For anal sex, silicone lube is a must. For anything else, I prefer using water based lube. I am going to give this 4 stars. It would get 5 stars if I had found it more useful for other sexual activity.

Pros
long lasting, good for anal sex
Cons
messy, have to wash off with soap and water, does not feel natural.
This lube can be used for anything sexual, with the exception of silicone toys. It can be used in the water. It can be used for either PIV or anal sex. It can be used with your set toys. It can be used for masturbation. It can even be used for massages. I would not use it for oral though. As it taste awful.
So to summon it up. No oral or silicone toys, every thing else fair game.
This has a heavy thick consistency. But that is due to it being a silicone based lube, and that it is designed for anal play. Anal lube is thicker by nature. The texture is smooth and silky. This stays in place a lot better then most of the lubes we have tried. You could put a drop or two on the head of my penis, and it would stay there long enough for her to get on top and insert it inside of her. Our other lubes would have been already running down my shaft before she could get into place.
I feel that silicone lube has a slight greasy feel to it. I think in part to that fact that you cant just wipe it off and be done with it. It sticks to your skin. It has a thick residue that is left on your skin after the fun is done. You have to jump in the shower to get it all off your skin. I hate feeling sticky and greasy, so I always have to take a shower after we use this or any other silicone lube. Or I cant go to sleep.
This has no smell to it. It has a awful taste though. The wife forgot that we where using silicone lube one night, and took it upon herself to finish me in her mouth. Lets just say that she could not get the taste our of her mouth with out brushing her teeth twice. It coated her entire mouth, kind of like pork fat does. It was a bad ending to a good night.
About the only thing this lube (or the other silicone lubes we have tried) works for is anal sex. It does not feel that great for use during masturbation or hand jobs. It gives my hand or my wife's hand too much drag when used for hand jobs. It does not feel natural for regular PIV sex. It is way too thick and does not feel like her natural lucubration. So we only use it for anal. It last longer then water based lube, making the anal sex easier as we don't have to stop to re-lube.
Again, this needs to be washed off with soap and water. Simply wiping it off with a towel will not get it off of your skin. So that is something to think about if you are one to "fuck and run" so to speak, as you will be feeling the lube until you shower and wash it off.
And again, silicone lube can not be used with silicone toys. It will break down the surface on your expensive toys.
This is packaged the same way as all of JO's different lubes. This did not come in any special packaging. Eden shipped it in a plastic bag to protect my other items in the event the bottle breaks during shipping. The bottle itself is the standard flip top bottle. Nothing special, but it works. I have not had it leak yet, but then I make sure the top is screwed on as tight as I can before putting it away in the drawer.
The label has instructions included on the back. There is also a warning box and a list of the instructions.
I find that if you get lube on the outside of the bottle, it is next to impossible to open the bottle in the heat of the moment. So take care to wipe down the bottle after each use. Or it will get all over the place. Not to mention that this lube might stain what ever it comes in contact with, so care is needed to make sure it stays in the bottle or on your private parts.
The ingredient list was written so small on the bottle, I could just barely make out the letters. And I have perfect eyesight. I am guessing they don't want you to know what is in the lube.
I cant state this enough. Do not use this with your silicone toys. It will damage them. Also, you will need to wash this off of you in the shower. You cant just use a wipe or a towel and get it off of your skin.
For us, that's a downfall. But we went into this purchase knowing that we would have to clean up with soap and water. And we also do not use this on a regular basis. It is a special once or twice a month type of lube. I could see this being a big turn off for you if you are looking for a lube to use daily.
We don't incorporate a lot of anal play into our bedroom. Every now and then we will, but for the most part it is not really something that comes up. Silicone lube works great for anal play. It out lasts us, and we love not having to re-apply lube in the middle of some dirty anal sex. So silicone lube is our go to lube any time anal play comes up. But for anything else, it just does not work for us. It does not feel natural when used for PIV sex. It does not feel good when used for a hand job. And most of the toys my wife plays with are made of silicone, so this lube is not a option for masturbation. So one little bottle of silicone lube will last us a long time. I purchased a few bottles last time JO silicone lube was on sale, and I expect it to last us the rest of the year.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it2 months after original review
I still like this as a anal lube. I enjoy using it because it stays slick and does not dry out in the middle of the anal play. That is about all it is good for in our bedroom. Thats not a bad thing. We just know what works for PIV sex, and this is not it.
