When it comes to lubes for 'backdoor' play, there are several choices. If you're using fingers or other body parts, then your choices are many. If you're using toys, then you obviously want something that's compatible with what you're using at that particular time. Silicone lube tops my list for most purposes, but if I'm using a silicone toy, then it obviously has to be a water-based lube for the job.

I've tried quite a few lubes for this over the years. For the longest time, it was always Astroglide to the rescue, but some time ago I discovered Sliquid's Sassy Booty lube. After researching it for a while, I decided to order a bottle and I'm very glad that I did!

The bottle arrived in a small, clear plastic bag that was just enough to cope with any spills in transit. The bottle itself surprised me at how small it was, at just 4.2fl oz. I was really hoping for something a little bigger at the price, although I'm always aware that you often get what you pay for.

Part of the attraction with this was the fact that it's all-natural (the ingredients are Purified H2O, Plant Cellulose (from Cotton), Cyamposis (Guar Conditioners), Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid.) I try to avoid anything too chemical-y for my nether regions, and this has never once caused any sort of reaction.

The consistency is thicker than I expected for a water-based lube. It's obviously not as thick or as slick as silicone lubes, and I've actually seen this described as being like hand soap. I'd say that's a pretty good description.

As with most water-based lubes, this one will tend to dry out, although not as quickly as some that I've tried. It doesn't really get tacky, although I do find that I have to reapply it fairly often. The (cheaper) alternative to that is to reactivate it with water, but I don't always have a faucet nearby when I'm face down and ass up!

The cap is a press-down one and the bottle is plastic. This means that you can squeeze the bottle to get the lube out, which you'll almost certainly have to do once you get about half way down your bottle. The less lube you have, the harder it is to get out.
