I would have reviewed this earlier, but I kept dropping the mouse...
Slippery is good, slippery and water based is great, slippery water based with added potential heath risks reduced... enough said.

May be a bit more than the brand beside it. No functional flaws found.
Wow 300 words to describe lube, this should end well...
Well for starters it's an Astroglide product. Brand name recognition goes a long way for lube. This stuff starts slick and stays slick. It is a water based lube great for toys and and simple skin to skin contact. It also is billed glycerin and paraben free, which if that is important to you should be selling point enough.
To expand, there is still much debate about the safety of parabens, including the use of parabens in personal lubricants, some people prefer to reduce any potential risk by using lubricants that are paraben free. Regardless of any potential long term health impacts, parabens can and do cause allergic reactions for some people.
And as for glycerins, people who are prone to yeast infections, and anyone who currently has a yeast infection is advised to avoid personal lubricants with glycerin. Glycerin is a sugary liquid, and while there is no proof that glycerin will cause a yeast infection, lubricant manufacturers, and health conscious sex toy retailers recommend that you avoid lubricants with glycerin if you are prone to yeast infections.
Yes I did look those up, but for the right reasons, to inform...
Actually we have been using this product actively for quite some time, and figured we should pass on our knowledge of it. We have compared it to several other brands, and have found ourselves going back to it on more than one occasion even when other brands have been available at similar or lower cost. This stuff just works, and it works well. The lack of parabens and glycerins it really just an added bonus to the product. It has served us well on toy, fingers, small woodland creatures (makes it hard for the bears to open the trash cans :) ). It is simply a great all purpose, water-based, virtually taste-free lube, which we highly recommend to anyone.

Yep still slippery... Have not found much new with this product, although with ceiling fan season starting it does seem to tack up a bit in the breeze if left standing, but there are few that don't air dry out there...

I have this and thought it smelled like chemicals. Maybe I got a bad bottle? Did you notice any weird smell?
