Liquid Silk Lube
I tried Durex lubes before Liquid Silk, but found them to be a bit sticky and they left residue behind. I thought I’d try a new one, and having read the Liquid Silk reviews got a 50ml bottle to try. That was nearly three years ago, and I haven’t bought a different brand since!
Liquid Silk is odourless (which is a blessing; I don’t like scented/flavoured lubes) and mostly flavourless. The taste in large amounts isn’t great - but then it’s not a lube intended for that sort of use. I love how inconspicuous the bottles are (my partner’s mother thought it was a travel shampoo bottle!) and even in the 250ml size I have no qualms about keeping it on my bedside table. The colour is pleasantly reminiscent of cum, too It doesn’t leave any stickiness or residue, and any ‘left over’ wipes off easily. Plus, as Lovehoney says, it leaves your skin lovely and soft!
Most importantly: it works. I am lucky enough to have a partner who is very well endowed, and we very rarely have to reapply. Plus a very little goes a long way! You do have to be a little careful about the pump on the bottle; don’t hit it too hard or it has a tendency to shoot out.
I also love that Liquid Silk is bio-static. I know people who’ve had problems with yeast infections etc. after using lubricants, and I love that it’s something I don’t have to worry about with Liquid Silk.
Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars
Pros: Not sticky or tacky, no smell, leaves no residue, and a little goes far!
Cons: Doesn’t taste amazing, but in smallish amounts has no flavour at all.
Bottom Line: Excellent lube - the best I’ve ever used!
