Fastest drying lube ever...

I was really hopefully that I had found an all natural lube that would be on par with the Sliquid Sassy natural lube, that is my current favorite, in stores; however, this lube costs twice as much, doesn't stay slick half as long, and it's consistency is not very pleasant when it's drier. If you don't mind waiting on shipping there are better water based organic/natural options out there, but overall this lube works just doesn't work as long as I'd like.

extremely useful review
I discovered this lube due to the green color of its tube, which stood out when I walked by the isle of the grocery store where the lubes are stocked. Upon further investigation I discovered it was a lube with no petrochemicals, parabens, or glycerin... with the goal of being mostly organic and natural. Now my favorite lube Sassy by Sliquid is also a natural lube so was excited to see one sold in stores so I could get something quickly if I ran out.

The packaging for the 4oz tube is pretty much the same as that of the 4oz KY tube, which is really well suited to store in my bedside table for quick access when needed.

I was really excited about this lube since it doesn't have any worrisome chemicals, is more natural based. Also, all the chemicals are ones I know and am not worried about ingesting or taking internally. That said this lube did not live up to my hopes. Just to be sure I did test this lube on my arm before using on more sensitive body parts with no adverse reaction in either case. The lube tube I grabbed didn't indicate any flavor; however, it does seem to have a very subtle vanilla taste/smell but is otherwise very similar in flavor to that of Aloe, which makes sense considering the ingredients.

The lube is slippery to start right out of the tube. If you have ever played with the aloe liquid from an aloe plant, this has the same gel consistency since Aloe is the primary ingredient of this lube. My guess is that this is mostly Aloe and the other ingredients are there to shelf stabilize it and make it more pH neutral. Aloe is a great moisturizer and my skin definitely felt softer more hydrated after using this lube. But if you've ever used Aloe before you'll know that it tends to dry out reasonably quickly and once it does it's consistency changes and it becomes less slick and more foam/creamy in consistency. This lube has the same behavior, with extended use the lube got dryer and became more like a creamy foam and didn't offer the same glide as it did originally. This change happened far faster than I would like in a lube.

The fact this lube dries out and becomes less slick so quickly compared to Sassy or other water based lubes I've used before this makes this a hard sell for how much this product costs. It costs about twice what Sliquid Sassy costs or the Sliquid Organics Sassy equivalent does, that I still haven't tried. The Sliquid options also being natural ingredients and lasting as long as any other water-based lube on the market. Also, this lube dries out so much faster that you would run through it faster than the Sliquid options that this really is a bad buy in terms of price and economy of use. The only upside for me is that I can buy this natural option in stores and don't have to wait for it to ship if I need something right now.

I definitely wouldn't use this lube for anal sex, since it dries out so quickly. It is rather problematic to both parties if the lube dries out during anal sex. So this lube would require frequent reapplication even during a short session, which would be annoying.

Likely this lube will work great for times when me and my girlfriend are looking to have sex but her natural lubricant is running drier than normal and we need some assistance to get things started for PIV sex. The drying out factor also makes it harder to use during masturbation as well.

One thought is that since it's basically Aloe, this lube might work great for massages since it would provide good glide for the length of a shorter massage but also moisturize the skin during the process.
Follow-up commentary
So too expensive to use, but noticed using it on a Fleshlight Forbidden sleeve that was too tight to work with K-Y well, that this worked amazing... really good sensation and glide. Turns out Sassy works well for this too but hadn't occurred to use my favorite anal lube for an anal masturbation sleeve. But for the Fleshlights this offers some of the best glide... but not worth the added cost + still requires more applications than K-Y. Sassy is the better option costing less and offering the same level of glide.

    A great alternative to a problematic purchase! I personally don't care for what's in most lubes (as long as they don't have a couple of select ingredients), I don't mind venturing out and trying things like Maximus. But this does sound great for massage! Thanks for the great review.

    Thanks!! It's definitely not going to go to waste... just not as good as I'd hoped. Joked with my girlfriend, worst case could also use it for burns since it's effectively pH stable Aloe. I like Maximus, but my favorite currently is Sassy by Sliquid.

    I'll have to try that.

    I suggest Maximus for everything! It's great!

    My ex-gf had issues with Maximus causing a burning sensation that we didn't have with other lubes... otherwise I really liked Maximus. Have never had issues with Sassy, and it's very similar in terms of consistency and lasting power.
