A great product, water based but silky indeed
Try it; you will like it. The best part is how slick and creamy it feels, in my opinion one of the best water based lubes about tied with water based Wet.

Pros
Dries with out tackiness, great dispenser.
Cons
Like all water based lubes, it eventually dries.
Liquid silk is a odorless (I noted some other reviewers didn't like the smell), water based lubricant that is safe with condoms, and silicone toys. It comes in the always convenient pump dispenser so you don't have to fumble around with a lubed up bottle. The nozzle re-locks, excellent for road trips, or storing the bottle on its side without fear of it spilling all over the place.
Liquid Silk has a creamy white appearance and while all water based lubricants suffer from dry-out, I feel this one keeps its viscosity better than Astroglide or K-Y Jelly. It's priced competitively and you don't have to feel bad about using copious amounts (both from a cost and cleanup perspective). In addition while many lubricants provide a slippery feeling, Liquid Silk provides a slippery feeling that more resembles my partner's "natural" lubricant. It can be better described as an almost creamy/slippery sensation.
Another upside is that clean up is a snap, just dry off. With a lot of other products I found it was best to rinse off so I wouldn't have that tacky residue. That's not the case with Liquid Silk, there's little to no residue after you towel off. As for the taste, well they make flavored products for that, so I would recommend using activity specific lubes. It's unfair to judge a product that doesn't imply oral uses.
I have found this product is suitable for masturbation, mutual masturbation, anal and vaginal sex. However, you may have to reapply if the session is prolonged. Its wonderful coefficient of friction(slipperiness)makes it ideal for most uses. However it didn't work well for a massage.
I have noticed that you won't find it in the major drug store chains, so you're going to have to mail order and wait, but I feel it's worth the wait. I would suggest buying 2!

Our new fav is Wet Platinum, it's silicone based, so maybe it's not fair but Im done with water based lubes, to hell with sensitive toys.

I also have had this react with a silicone toy that it was in contact with for an extended period of time, and I regret that and wish this did not happen..but this product is still fun and better than many brands on the market lately.

Have you tried this product with silicone toys? Like ThePinkPoppet says, silicone toys may not actually be compatible with this lube. It's still a good lube, though I'm lucky a nearby sex store sells this kind, but EF still has the best price!
-
we have used this lube with silicone toys, but it wasn't for an extended period, but overall we treat out toys poorly, we use incompatible lubes, etc. We have only had a couple of instances of materiel degradation, and they were cheap toys that were old. Dumb luck to be sure.

Thanks for the review

Nice review, thanks!

Liquid silk is actually a hybrid lube; water and silicone based.
-
Carrie is right, its a hybrid , not purely water-based
