This is a lube that seems to have a lot of great pros when you read about it, and looks good on paper, but in reality it doesn't work as well as you'd hope. If you want a lube that is water based, close to the real thing, free of strange smells, works with your silicone toys, vegan, hypoallergenic and good for sensitive skin, this might be the one for you. However, it disappears pretty quickly, and thus it is not ideal for external stimulation or anal sex. You'll need to reapply often, which will make you run out of lube quite quickly. Also, its slightly bitter taste makes it rather unsuitable for oral sex. If you have sensitive skin and want a lube to use mainly for penis in vagina sex, or to use with toys, Sliquid H2O might prove to be a great option for you.

This lube is very smooth and slippery, but also quite thin. It doesn't stay in place all that well. If you put it directly on a toy it might not be a problem, but if you pour it directly in your hand it will run between the cracks of your fingers, and everything will get messy. Fortunately, it doesn't stain. It's supposed to mimic natural lubrication and I think it does so quite well, perhaps it's a bit thinner. It is also very non-sticky, and doesn't leave any residue.

The bottle says it will get "reactivated" if a little water is applied, but I personally find that this does not work; it seems to disappear completely instead.

The scent of Sliquid H2O is barely detectable, although if you use a lot you can sort of tell it's there. It smells a bit soap like, which is strange as it contains no such thing. However, the smell is not unpleasant, and as I said, it is barely noticeable. The taste on the other hand is faintly bitter, but I wouldn't claim that it is as strong as some other reviewers say it is. It is one of the least bitter non-flavored lubes I've tasted, but it is still rather bitter tasting and thus not ideal for oral sex. If you intend to have oral sex after using this, I suggest cleaning it off first.

Unfortunately, this lube doesn't last very long. You'll have to reapply it every few minutes, which gets rather tiresome. If you are prepared to reapply quite often, it might work with penis in vagina sex. Although for clitoral stimulation or anal sex, it is hopeless to use, as it disappears way too quickly. It does however work very well with toys, especially glass toys that don't need as much lubrication and thus less reapplying. When used with toys, this lube works really well as its thin consistency gives a good glide, without lessening the feeling like some thicker lubes do. The lube feels very natural, and when it disappears it leaves a soft, non-sticky feeling.

Sliquid H2O comes in a bottle with a flip-top lid, which makes for easy opening even if you're already slippery. The lid closes tight so there should be no accidental leaks. The bottle is not very discreet, as it becomes obvious if you read the label that it is a bottle of lube, as it says "natural intimate lubricant". This shouldn't be a problem however, as the bottle is small enough to fit into a drawer, if you want to keep it away from prying eyes.

Sliquid H2O is vegan and also hypoallergenic, so it is absolutely non-irritating. The ingredients are purified water, plant cellulose (from cotton), cyamopsis (guar conditioners) potassium sorbate and citric acid.
