There’s not better way to say this, so I’m just gonna say it: I love ID Millennium. I first tried out this lube when I started getting interested in ass-play|Anal Toys and Anal Pleasure, and needed something to facilitate the experimentation process. This silicone lube was highly recommended to me by a friend, and I picked some up at an adult store.

ID Millennium|ID Millennium Lubricant is silicone based, which is wonderful because it’s suitable for use in the shower, bathtub, pool, or, well, even a tropical waterfall situation if that's your thing. It’s safe for toys, and provides an absolutely silky sensation that never gets sticky, never dries up, and only takes a tiny bit to get, and keep, the party going. The texture is slick, velvety, quite wet, and feels very natural. There’s no unpleasant odor and virtually no taste, though I don’t advise ingesting large quantities or using it for oral sex. It’s clear, non-staining, and the lubrication really does last until you wash it off.

The packaging is also well designed. It has a flip top and side grips for the fingers, so handling the bottle with super-slick fingers isn’t a disaster. However, because the lube isn’t water soluble, you may need to wash the outside of the bottle from time to time with soap and water to keep it from being permanently slippery. Also, trying to simply wipe it off your hands before touching something else won’t entirely work, I guess because this stuff is just so damn effective.

Because ID Millennium only needs a few drops to work, the large bottle will last quite some time, even if you’re using it daily. However, it’s not a cheap lube, and may not be something you’re willing to spend over twenty or forty dollars for. Also on the downside, it does take actual washing with soap and water to remove the product; not just from your hands, but from all the body parts that have come in contact with it. I’ve emerged from many a shower only to find a slick spot still lingering somewhere on my skin. I would say this is not the lube of choice for quickies… just keep that in mind.

Overall, I enthusiastically recommend ID Millennium, price and challenging removal notwithstanding.
