Ultra Average
I stand by my opinion that this is a decent lube. Personally, it's not my favorite because of its ingredients and its lack of staying power. However, it does get the job done and would be a good buy for its price.

With a name like Ultra Lube, I would have expected something a bit more...well, ultra. I can't say that this lube is bad, yet I found nothing special about it. It did what it was supposed to, but it didn't last very long. It wasn't watery, but it wasn't very thick either. I feel that this lube does a decent job for its price, but it's just not that special. There is, however, some chemicals that I am wary of.
The ingredients are as follow:Distilled Water, glycerin, PEG-8, Carbomer 941, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Acesulfame K, Triethanolamine, Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Versene Na.It contains glycerin which has been known to cause irritation for some women, namely yeast infections. Also, this lube does contain parabens, which has been know to irritate users and has been linked to breast cancer.
Now, this is a water based lube, so it is very versatile. It's compatible with all condoms and toys, and can be used for vaginal, anal or masturbation. It is not a very thick lube, so you may want to stick with just light anal play with this one, but it's safe to use for all types of play. It will not work very well in water as it will wash off, but aside from that, this really is compatible with all types of play.
The viscosity is thinner than a nice silicone lube, but it is not runny by any means. It has a gel like consistency. It did get a bit lumpy a couple times I used it, but overall it wasn't very bothersome. It's smooth to the touch, as you would expect. However, its staying power leaves something to be desired. In a medium long session, I had to reapply once. I've found if I use a lot, there is a slightly sticky residue, but not enough to annoy me that much.
In the interest of being thorough, I did taste this lube. Unsurprisingly,it tasted quite sweet. However, there was a bad tasting chemical smell in it as well. It's not designed to be an oral lube, so I would not go off ingesting large quantities of it, but it's not a horribly tasting lube.

Experience
Not wanting to commit to a lube that I did not like, I bought the 1 oz package and I'm glad I did. While I like this lube well enough, I just don't feel wowed. I used it for solo play and I was annoyed that I had to reapply. I typically don't need that much lube, but with this one I felt that it dried up too fast. Also, I really couldn't feel much of a difference between this one and a generic drugstore brand of lube. For its price, I felt that it was a decent buy, but in use I was just not wowed.
Follow-up commentary
23 days after original review
Eh, I still don't really like this one. It's sticky and a doesn't last very long. I use it when I have nothing else, but I don't love it. I'm still wary of the parabens, so when I run out of this one, I won't be replacing it.
