K-Y was the first lube I ever tried and once I had tried something else I never went back. It might work for a quickie but it dries up quickly and I don't like how it feels. The gel gets gummy and sticky after just a few minutes. On the plus side, I never had any bad reactions to it and it's water based so it's toy and condom compatible. If nothing else was available I might give it another try but only as a last resort. Overall K-Y is just not something I can recommend.

It probably doesn't help the review that the first time I saw this was in my mother's dresser drawer when I was a kid. Most of my generation would probably say the same.

Thick gel that goes on easy but gets sticky quickly. Not a fan of the texture at all; it doesn't have a natural feel.

Not much scent, I can't speak for the taste. My boyfriend never mentioned a taste, however, so I would assume it's not noticeable.

Very short lasting, gets sticky quickly, and needs to be constantly reapplied. I always felt I had to wash it off afterwards but at least it washes away easily with water. It's probably good enough for a short session, but why settle?

K-Y's packaging is pretty well known and looks more like a medical ointment (I believe it was originally created for medical use) than anything else. Very recognizable.
