I was looking for a water-based lubricant that behaved as naturally as possible to be used with my new all-silicone Acute dildo (which would morph and break down if used with silicone-based lubricant.) My secondary hope was that Sliquid H20, my first foray into the world of lubricants, would not irritate my sensitive body while still being functional. Both myself and my partner were weary about water-based lubricants that contained sugar, a yeast infection being the least romantic thing either of us could imagine. Happily, I got what I was looking for!

Sliquid H20 did its job perfectly, lubricating both the toy and my body without making itself known; it was a non-assuming match to my body's own fluids, which also meant it did not cause any sort of reaction or irritation. Three cheers for having only a handful of ingredients! Moreover, a little went a long way in making the toy slick and extremely usable.

My only misgiving was that the lubricant was quick to dry up if the Acute was lubed up but not immediately used. Adding more lube was an easy fix, but this quick-dry effect may be a deal-breaker for those accustomed to more long-lasting lubricants.

After use, Sliquid H20 was no problem to clean off the toy. I did not even bother cleaning it off myself because it makes no mess and, if you can detect it at all, feels like your body's natural fluids (while being quicker to dry.) The lubricant also has no smell and is completely transparent. The packaging is as pictured. It is clearly sexual lubricant, in case that is a deterrent to any discreet buyers out there. I don't yet know how long 4.2 ounces will last be; again, because Sliquid H20 is relatively quick to dry, it may not last me as long as 4.2 ounces of silicone lubricant would.

I should note that I have tried the lube only with the Acute and with vaginal play; I do not know how well it performs with a real penis or during anal sex (something more viscous may be better for either of these scenarios.)
