and I've seen it in stores a lot and didn't know whether to expect it to live up to its claims. And I mean, you expect a lube called "Wet" to at least live up to that, right?

It's a water-based lube. I generally go with water-based lubes: it's compatible with all toys, which is a big plus. Of course, when using water-based lubes you'll want to use more of it; water-based lubricant generally dries out faster than other lubes. This holds true in the case of Wet lubricant. The consistency isn't ideal - it's sticky and sometimes leaves my insides feeling somewhat greasy and that's not altogether the sexiest. You'll need to reapply it regularly so it's not something I'd recommend for penetration because having to pause to reapply is never fun. It's incredibly easy to clean up (one of the perks of water-based lubricants) so you don't need to finish up and jump in the shower immediately. However, it won't stick for use in the shower or bath at all. It contains glycerin which some people react poorly with, so I'd keep that in mind if you've ever had a poor experience with things containing glycerin.

I've heard that it works well with male masturbators. The sticky consistency that threw me off is something found more appealing when you're penetrating rather than being penetrated, so there's that! Though it isn't very strong, it has a slight but unappealing taste when your nose is too close to it. It has no smell. It's widely available and cheap. I found it akin to K-Y brand lube, which apparently most people don't disagree with, so if you've tried and dislike K-Y, I wouldn't bother with Wet. All in all I'm not a fan of Wet, but it works in a pinch.
