As you may imagine from the amount of sex toy reviews that are published here every week, sometimes a little helper is necessary in making sure things run as smoothly and comfortably as possible. I consider lube to be a necessity when it comes to sexual encounters, whether you’re with your partner or just playing solo with your favorite toy. It makes your entire experience a great deal more enjoyable for everyone involved and without it, you could wind up feeling sore or experiencing some mild discomfort because of how sensitive and fragile a woman’s intimate tissues are.
I have explored and tested a few different lubricants; not a ton, but I’m one of those people who when I find something I like, I tend to stick to it and not rock the boat too much. This is especially true when we’re talking about chemicals and ingredients that have the ability to irritate your skin if you don’t pay special attention to what is used in something you’ve decided to try. Fascinations recently gave me the opportunity to try out a new lubricant made specifically with a woman’s needs in mind.
Pink Water is a water-based lubricant that is glycerin free and is fortified with Aloe Vera, making it extremely gentle on your skin and it’s safe for those of you out there who have to worry about allergies and skin irritation.
The first thing you will notice about Pink Water is that it is not merely a ‘flip cap open and squeeze desired amount of lube onto your hand, fingers, penis, toy, etc.’ kind of lube. It has a very classy and just plain pretty bottle, which is plastic so it won’t break if it falls onto the floor, gets thrown into your bed table drawer or toy box, or if you have the undying urge to play catch and it’s the only thing around. There is a pale blue cover protecting where the lube is dispensed from which can easily be taken right off and when it is, you see that this lube has the best spout ever! Just by pumping the top of the bottle, a small portion of lube is dispensed. The lube does have a tendency to drip onto the bottle itself and dribbles a bit, but the excess lube can be easily wiped away.
One of the best things about Pink Water is that it doesn’t take a lot to get you sufficiently lubed up. Just two to three pumps of the dispenser will give you enough to last a while and a little goes a very long way. After a significant amount of time, I’d say around a half hour or so, it can become sticky but I think that has more to do with your natural fluids mixing with the lube itself. Pink Water is a highly concentrated formula, but washes off skin and sensitive areas very easily so you won’t be washing for what seems like forever wondering when this slick liquid will finally leave your body.
Since I received my bottle of Pink Water, I have not used any other lube; I haven’t even thought another type of lube I have would suit a specific need better because Pink Water does the trick for me every time. It is safe to use with all of my toys, even my lovely silicone toys, and it has been extremely gentle on my skin and body. The only thing that Pink Water failed to lube up sufficiently and comfortably was the recently-reviewed Taffy Tickler Water Buddy and well, after reading my review you will understand that nothing could make that a comfortable experience, so I’m not holding that against it.
I love my Pink Water, it is definitely something I would buy again and again and I think anyone out there in the market for some phenomenal lube should definitely give it a shot.
Thanks to Fascinations for giving me the opportunity to review Pink Water.
Lube can certainly make any sexual activity a whole lot more fun, whether it’s for intercourse, masturbation, or sex toy play… until the lube dries up, becomes sticky, and leaves you feeling very uncomfortable and completely turned off, asking yourself when it will be over so you can hop in the shower! Sadly, every lube I have ever tried has been like this. I have went through bottles of lube in record timing because of the amount of times I have to reapply it, leaving me with only being able to use lube moderately because if I didn’t, I’d be spending an excessive amount of money on tubes of lube that leave me feeling pretty disgusting afterward anyway.
While I have had pretty uncomfortable experiences with lube, that was all before I tried Sliquid Organics Silk lube. Admittedly, this is the first Sliquid product I have used, but I am super impresses; I absolutely love it.
Sliquid Organics Silk is water-based and also contains 12% hypoallergenic silicone which makes this lubricant creamy in texture, rather than what I call “gloopy,” as you have most likely noticed with almost all other brands of lubricant on the market. I have definitely put this lube to this test, using it for both vaginal and anal intercourse, as well as for masturbation and the first thing I noticed with it is that I never had to reapply; I applied it once and that was it, it stayed wet and comfortable for the entire duration. This made me ecstatic because like I said before, when using lube of any other brand I was reapplying several times.
In addition to its great lasting power, Sliquid Organics Silk is a great choice for delicate, sensitive issues. As a woman who frequently gets urinary tract infections for pretty much any reason, the morning after using this lube the first thing I thought was “Here’s hoping my vagina isn’t mad at me!” and luckily, it wasn’t. It also includes organic extracts like aloe vera, which is very soothing to the skin, vitamin E, and also invigorating green tea and hibiscus. And while it’s completely organic and body-friendly, it is also very Earth-friendly because once you get through the bottle, it is 100% recyclable!
When that fleshy, nothing taste has become a little too boring for you, now there’s Good Head edible gel with one purpose in mind–Giving good head with that extra boost.
After reading a great deal of completely varied reviews of Good Head gel, I decided that I had to try it for myself. I am a firm believer that when you introduce anything new to your bedroom, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, it does make an impact on your overall experience; especially if you have been with the same partner for a number of years. It is always a great idea to mix it up a little bit and Good Head gel seemed like it could be just what I was looking for; something small that I hoped would add a little more excitement and enjoyment to the experience of giving my man good head.
Overall, I was very impressed with Good Head edible gel. I tried it in the Mystical Mint flavor and while it does taste a little like toothpaste, pretty much anything with a thick, mint flavor is going to remind you of the taste of toothpaste. I would warn people trying it for the first time not to use too much because at first, I squeezed out a nice line down the shaft and the texture was way too gel-like in my mouth; I know what you’re thinking, ‘Hey genius, didn’t you read the name of this product?’ and while I did, I just happened to use a little too much at first, so be warned.
This gel isn’t just for the person giving good head, it is also for the one receiving. While I can only vouch for the mint flavor, my boyfriend said that he did receive a pleasant, tingly feeling that he loved.
Good Head gel definitely exceeded my expectations as well as my boyfriend’s and I highly recommend it for any couple looking to add that little something to going down.

Rocket Balm ($10) is a balm containing a mixture of oils, but the main oil used that you can feel within seconds wherever applied is the peppermint oil.
On a man, its main recommended use is to be applied on the head of the penis and frenulum. Within just seconds, this balm sends a cooling sensation to the body and heightens arousal. It can be used for masturbatory purposes and also for foreplay. What may come as a shock is that when the initial foreplay is over and a woman moves down to give oral sex, she is pleasantly surprised that the Rocket Balm is also stimulating her lips and mouth but not numbing them, which is a nice change from many massage oils that are on the market that tend to numb whatever it is applied to within a few seconds. Because a lot of women find that when they have a little more going on for them, they are happy to go down on a man for a longer amount of time, Rocket Balm works phenomenally for just that. When the oral is finished, you may move on to intercourse and the worst thing you could do at this point is wash the Rocket Balm off of yourself before having sex.
Rocket Balm, when used during sex, is a sensation no one should ever miss out on; male or female! Because of the internal rubbing going on, the balm intensifies and because it is stimulating you, an orgasm comes a lot sooner than expected. This can also be used and equally as effective during anal sex; the sensation is intense and downright wonderful. After just a month or so of using it I’m going to have to get another container soon because I cannot get enough of it.
