I desperately wanted this to work for me. I am a longtime fan of Sliquid’s Splash, and I thought that this lube would be perfect for me. It’s natural. It’s vegan. It’s cruelty-free. It’s compatible with silicone toys. What more could I want? But alas, we just weren’t a match. It is hard for me to really evaluate the product because it just didn’t work for my body. I’ll give it a shot, though.

Sliquid H2O is a water-based lube made with natural ingredients. The bottle lists them as: purified water, plant cellulose (from cotton), cyamopsis (guar conditioners), potassium sorbate, and citric acid. It is a clear, slightly viscous product with no odor. I found it to be similar to my natural lubrication, but it was a bit sticky, and the more I handled it, the stickier it got.

I’ve tried this lube with intercourse several times, and every time, I get this distant burning feeling in my lady parts. It isn’t anything like “YIKES! Get it off!", but it is uncomfortable and doesn’t make for a happy time. In terms of lubricating the area well for insertion, I’d say it does an okay job. However, there is one thing I really don’t like about this lube. I don’t know if this is common with lubes, since I don’t have much experience with them, but this lube is always cold! Now mind you, I’m a Texas gal currently living without AC (don’t ask, it’s a whole long, annoying story), so my apartment is not cold by any means. But whenever I get this lube out, I just find that it is freezing! It’s not enjoyable… most of the time at least. I have also used this lube to try to masturbate my partner, and it gets sticky and dries up quickly. The only thing I’ve really found this lube to be successful at is lubricating my external bits. At least it works for that.

I have seen many good reviews on Eden for this lube, so I really think that this is largely a compatibility issue. However, I did have to mark it down for drying up fast and being sticky. Overall, I think it may be a wonderful, or perhaps decent, lubricant for many. It is made from quality ingredients and comes in a thick, sturdy plastic bottle with an adorable little flower design on a vibrant blue, and a snap-open top. A word of caution: I do have experience with the Sliquid Splash leaking when turned on its side, and it is in the same type of bottle. Therefore, I would recommend keeping this bottle upright.
