Liquid Silk Lube 50ml (250ml)
When it comes to lubes I’m a bit of a fuddy-duddy, averse to change and scared of new things. I’ve had a lot of skin problems and have experienced too many rashes, burns and general nether-horrors thanks to lubes with unfavourable ingredients. So, despite pretty much every single person I’ve heard talk about such things ranking Liquid Silk as the foremost fornication facilitator, I have hummed and hawed and never actually gone for it. The size of this bottle - and the price! - makes it ideal for someone who, like me, is loathe to trust the hundreds of satisfied users and give it a lash.
The bottle is simple, small, and fairly self-explanatory: you pop the flip-lid, squidge out a dollop, and hope you don’t need any further instruction. It’s not immediately obvious it’s a lube so you could pop it in a handbag or on your nightstand as long as no one’s going to be inspecting your bits and bobs (unless they also intend to inspect your other bits and bobs!). Portable, discreet, and doesn’t leak. Can’t fault that!
The lube itself really does feel a lot different to most others I’ve tried. It’s almost like a face cream and feels kind of greasy-oily when you first squeeze it out, although it doesn’t leave you feeling like you’ve dropped a bat of butter between your thighs, which was my first concern. A little really does go a long way and it takes quite a while to dry up so avoid the temptation to think it’s thinner than it is, go nuts, and wind up having to take a mop to your nether regions!
I still prefer the silicone for anal, but this isn’t all that far off the same level of good, so a definite alternative for when silicone toys might be in the equation, or when my giant, leaky bottle of silicone won’t quite make the journey. There’s no real smell to it, and no sticky residue, which really are the two main failing of most lubes. At worst, a quick wipe after and you’re good to go.
I love it. It lasts so long and needs so little that the titchy bottle isn’t even nearly empty yet. Handy, as the last lube I latched onto no longer exists and my stash is just about depleted, so I’m glad I’ve found one that’s even better!
Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars
Pros: Long-lasting, doesn’t irritate me, and no horrid residue. Bottle’s nifty too.
Cons: Nothing, really. I hate not giving a negative but can’t find a thing.
Bottom Line: Perfect. There’s no downside to trying this, especially at this size and price!
