Liquid silk is a excellent water based lube for vaginal intercourse or masturbation. We have been using this the past few years after searching for a good lube. The bottle claims it has the subtle art of making people fit together and reduces friction in relationships. I have found those claims to be true. Liquid Silk is very slippery and makes penetration very easy and friction free. It is great for vaginal intercourse, mutual or solo masturbation, and toys. It would be great for menopausal woman or anyone who needs a little extra help. It is packaged in a convenient plastic pump bottle that is easy to use with little chance for a mess. There is no fumbling with caps or tubes. It could not be any easier.

Liquid silk has a thin, watery consistency. It is not sticky nor does it leave a residue after sex. If feels smooth and silky almost like natural lubricant. It does not just feel natural it also looks like cum. The best thing about this lube is that it feels natural. A full press on the pump bottle releases about a quarter size of lube. While it is watery, it does not run off my hand. It is easy to rub on the vagina or penis. One full pump is enough for us to lube up both of our respective body parts. If we are only going to use it on one of us, we only use about 1/2 a pump. A little goes a long way.

One of the downsides to this lube is the taste. It has a bitter chemical taste that just kind of stays on the tongue. You seriously do not want this in your mouth. For this reason, I do not recommend it for oral. It also has a slight odor. While not a pleasant aroma such as cinnamon, it is not overpowering. It has more of a neutral slightly chemical smell like new toys might have.

This is our favorite water based lube. It sits in a cabinet of our headboard and is always ready for use. We have used it for both intercourse and masturbation. A 1/2 pump or so is good for male masturbation or handjob. For intercourse we usually use a full pump. We have never had to reapply even with sessions that are 30-45 minutes. It does last a long time and would be a good choice for menopausal woman. It feels smooth without being sticky and is easily wiped off afterwards. It feels natural enough that I do not feel the urge to wipe it off right away. In fact, it does not feel any different than when we do not use any lube at all. I always relax for a bit before cleaning up.

I have also used this with toys. I have used it with jelly, plastic, and silicone toys without any problems. I do sometimes need to reapply the liquid silk on the plastic toys. We are very happy with the convenience and performance of Liquid Silk and will continue to use it.
