Looking for the perfect water-based lubricant? It’s lube week on Hello Saraid! I’ll compare 4 different water based lubricants to find the best one for everyone. Lube week is sponsored by the fabulous Tickle! This is the last post. I hope you’ve all found at least one you’re interested in.

It’s the last day of lube week and I’ve decided to do Pink Water.  I first heard of Pink Water when asking on Twitter about what the best water-based lube is.  Three different people told me Pink Water within 3 minutes of me posting the question, so I figured I should give it a shot.

Ingredients: Water, HEC, PEG 45, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Polyquaternium 5, Tetrasodium EDTA, Germall II, Sodium benzoate, Aspartame, Polysorbate 20, Aloe Vera extract, Ginseng extract, Guarana extract, Avena sativa extract, Sodium hydroxide, Propylene glycol.

It’s glycerin free, but still has parabens, so if you’re paraben sensitive this one isn’t for you.  It also has aloe and other extracts to soften skin while you use it.

Scent: Pink doesn’t have a detectable scent in the bottle.

Taste: Slightly bitter.  This is another one I would suggest not using if oral sex is on the menu.  Wait until after oral to use it or pick another one that is oral compatible like this one.

Lasting Time: Pink Water seems to last forever, which I’ve determined is probably from the parabens.  It’s not going to last quite as long as silicone, but almost.

Good for Anal? Probably not the best since it’s really thin.

Sticky Factor: No stickiness here!  Which is due to the lack of glycerin, so you don’t have to worry about sticking to your partner and making nasty tape-peeling noises.

Additional Information: While it’s not Sliquid, it’s definitely worth a try and it’s also quite a bit cheaper.  So if you’re on a budget, this one might work out well for you!

It’s the third day of lube week here on Hello Saraid.  Today we have another addition from System JO – System JO Flavored.  I opted for the Raspberry version since I figured raspberry flavoring should be easy to not mess up.  I mean, if they can master it for nasty things like fluoride, they should be able to do it for something way more awesome like lube.

Ingredients: Propyl paraben, Methyl paraben, Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, Glycerine, Purified Water, Natural and Artificial Raspberry Flavor

. . . Okay, so definitely not natural and it contains Glycerin, but I don’t really think this is a lube you would use everyday anyway.  If you want something you can use for sex and oral sex both without getting a nasty taste in your mouth this may be your answer.  However, if you’re sensitive to glycerin you may want to keep this away from your vagina.

Scent: It smells like raspberry, but the fake kind.

Taste: Same as the scent.  If you’re okay with artificial flavor (think raspberry candy or a raspberry snow cone) you should like this just fine.  If you apply a thin layer, the taste is not too overpowering.

Lasting Time: This lasts a decently long time, but not as much as the other two lubes I’ve reviewed in lube week so far.  I wouldn’t use this if you need something that’s going to last a long time.  However, for oral and other “light” activities, it’s perfect.

Good for Anal? Most definitely not.  It’s very thin and wouldn’t work well.

Stick Factor: Unfortunately, this one gets sticky.  Because glycerin is one of the first ingredients, it gets sticky quickly.  So as stating in the Lasting Time section, don’t use this if you need something that is going to last a long time.

Additional Information: System JO Flavored is most definitely a specialized lube, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good product.  If you’re looking for a good deal on a flavored lube, look no further.  Also, Tickle offers it in 12 flavors, and at $8 for 5.25 oz. it’s a great deal so you can try more than one flavor.

I’ve been looking for the perfect water-based lubricant for what seems like forever.  So I figured having a mini-lube week here on the blog would help others out there also looking for the perfect lube.  What’s the first lube in this series sponsored by Tickle?  System JO Agape for Women.

Since this is the first review, I’ll explain the breakdown.  Since I want to cover everything possible about the lube in a concise manner, I’m going to use the following categories: ingredients, scent, taste, lasting time, good for anal, sticky factor and additional information.

Ingredients: Methyl paraben, Propylene glycol, Propyl paraben, Sodium Carboxy methyl cellulose, and purified water.

As you can see, this lube is far from natural, but it also doesn’t contain glycerin, which is great for women who get yeast infections and UTIs easily.  If you have a paraben sensitivity this is not for you as there are two kinds of parabens used.  If you’ve taken too much chemistry class, you’re probably drawing those compounds in your head – I know I am.

Scent: Agape for Women has a very, very light medical scent.  I had to put my nose into the bottle opening to detect it, so it’s not too strong.  If you normally have a problem with the scents in lubes, you won’t have any problem with this one.

Taste: While I personally wouldn’t go eating the stuff because of the high amount of parabens, but even if you would you’ll want to keep this away from your mouth.  Upon tasting a small drop I found it to be extremely bitter and leave an odd taste in my mouth.  I had to go brush my teeth after tasting it for this review.  You’ll want to make sure you save using this lube until after any oral activities are done.

Lasting Time: Agape for Women has one of the best lasting times I have encountered in a water-based lubricant.  When testing it side by side with Sliquid Silver, Silver only outlasted Agape for Women by around 5 minutes.

Good for Anal? No, it is too thin to be used anally.

Sticky Factor: One of the best things about Agape for Women?  It doesn’t ever get sticky.  It dries up before it gets sticky, so you don’t have to worry about your Liberator throe or whatever else you lay/sit on sticking to you when you get up.

Additional Information: System JO makes a wide variety of lubes, almost all of which are carried by Tickle.  So if you don’t have luck with this one, don’t let it turn you off to the entire brand.  As mentioned before, if you have a paraben sensitivity, this one isn’t for you.  I would also suggest that even if you don’t have a reaction to parabens vaginally, don’t use this one anally.  The mucus membranes in the anal canal are far more sensitive than those in the vagina, so don’t risk it.
