My wife and I have tried a variety of water-based lubricants through the years with Astroglide being the old standard, but after seeing the ratings JO H2O received we decided to give it a shot. I can safely say that as long as this product continues to be produced, we will never switch to another lubricant. It does everything a good, basic lube should do by providing a good balance of slipperiness and friction while needing very little lube to get the job done.

We've used JO H2O safely on jelly, silicone and glass toys with little need for reapplication. One of the only times reapplication has been necessary is when using the We-Vibe 2 during intercourse, when the vibe began to create too much friction on me. It also works great for digital and vaginal intercourse, providing enough lubrication for comfort but also leaving enough friction for stimulation. It seems to be a bit thin for anal play, which is another time that we've needed reapplication of the product. Keep in mind the product does contain parabens, so if you have a sensitivity you may want to choose something else.

There's no smell and not much of a taste, which is slightly sweet but not very pleasant. You only need a little bit to get the job done, so start small until you figure out just how much you personally need. Fair warning, the lubricant has a pretty quick flow and in the dark it can be difficult to tell just how much you've applied. It will leave "wet spots" on the sheets until you wash them, but it will wash out completely and won't leave any kind of stain. I'd also recommend cleaning up immediately after you finish your intimate activities, as it will turn somewhat sticky and remain that way until you wash it off.
