Let me preface this with the caveat that the wife and I have been Astroglide fans for a long time (well, not fans, but dedicated users, it's cheap, widely available and gets the job done, still, it's not awesome in various ways that would be outside the scope of this review). We finally changed from the regular stuff to the gel because the package didn't leak in the drawer. This is our first bottle of premium lube. It's definitely not going to be our last. So take my enthusiasm with a grain of salt.

This stuff is amazing! It comes in a nice bottle that you can leave out because a casual visitor will assume its moisturizer. Very discreet, super easy to operate one handed, even when tired, too aroused for fine motor skills and slippery with various fluids, this is what lube packaging should be. That said, it is tall, and won't fit in a short night table drawer.

At first squirt you do get an overwhelming impression of semen. That can be a plus or a minus depending on your feelings about man- milk. It's thinner then that fluid, but the same color. It doesn't run very fast, even on a vertical surface and feels, appropriately for its name, silky on the skin. It stays slippery for a fairly long time, and when it fails, rather then gumming up like that cheap lube I mentioned up top, it just fades away, kind of like lotion, but much later. It leaves your skin feeling moisturized rather then sticky. This is the first lube I've used that I don't feel like I have to wash it off immediately after use. Super impressed.

It doesn't have an objectionable smell or taste.

It's probably a bit thin for being your go to lube as a solo male. It works, but is somehow unsatisfying compared to something with a bit more weight. It's great for toys anally and vaginally and super easy to clean up. A wipe of a cloth and you're not slippery or sticky any more.

I'm a big fan and this marks a definite drive to explore the nicer end of the lube pool (ick, lube pool.)

A strange aside. When using this solo (as a dude) it's the noisiest stuff. I think that relates to how thin it is, but, man, the sound is as if the entire foley team from American Pie is working on making my masturbation sound as silly as possible. Distracting, but not the end of the world.
