Sliquid H2O Water based lubricant

A generous 4oz. Bottle that features a sturdy press-to-open style top and is decorated with Sliquid's iconic brand-label in pleasing shades of blue. As with this style of lid, you have to make sure you snap it all the way closed. More than once I've not pressed it down all the way and tossed it in the toy box to find the next day my lube landed on its side and has leaked onto the bottom of the bin.

The label reads: Water based and water soluble, glycerin and fragrance free, hypoallergenic and non-toxic
latex, rubber and plastic friendly, Non-staining and unflavored, Uniquely blended to emulate your bodies own natural lubrication, formulated to last longer than most hollywood marriages.

It also says that Sliquid H2O is not a spermicide and any spills should be cleaned immediately with soap and water to prevent injury and embarrassing explanations. Unfortunately it's rather blatantly a bottle of lubricant and can't really be passed off as anything else, but it can be camouflaged amongst other bottles of products like lotion and massage oil or the like.

The lubricant is made of purified water, sorbitol, cellulose, poly-quart 007. I believe the sorbitol is added to give the lube a flavorless and yet sweet taste. I hate the way this stuff tastes, sorbitol is technically an artificial sweetener, but thankfully not one I'm allergic to. It gives the lube that nasty diet aftertaste. It has absolutely no odor and is a crystal clear gel about the thickness of warm honey.

The lubricant in pleasantly slick and slippery, and one of the better silicone free water-based lubes i've used. It lasts a good 3 min of my “high friction” test, i.e. a drop on the back of my hand and I rub the backs of my hands together as fast as I can. So during “normal” activity it lasts about 20 min. It works well for both vaginal and anal penetration the “loose jelly” consistency I find particularly helpful during “butt warm up”.

The downside to this lubricant is that after about 20 minutes give or take it starts to get tacky. The label says it can be “revived” with water or more lube, and while this is true, it's kinda of annoying to stop in the middle of fun time to grab the lube, and unfortunately spit just doesn't cut it. Once it starts to get sticky it becomes a lint magnet, if you have a down comforter like me you might end up with feathers stuck to odd places (I really need to invest in one of those posh throes). It does not, however, do that nasty thing some lubes do, where as it starts to dry it “pills” or forms little balls of dried whatever that flake off your bits and look disgusting. I recommend keeping some wipes or a damp face cloth nearby for when the lube starts to get tacky. It washes away quickly with a few swipes of a baby wipe or some soap and water and it hasn't stained or dis-colored any of the sheets we've used it on. Because it cleans away so easily and is water soluble I don't recommend using it in the tub/shower.

Over all I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a good water based, silicone toy friendly lubricant. Being hypo-allergenic and glycerin free as well as vegan earns it a few bonus points in my book. Until I discover something better it's my go-to lube for silicone toys. The only real con is that it gets sticky when it starts to dry up. I like it a lot, I'll go so far as to say it's my favorite non-silicone lube, but it's not my all time fave.

One of the best Sliquid formulas, this lube lasts and doesn't get sticky as it dries down. It's not my favorite, but one of the best water based non-silicone lubes i've ever use.
