Which to talk about first? The good and fun? Or the bad and the learning curve?

I've got no idea, so let's do the technical details of the review first as those are the easiest to do!!!

It's clear and one of the thickest/slickest water based lubes I've used (Toy Fluid, System Jo, Lelo). The ingredients are what makes it a ph neutral lube, water, vegetable glycerin, polyethylene oxide, grapefruit seed extract. Harmless to all types of toys; won't harm your silicone toys, latex friendly, and a friend to all toys.

Probe comes in two sizes, small (8.5oz) and large (17oz). The small comes with a press top, and the large with a pump. I wish all lube came with a pump top! Would make everything so much easier!

It's thick, stringy (think Lady and the Tramp noodle scene for stingyness), tasteless, odourless, and because it is ph neutral, it won't make your lady parts itch, leak, or stink.

This lube's got it all!!!

It is a lube I strongly (would oh so very strongly work as well???) recommend for those that have vaginal sensitivity to chemicals. I've been trying to write a review for Fun Factory's Toy Fluid and System Jo Flavoured Lube, for when I apply either, I seem to get a slight reaction to them where my natural juices become slightly discoloured, and a minor itch develops for a day or two afterwards. And the worst part, I don't know what causes it exactly. Because of this, it forced me to reach out to try other lubes which lead me to Probe. And I've no reactions of any kind when I use Probe.

Needless to say, I have been impressed with using Probe in my solo play, anal play, oral, during sex... but not to breast play as it absorbs too quickly into my skin giving me a slight friction burn and him a painful raw cock.

It's nice and thick, and slick for anal use without the need for reapplication right in the middle of everything. The bonus feature of this is you know how when the toy or cock just enters you and no matter how much you try to relax, you only get a portion of the lube in you? No more worrying about those little tears because you don't want to stop mid play and ruin the heat of the moment because you had to stop and reapply. I found using this during solo play for anal, it lasted as long as I needed it too.

Vaginally, when mixed with your natural juices, it's super duper long lasting, and made for a slick ride for as long as you need it to be. I did find that after my first orgasm with a partner, I had to reapply, but that I also find with other lubes as well. When I masturbate, I usually add a little extra lube so I never need too.

Sounds like the perfect stuff right???

ONLY if you live in the right climate. But I'll get to that in the experience portion. Gives you something to look forward too!!!

I liked how the bottle came with a safety seal, and EF put it in a baggie with a knot for shipping. For me, I went out and bought a little 1oz pump bottle and filled it with Probe for when I travel, and just toss it into my shower bag. If anyone see's it, they think it is just one of the many lotions and potions a woman travels with.

After results. I found it almost gummy and sticky. But not the white flakey I have seen with other lubes. Clean up was a cinch! Just a wipe with some warm water and a towel, or a body wipe and all was good! I really liked how you know how sometimes you just feel like you are not 'clean' vaginally after you have showered after using lube during sex or solo play? This stuff I never ever felt like there was residue left over. With some flavoured lubes, I find that the scent lingers long after I have bathed. For me, it does worry me when I visit the loo the next day and get a wiff of raspberries or peaches from my lube. With Probe, there was none of that. I felt clean after I bathed and had no lasting effects.

You know how sometimes in the dark you cannot always see what you are doing or how much lube you are applying and sometimes lube gets everywhere even on your sheets? This doesn't leave a stain, and dries so you cannot even see where it landed. Your sheets come out of the wash stain free.

I wanted to add this above, but I ran out of room. I've never used this lube in the shower, or in the bath, simply because of the way I feel after I bathe. I feel that the water would render Probe lube useless.

As my name suggests, I live in China. But to make matters worse, I live in the deserts of the north. It is a VERY dry climate, and so very cold and dry in the winter. Very dry and hot in the summers.

And it is actually kind of sad that I have to think about climates now when buying a lube.

Anyways, all the above positive experiences (barring the breast play that was a negative, but has happened with other lubes too) both with a partner and solo play was down in the south in the sub-tropical, humid a monsoon climate... this was the be all and end all of lubes. The king of lubes!

But all that changed when I came home to the north.

During solo play, I had to reapply three times in one fortyish minute session. And during sex it was actually worse. When we finished, it felt as if he was glued to me, and took some maneuvering to get us un-glued. Stop laughing and try to picture two people trying to shuffle to the bathroom trying to get water on their flesh trying not to pull apart because one of them is freaked out that knowing her luck? He'd end up tearing off skin. And anal sex was even worse.

I found Probe in the drier climates the after effects were not only gummy and sticky, but left little icky balls of congealed Probe along my labia that takes a lot of patience to clean myself of.

Bottom line. If you live in a dry climate, I'd not suggest this. But if you live in a climate that isn't dry... it might be the best thing for you.

And because of this I wanted to give it three stars. But, I am going to give it a five star rating. It works perfectly well, does all that it is intended to do, works wonders for anal and vaginal sex, and has plenty of benefits (my favourite doesn't alter my ph balance). It does deserve a five star rating.

I've actually found a pretty good use for the Probe. Ladies, you know sometimes there are those days when you are on your period and you are just really dry but still want to use a tampon? This is when I use Probe.

Fantastic second useage!!!!
