Lubes!

Hi All

My OH has just asked if we can find a lube which is not~:

1. Smelly, the "high street sex shop (A.S)" smells quite "chemically"

2. Messy... we put the lube on and it runs absolutely everywhere!

3. "Sticky"

Any ideas?

Durex feel is quite good, no smell or taste, doesnt get sticky like the others and is thick enough that it doesnt run - almost like a gel texture.

Its my fave "normal" lube for the above reasons and it doesnt dry out easily either :)
oh and its in a pump bottle which saves more mess!

Thanks :)

Although not directly answering this question you may want to check out these other threads on good lubes, lots of insights and opinions:

I would imagine that a chemical smell can come from lots of different ingredients, so quite difficult to know what to avoid ingredients wise. With messy, you probably want something thicker, more gel-like, so it doesn't run. Definitely avoid silicone-based lubes from this perspective as they are extremely liquid. Could test prospectives if you went into a physical shop and tilted bottles to see how they moved. Sticky is the easiest, pretty much just avoid anything with glycerin (related to sugar) in it.

Personally recommend Sliquid Sassy: few ingredients, tasteless, odorless, non-sticky, fairly thick formulation for anal sex, as well as fuffiling all the implied criteria (e.g. slippery, long-lasting) successfully. It is tricky otherwise to fuffil 2 and 3 as glycerin is usually included as the main thickening agent I believe.

Good luck!
