Liquid Silk|Liquid silk is by far my first choice in lubes for sexual intercourse. In my opinion, it most closely resembles my own natural lubrication. It is a lube that truly LUBRICATES without making the area slippery or reducing most friction. It makes the process of intercourse smoother on days when you need it, without interfering with the natural sensations of sex.

Liquid Silk is basically odor-free, but it does have a slightly unpleasant taste, so save this one for AFTER the oral sex!

Liquid Silk comes in a handy pump-top bottle that makes dispensing clean and simple. The dispenser doesn’t dribble lube everywhere, like so many flip-top bottles do. The lube is also extremely sheer, without losing its effectiveness. As a result, it is non-tacky, non-greasy, and non-goopy. With many lubes, my first impulse after intercourse is to high-tail it to the bathroom to clean up the sticky mess. Fortunately, this is not the case with Liquid Silk. With this lube I can actually relax after intercourse and cuddle or rest without feeling uncomfortable at all.

When it does come time for clean up, Liquid Silk washes or wipes off easily with a damp cloth. I personally like to use baby wipes for clean up, since a full bath or shower usually aren’t necessary with this lube (some lubes require me to soak in the tub to get them off!).

I’m not as fond of Liquid Silk when it comes to use with toys—I honestly think it’s just too thin. It works well enough with smooth glass (and I’d imagine stainless steel toys|Edenfantasys Collection of Steel Toys, though I don’t have any to test), but doesn’t provide enough friction reduction for jelly, elsatomer, and even some silicone toys. It WORKS for toys, but allows for a little too much friction for my comfort—I prefer something slicker when using non-living materials!

I still think this is the best lube out there for intercourse for those who need just a little help with their natural lubrication, or for prolonged sessions. One thing I did notice--this lube doesn't last forever in the bottle. Long before most of my other lubes called it quits, this turned yellow and cakey in the bottle. :(
