Sliquid's Organics line is one of the best lubes we've found. Most others contain parabens (both the propyl and methyl varieties), and in case you haven't been paying attention, other countries have already qualified these as toxic substances (and the last thing you want in/on your most intimate parts). Since I'm highly allergic to both, I always look for products entirely free of glycerin and parabens (which, hey... Sliquid Organics Natural are free of all of this crap). What's inside? Purified Water, Plant Cellulose (from Cotton), Aloe Barbadensis*, Natural Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Cyamopsis (Guar Conditioners), Extracts of Hibiscus*, Flax*, Alfalfa*, Green Tea* & Sunflower Seed*, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid. I can't find many others that actually have ingredients that don't come from a chemical plant, and especially ingredients you don't have to look up on the internet just to figure out what they really are.

But how does it stack up to the usual lubes? First, it smells great. Since it uses natural extracts, like Green Tea & Hibiscus ("known for their invigorating and skin elasticity properties"), in addition to flax, aloe vera and alfalfa. While Sliquid claims the latter are "natural skin soothers", I can attest to the fact that after using Organics Naturals, my skin felt great. It's water based and water soluble, making it extremely quick and easy to clean up; just add a little water.

But how does it perform? Well, I've had a variety of organic/natural lubes that didn't last during 'extended use'. Organics Naturals tend to play well with non-porous materials, lasting quite a while. Unfortunately, reapplication can be necessary from time to time. We found that it worked best while playing together, but less than ideal for solo use.

Far and away the best part about this lube is the packaging. The 0.17oz packet is the perfect travel lube. There's a bunch of lubes out there that come in "pillow" packets, but what's inside is no better than used motor oil, combined with commercial grade preservatives (not what I want in/on my body).

I've been using this lube for months, and it never disappoints. We used to carry several of the small packs in all of our baggage, but now we have several bottles at home. It feels so great on the skin, with nothing to cause irritation. I really can't say enough good things about this stuff!
