Review of the V Products and Astroglide Water Based Personal Lubricants

Review of the V Products and Astroglide Water Based Personal Lubricants

The question never occurred to me. Is there a difference between one name brand personal lubricant and another? In fact didn't give personal lubricants much thought until recently. Using a personal lubricant is not something I do a lot, but there has been a desire to use one from time to time, but I never read any reviews and frankly never thought much about how one lubricant might be better than another. I figured it was all the same and no personal lubricant had any advantage over the others. That initial reviews couldn't have been further from the truth. What I didn't realize, but now do, is the difference in quality and the actual experience of using one personal lubricant vs. another can vary widely. I have purchased a few personal lubricants at stores, but never online. If you have not already run out of your personal lubricant or don't have a need right away so you can wait a few days, it might make sense to take advantage of the online store in order to save some money. Plus the reviews online come in handy. Of course, I never paid attention to the reviews. Online purchase is a good idea when you can plan ahead because it usually saves money. But this is supposed to be about my reviews of the Astroglide water based personal lubricant and V Products water based personal lubricant. Since that's the subject of this article, I will continue with that story.

If you do read the reviews, you will likely see for the best skin-to-skin contact while using a lubricant, the choice would be silicon based. But, as I mentioned, I didn't really pay attention to the reviews. The ingredients were not on my mind, just the price, as I looked at the lubricants in the store the first time I went in. The price on the silicon-based lubricants were much higher, so I didn't even consider buying them. So, I purchased the Astroglide water based lubricant.

I thought it was fine. It seemed to do the job of added to the pleasure when the natural lubrication was less than adequate. Every once in a while we added more because it would get a little sticky but we were fine with that, not knowing there was a better option.

I would have gone on this way indefinitely had it not been for a friend that pointed out a company called V that had recently entered the marketplace. V Personal Lubricants is a company out of California with what they say is the best ingredients and the best formulation. Again, I didn't read the reviews, but on a recommendation of a friend, I decided to give it a try. Wow, was I surprised. All those years of turning a blind eye to the premium brands and I was missing out on a better experience. The biggest thing I noticed was the V water based lubricant didn't dry out. We didn't need to apply more and more to complete the task at hand. That made a big difference because I wasn't distracted by the need to keep handling something that wasn't my partner.

With the different experience, there had to be a reason so I decided to do some investigating. I found out about parabens, glycerin and a lot of other ingredient differences. The reviews explained that V Products uses pure vegetable-based pharmaceutical grade glycerin and no parabens. Artroglide also uses glycerin but parabens are used. The issue there is that parabens are known to cause skin issues for some people and there are still questions about it's possible link to breast cancer. The way I read the reviews, the V Products lineup is the way to go. But, for me, it really comes back to the practical side. I like the fact that the V water based lubricant lasts longer, doesn't get sticky and feels great. If you're not in a big hurry, V offers free shipping for orders online or you can get it at a growing number of retail outlets.
