When I first got this in the mail, I opened it up -- it smelled amazing. It really did smell like watermelon candy. When I tried a small taste of it, it tasted kind of chemically. Not terrible, but certainly not the mouth-watering flavor that it smelled like it would be based on just the scent. It felt like regular JO, with a nice smooth, almost silicone-like feel. However, once I involved my husband in the picture, that little chemical taste was immediately gone. My husband had absolutely no complaints with it, and neither did I. He said it wasn't sticky or uncomfortable after-the-fact, and I found the flavor to be amazing in producing the extra saliva necessary to make a good blowjob a fucking amazing blowjob.

I find System JO H2O to be a very versatile personal lubricant that can be used comfortably in most situations. Be it adding a little extra wetness during masturbation, lubing up my toys for solo play, mild anal play (plugs and fingers, mostly), or just plain old sex, JO has done me wonders. I sometimes wish that it was a bit thicker so that it could accommodate me better for more anal situations, but for those who are used to using a thinner lube or don't have problems with insertion, this may work wonderfully.

JO advertises itself to be 'Silky smooth "Silicone feel,"' and I am in complete agreement. I actually had to double-check the label that it was actually a water-based lube, because it really does feel just like silicone. I didn't experience any problems with it getting sticky or tacky after use, though it usually does need a few applications for longer sessions.

The biggest downside for me are in the ingredients, as it contains both parabens and glycerin, so for those with allergies or sensitivities, this may not be for you.

Ingredients: (INCI) Propyl Paraben, Methyl Paraben, Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, Glycerin, Purified Water (Aqua), Watermelon Flavor (Armoa).

As a side note, only after doing this review, I noticed that the container that was sent to me had an expiration date of 6/11 -- and I purchased mine in 9/11. I'm not sure how this expiration effects anything, so I won't be using this one again, but I will be replacing it with one that isn't expired, because even expired, I enjoyed it that much.

I have very few complaints about Systems JO, overall, and this particular flavored style is no exception. While I wish that it were a bit thicker so that I could use it more often with anal, I'm sure that if it were thicker, I would wish that it were thinner for something else. This little bottle has certainly found a niche in my nightstand drawer that won't soon be replaced with anything else, certainly not any of the other normal lubricants in its price range.

I still use this product every time I give my husband oral sex, and have since obtained the strawberry flavor, as well. I enjoy them both, and plan to keep getting more every time I place orders, just as filler to get the free shipping. This item has definitely made a place in my toibocks, permanently.
