The makers of this product weren't just being silly when they named this lube "Uranus." It really is a great lube for anal play and anal sex. Of course, it is a water-based lube, so anybody can use it. Whether you are planning a vaginal or anal endeavor, you won't be let down.

This product is great for silicone toys; unlike silicone-based lubes, you won't have to do any guess work as to which toys will be safe to use with this lube, because water-based lubes will not ruin your toys.

But wait, there's more! This lube will rock your world! I've had mine for several weeks, and consistently have had no pain from anal sex because of it. Before ordering this lube I experienced a bit of pain and discomfort with other water-based lubes and really didn't enjoy anal sex at all. Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I were heading down a road where I was reluctant to give in to his requests for anal sex, and now I'm asking for it on a regular basis.

So, to get to the bottom line, this lube will do wonders for you in terms of anal sex and anal play, and still gives you the option of getting creative with how and where you use it.

The thickness and consistency are really what make this lube stand out. I was actually shocked when I used this lube for the first time - from the moment I put a drop on my fingertips, I could feel that it was much thicker than the thin water-based lube I was used to. For this reason alone, I will never go back to my old lube.

My favorite thing about this lube is that it is sort of a hybrid between a gel and a watery substance, in the sense that it has a medium viscosity, not too think and not too runny. I can actually rub the product into my hands or skin without it ever drying, sticking, or coming off. In fact, I am typing with it on my hands to prove just how smooth and non-irritating it is... so I better wash my keyboard soon!

The moisturizing feeling it leaves on my skin ensures that I don't have to reapply during sex. With thinner lubes, my boyfriend and I would have to stop three to four times during anal sex to reapply lube and I was still left sore, but by using just a couple drops and one application of Uranus, I can enjoy anal sex without any unnecessary pain. I don't experience any of the dragging feelings I used to tolerate during intercourse, and instead those feelings are replaced with a heavenly, velvety, smooth feeling, leaving me more able to focus on the feeling of my man's penis, which is the ultimate joy I had been missing before.

If you taste Uranus lubricant by itself, it tastes similar to licking a stamp if anything at all. It is barely noticeable, and during oral sex I cannot tell that my partner is wearing it, other than because of the fact that his penis glides a bit more easily in and out of my mouth.

Furthermore, there is no aroma to this product at all, as far as I can tell. Sometimes I do enjoy a bit of flavor, but I am much more pleased to have lubricant go unnoticed during sexual acts than to worry about any artificial and harmful products that I might come in contact with in a fruity lube. Uranus promises to be safe to digest and hypoallergenic, which is definitely a plus for any couple.

As I have mentioned, this product lasts about as long as you do. If you put on a decent amount, you will not have to reapply. Even if sex lasts more than an hour, your lube won't dry up. Of course, you can add more lube for extra pleasure, but I prefer not to stop once I get going.

Another surprise is that I was able to use this product in the shower. Since I am quite opposed to having anal sex without proper lubricant handy, my boyfriend and I thought we might just see how Uranus performs in the shower. While it wasn't the perfect lube for use in water, it still maintained thickness and stayed put. As long as you aren't blatantly scrubbing off the lube, it won't go anywhere you don't want it to because of its ability to absorb into the skin.

When it comes to washing off the product, lightly scrubbing with soap and water is necessary. You won't feel greasy after leaving it on for a while, so you might not have to wash it off immediately after use, but I like to shower after using lubricant anyway just because I want to be extra safe about any infections or irritation that might occur without proper hygiene.

One unfortunate accident occurred when my boyfriend and I accidentally knocked the bottle over and got a spill on our carpet that we somehow didn't notice until the next morning. We live in an apartment which we share with roommates, and were anxious to get the spot out of the carpet, but no matter what we did, for a while it just continued to stay wet! It looked like I had spilled water. As there are no colors in the lube, it left no stain other than a wet mark. I had to find some carpet cleaning spray and scrub with a paper towel, and eventually it bubbled up to the surface and now the wet spot in our carpet is history, but I laughed to myself at the moment, thinking 'Wow, this product really does not dry up!' The viscosity and slickness of the lube was unchanged, even overnight, and left no crusty residue to be cleaned.

Uranus lube is packaged in a black cylindrical container with a easy-to-open-and-close lid that can be operated with just one finger. When you first get your lube, you have to untwist the top and take off the protective seal, but other than that, there is no need to ever completely remove the cap. The design is meant to be an "outer space" theme, since the product is called Uranus. Haha, funny right? Among the stars and planet images, there is product information in 3 languages, including ingredients, safety information, and warnings.

This information includes the fact that the lube is safe with the use of condoms, hypoallergenic, water-based, non-staining, not a contraceptive, and so on. While the product warns that it must be kept upright, as I have found by letting it lay on my floor, if the cap is securely closed, you will not have a problem with leaking. There is little to no lubricant residue on the container, which pleases me a lot, as I do not have to worry about getting slippery hands whenever I reach for the bottle.

I haven't had any problems with this lube thus far, and I have used it many times. Not only has it impressed me as a water-based lubricant, but it has also made me enjoy anal sex much more, and my boyfriend is shocked at how many times I have actually asked to have anal sex now. Uranus takes away the dragging, drying feeling that other thin lubricants stick you with.
