The listed ingredients on the bottle are: Propyl Paraben, Sodium Carboxy, Methyl Cellulose, Acacia Honey type A, Peppermint, Purified Water. I got the 2.5 oz bottle, but you can also get a larger 4.5oz size. It contains no Wax, Oil, Glycerin or Silicone and is latex condom friendly. It is water based, and is perfectly safe to use with your silicone toys as well. Since most of my toys are silicone, and my husband is only home for a few days a month - this is pretty important to me.

It is watery enough that a drop will drip down your skin if held vertically, but if the bottle is tipped over it does not leak out. Once it has been smoothed out, it does stay in place and takes quite a while to dry. It did not leave my skin or toys feeling sticky, greasy, or dried out, and left no stains or residues anywhere that I noticed. System Jo intended for their H2O line to have the benefits of a silicone lubricant while keeping it water based, I have no complaints and am going to say it worked exactly as it was supposed to.

I did reapply once the first time I tried it out with my toys, but probably didn't need to since water based lube can be reactivated with a small amount of water. When used vaginally with my toys, I didn't notice the warming. But noticed it right after application when used anally and it did feel very warm. I only needed to use 2-3 drops each time, I tried it out 4-5 times before using it with my husband...and he squeezed out what felt like quite a bit when he put it on me....But the bottle still looks full with probably less than 1/4 inch of lube missing from the top.

The plastic bottle it comes in is fairly stiff, with a push top and when my hands were slippery it was hard to get more out because the bottle just wanted to slip away when I tried to squeeze it. If you have a towel nearby this is where it would come in handy, but like I said I only re-applied once the first time I used it and found that I didn't need to after that so this was mainly an issue when switching to a different toy. If you need to be discreet, the bottle does say ANAL in big red letters on the front. But you can always put it on the shelf with the back of the bottle facing out and hope no one turns it around, or keep it tucked away in a drawer.

For anyone who is wondering, I did not try using this lube in the shower...but considering that it washed off very easily with soap & water (and probably would have washed off just as well with just water) I am going to say it would not be the best choice for shower play. If you must use a water based lube in the shower, you should be fine if you try to keep it away from the water flow.

I read a couple other reviews saying it had a peppermint aroma - I could not smell it myself. I originally thought it was tasteless as well, since if there is only a thin layer the peppermint taste was barely noticeable. But with a large amount it does have a fairly bitter peppermint flavor. This wasn't a big deal to me personally, since I wasn't planning to use this lube for oral ...but may bother others.

We did use this for anal sex, which made my husband very happy since we don't manage to do it very often. It stayed slippery and moist the entire time, we didn't need to add any more and it was comfortable for me which is what mattered the most, to us!

I continue to reach for this lube first when needing an anal lube, mainly because it is water based and compatible with my toys. Even though I have been using it 2-5 times per month for several months now my bottle is still nearly 3/4 full and I don't see it emptying anytime soon!

I have started noticing the warming effect less and less each time, so it may be a sensation you can get used to but it's slippery and it works so I am very happy with it!
