Most likely because reviewers starting out have to review cheaper items first. I'd guess that lubes and massage balms/oils would be many reviewers' first picks since they'd want to buy the stuff anyway.

A lot of people use Astroglide, so it doesn't surprise me. I reviewed it myself

Good point, potstickers. It's just a huge surprise to me! See, usually when there are 20 or more reviews on something, you can't get it for free assignment to review (although you can certainly do buy-out), so I don't think one should review it. There might not be much more useful information to add then because everyone else has covered it all.

Haha, well I guess it's like some products you see on amazon that have hundreds of reviews. But yeah, I won't be reviewing astroglide. I doubt anyone would read my review on it.

Actually you can't get it free if there are 2 reviews, unless a mod approves it. I bet a lot of people reviewed it as one of their first two items before becoming advanced, since it's a fairly common thing to already have around the house.

A lot of people use Astroglide, as it is easy to find. Also, a lot of younger doctors feel cool suggesting Astroglide instead of staid old KY, like their fathers did. Really.

We used to use it, before I found lubes we realized were a lot better for our needs.

Also, when people are just starting out reviewing, they may not have a lot of sex toys, but they probably have a bottle of Astroglide lying around to review.

One of my first few reviews was Astroglide glycerin and paraben free (Green Cap) and I reviewed it because it was the first lube that didn't give me infections. Like I said, we've found much better lubes lately, that we like a lot more, but it was one of the first things I reviewed, after my beloved Wahl.

Well it is a pretty popular lube! Although 98 reviews is a bit much...at least I,m pretty sure you could find out every little detail about this product!

Agreed!

There's everything you need to know about Astroglide probably.

When I joined EF the first thing I thought of was writting a review on Astroglide, as we use it regularly and I would not have to wait to recieve an item to review. We decided to skip the review just from the fact that we could not come up with anything that had already been said about it!

I reviewed it and for the price it is not the worst out there. It is widely available and popular.

Wow! That's a lot of reviews for a lube. I have never used Astroglide but heard good things about it.

ACK. I DON'T love Astroglide. It gave me a yeast infection.

Astroglide and KY were the only lubes I was aware of, prior to getting serious and researching both lubes and toys.
And yes, Astroglide, I feel contributed to some of my yeast infections. I love choices.

Doesn't surprise me. I love Astroglide, I would probably review it myself if it didn't already have so many good reviews.

Another thing to consider, Astro Glide is sold in many stores like Walgreens and Wal Mart. Since you do not have to buy a product from EF to review it, it makes this type of product an easy way to get started writing reviews.

I agree. It's a pretty popular brand. I've used it as well.

Astro Glide is just a common lube.

Wow, that's a lot! Maybe it's the lube of choice for most because they remember the name of it. I dunno.

I have to agree with Carre, People start out reviewing what they know, at least thats how I started. I have experiance with the toys and other nick nacks I have reviewd so its esier. Also the reviewers that are doing it for points may not have money to spend on new items at the moment so they go for the easy stuff that they already know.
Personally thats why i reviewed it. It got me the points I needed for my new bullet and it was something im experianced with so it was easy to write about. im sure im not the only person on the site with the same logic

I almost wish there was that many reviews for all lubes. Probably bring down the ranking of some, but it would let the ones shine stand out.

I try to write a detailed review on anything with which I have had a memorably good or bad experience - I just did a write-up about Astroglide (ugh) the other day

Not surprising, since it's SO widely available and well-known, that most people have tried it or have easy access to some.

I reviewed it because I've used it in the past. I didn't buy it on edenfantasys; I bought it at a grocery store. It's a really commonly used lube. A lot of people seem to love it or hate it. It's an easy review to do if you just want to get another review out there.

it's probably because the lube is cheap
