Picked this up on a whim to replace our nearly empty bottle of lube. We were both very happy with this lube. Some of the water based lubes we've used in the past got sticky and had to be reapplied, often multiple times. This is a total mood killer. This one last much longer than anything we have tried before. Generally it only has to be reapplied during extended play times.

Taste/Smell:
We can't comment on the taste as neither of us have tasted it, or at least we don't remember it if we did. It doesn't have a strong odor. I would actually describe it as scent free. One big plus to this lube is that it hasn't left any oily marks on our sheets like other lubes have. This one washes out nicely. We've had other water based lubes in the past that left small oily spots where it had come in contact with the sheets.

Consistency:
It was a little thinner than some of the previous lubes we had used so you do need to take some extra care while applying. It's not thin in a bad way, just be careful how much and how quickly you apply it. It does a good job of not absorbing into the skin to much so it keeps things slick and moving without stopping to add more. We've also not had any problems with it getting sticky or gummy which is great.

Recommended Uses:
I'd recommend this for most uses. From masturbation to sex, I don't think you could go wrong with JO's H20 lube. We've never used it alone for anal play, generally we will use it to warm up and then move to a heavier lube. It might be enough if you added a lot but we generally prefer something a little heavier that sticks in place.

Both of us give this lube 5 stars. We'll be picking up another bottle when this one runs low.
