Astroglide X? Never, ever.
I was really frustrated that this just felt so *gross*. It was disgusting and uncomfortable and when I decided I'd had enough it wouldn't even come off.

Pros
Made my hands soft, never comes off if you wanna do it in a pool or something.
Cons
Everything, except for the part where it made my hands soft.
I think that, aside from the Durex lubes that seem to make me itch and burn and want to cry, this is the worst lube I've tried to date. I will *not* be purchasing this lube. In fact, you couldn't *pay* me to use it. It's down-right disgusting. I'd rather do dry anal than use this. It was terrible.
Alright, now that I've got that out of my system... About the product!
It was very runny. I used it in the shower and, had it not just come from the bottle, I wouldn't know that it was a lube rather than water. No taste, no smell. Just very oil-y feeling. It smoothed onto my skin, coating it like butter. Hell, I might have been better off using butter. Anyways, it just kind of sat there, all thin and sad. Not unlike a homeless puppy. I was dreading the next step, but since it was the only lube I could find and I wanted to get my orgasm I proceeded to attempt to use it.
I started with anal, since that's usually what gets me wet enough for my other toys and it was a little uncomfortable. Granted, reverse-pooping a toy isn't generally thought of as a comfortable thing, but it was not pleasant. I used it with a fairly textured toy and the lube wasn't thick enough to keep the texture from irritating. My butt aches a little right now.
So, rather than getting me ready it kind of turned me off. I went to clean up and it wouldn't come off. At first I tried body wash, because it was the first thing I grabbed and nothing. So I got the hand soap. It didn't come off. After a while of scrubbing my toy I said "Screw it!" and grabbed the Dawn. My toy is finally clean. Not willing to rub dish soap on my butt, I still have a bit there and it's beginning to look more appealing. This lube ruined my fun-time. Only plus side? After messing with it so much, my hands feel pretty soft. I suppose the remainder can be used for serious moisturizing situations.
Oh, I left some on a silicone sample I got with a specialty toy I ordered. The lube did not affect the sample at all, it just sat there. Not saying you should, but if this is all you've got, as long as you condom up your toy, should be okay if you use this.

Follow-up commentary
4 days after original review
So, I still won't use it for it's intended purpose, but I did get the best shave I've ever gotten with it. Ran out of shaving cream this morning and remembered reading something about using silicone lube as a shaving cream so I decided to try it. It worked really well and like I said before, it made my skin soft. I just wish it was easier to get off. Ah well, nothing is perfect.

I laughed so much while reading your review. I'm sorry it didn't work out, I keep reading about how this brand dries out quickly and is a bitch to get off of toys. I'll definitely be staying away from it!

Thanks for an honest review. I like astroglide water-based lube, but this one doesn't sound too good. Have you tried other silicone lubes and if so, which one(s) do you like?
