Vaseline, spit, baby oil, cooking oil … how many of these things have you used for substitute lube?

How many other odd things have you used or know of someone using when in desperate need for lube?

It tickles me to think that in desperation to get one’s rocks off we resort to these kinds of things and shove them in our inner orrifices without thinking about what we are doing.

Lube is great. Lube can help you have a drawn out session of hawt sex. It’s great for solo play and an absolute must for buttsex. Unless you have some sadistic bastard shoving his cock in your butt with no lube because he thinks it would be fun … well then you’re fucked. Literally.

Problem is there are so many freekin lubes on the market how do you choose the right one?!?!

Virtually all lubes on the market fall into 3 main categories… water based, silicone based and oil based.  So what the hell do you use?

Water Based – Their main feature is that they are water soluble so skin and mucous membranes will absorb them. Clean up is a breeze, a little warm water and it washes right off. You might have to add a little during a session but hell that’s not a major. The great thing is they are condom safe, safe for use with toys but they contain glycerin which can promote yeast infections in women pretty easily. They also are not useful if you are in the bath or shower and want lube lol as it washes right off.

Silicone Based – These are similar to water based lubes but are generally much greasier and last much longer and have a thinner texture. One popular one would be Gun Oil. They take ages to dry out which means one application is pretty much all you need. And you can use them in water. They are not however as easy to clean up like water based lubes. Basically using a silicone based lube feels like slathering motor oil on your bits. You also cannot use silicone lube on a silicone toy, if you do you will literally kill your toy.

Oil Based – Ick. You shouldn’t use them. Period. They corrode latex, so totally not condom safe, they are bad for vaginal health in a variety of ways so usuing baby oil, vaseline, cooking oil …. seriously, don’t.

As much as I like my silicone lube it’s not versatile like a water based one and I can’t use it with all of my toys plus on days where I need a quickie it’s a pain to clean up. Eden Fantasys has teamed up with a company called  Sliquid who manufacture an amazing range of lubes and I got to request one I was curious about and wanted to share with you peeples. I don’t know about you but I like to know what I put in my body and when it comes to lubes and I rather picky as to what I use.

The beauty of the Sliquid Organics Gel is it doesn’t contain any glycerin or parabens. Yaaaaaay.
It’s 100% vegan friendly and certified organic which is kinda freekin cool and the packaging? The label is beautiful and it reminds me of the herbal bottles I used to buy from my naturopath. Most hippie tree hugger friendly bottles and labelling. And the best thing? Totally recyclable.

Actually even better it’s NOT tested on animals.

It has a little press top lid and a couple of times I left it open and the bottle on it’s side and it didn’t spill out. For clumsy clots like me thats a good bonus. The gel looks a little like hair geland you have to squeeze the bottle a little to get it out. The gel itself however isn’t gross like hair gel, actually rubbing it into my hands as a test I couldn’t smell anything and it absorbed really well and left no stickiness or residue, you can smell a slight herby smell if you stick your nose in the bottle. I can however taste a slight herbal tinge to it and it’s not something I’d wanna put in my mouth so if you are thinking this may be okay for a blow job … think again, actually if you are a strange one and like weird stuff in your mouth you might like it. Lol. (5 minutes later I still have a gross taste on my tongue and had to go wash it off)

Ingredients. So what’s in this fantastic wee beauty? Purified water, plant cellulose (which replaces the glycerin base most use), aloe, extracts of hibiscus, flax, green tea and sunflower seed.

Using it? No problems it was easy to use, lasted well and if needed you can add a little water to help stop it from drying out if you are going for a marathon session. Easy to wash off toys and bodies. Buttsex? Hmmm I think I would be inclined to use a silicone lube over this but it still works okay. Masturbating … guys I would be inclined to tell look further as mucking about with this it got sticky with it between my hands squishing up and down lol, my friend told me off and said it looked disgusting and looked like cum. Lol. One has to have fun doing all sorts of things to these review products don’t they?!?!?! *beam*

So what does Impy think of this product? I fucking love it. Sliquid is the safest and most female and earth friendly natural organic personal lubricant I have found. It’s nice to have the option to be able to choose a natural, body safe lube that works well and it just a breeze to use. And this company won the O Awards this year for the category: Outstanding Lube, Lotion or Potion, they were nominated alongside Ride Razor, Kama Sutra, Pjur, Dr Love, KY, LovRub, Pink, Swiss Navy, and System Jo. So that’s saying something.

A big thanks to Eden Fantasys for letting me try this out and if you are curious they have a wide range of Sliquid lubricants to choose from so go be nosey!

This fantastical slippery stuff gets an impy 4/5 cause it didn’t pass the impy buttsex rules. But it still rawks.
