I really liked JO's water based lube. For me it was a great balance between adding a bit of lube but keeping some friction. I've never tried any silicone based lubes, so unfortunately I can't say if it feels like a silicone lube, but it was thicker than the other water based lubes I've tried so it was a nice change of pace. It was smooth and thick without being sticky. A little bit of this will go a long way; I only needed a little bit to cover my toy and myself. But, if you use too much it doesn't make too much of a mess. The bottle says that it will be good for another 3 years, but I'm sure I'll use it up before then!

It was very easy to clean up after, just a little soap and water and both the toy and I were clean. I haven't gotten any on my sheets, but since it is water based it shouldn't stain too badly and will clean right up in the wash. I would put it in a plastic bag if I was traveling though. It has a pop-tab opening, which is great to use in the moment, but I'm worried that it will open in my toy bag and make a mess.

One thing that I really did like was that it didn't have any smell or taste. It does contain parabens, so if you have an allergy you might want to look elsewhere. Mostly it is just water with some glycerin to thicken it up. It's safe with latex and silicone, which is a plus for all of us with silicone toys. The bottle says to keep it out of direct sunlight and store it between 77 and 41 degrees (room temperature). Also, it was made in the USA, so keep that in mind if that matters to you.

Really, it's just a basic lube without any bells or whistles, but I think it's a good staple to have in any sex drawer!
