With Wet Platinum, you just need a few drops and you're good to go, in my experience. I've only had to reapply after an hour or so, which is plenty of time to do some business. I've used this lube with non-silicone based toys (I've used it with jelly, metal, and plastic toys and haven't had any issues) to ease insertion, or when the sex session is lasting a while and I need lubrication reserves. This comes to the rescue, never stings, never falters. Silicone-based lube is especially good for anal, since it is not as readily absorbed in the anus as is water-based lube, although this particular lube is thin and slides around easily. It is safe to use with condoms. I used it with male latex condoms that were pre-lubricated. I recommend getting non-lubricated condoms and using this to lube up instead (fewer chemicals). Some pre-lubed condoms contain nonoxynol-9 and parabens which irritate a lot of people who think they're allergic to latex when they're really sensitive to these chemicals- Wet Platinum contains none of them! Since it is silicone-based, you cannot use this lube with silicone toys because it will degrade the material.

It does not feel sticky at all. It feels slick and slightly oily. I usually wipe it off with a dry cloth, and that removes most of it from toys and bodies. The one downside is my hands will feel oily from applying it and I have to wipe them off good before resuming action. You should do this anyways, but you absolutely need to wash off any toys used with the lube with gentle soap and water, to get the lube off. Since it's oily, rinsing won't work.

I also think the bottle has a sleek design and looks attractive sitting on my dresser. The pouring design of the bottle is small and simple so it can be controlled, you can add just a few drops or squeeze out a more if you need, but it won't slosh out and make a mess.
