Having a hysterectomy during my reproductive years wreaked havoc on my body in several ways. When I started exploring my sexuality again, I was sometimes too dry to do anything. It was painful.

I went to my local adult store and they suggested a water-based lube, saying I would only need a drop or two. In reality, my tissue drank the lube. I would pour the bottle on myself directly. Within minutes, it would dry and leave a sticky residue so I would have to apply it again. I went back to the store and was told I bought the best they had. I did some research online and bought the Lelo moisturizer.

When I use the Lelo moisturizer, it is like having more of my own moisture. My dryness is not consistent and I cannot tell the difference between a good night on my own and a good night courtesy of Lelo moisturizer. It is like going back in time.

Most reviewers comment on how much they love the bottle. I agree that it is attractive, but that is the only positive. From a green perspective, the bottle is a lot of unnecessary heavy packaging for a small amount of product. If the ring is on, you need two hands to remove it. The spout so tiny that I need to look to be sure I am putting the lube on my toy rather than squirting it into the air. It is heavy and hard and makes a loud sound when I put it back on the nightstand.

Even though it is expensive, I plan to continue using the Lelo moisturizer. It would make sense to buy a larger volume to save money but the 5oz comes only in the bottle. I plan to pay an extra dollar and buy 2 tubes instead. It's worth it.
