Guide Review - Astroglide Water Based Lubricant
Astroglide is one of the best selling lubricants on the market. It was one of the earliest water based lubricants formulated specifically for sex play and as a result it’s slick and long lasting, and sex toy and condom compatible.
The consistency of Astroglide is very thin, almost like water, which is something some people like but may be less practical for things like use with sex toys and for anal sex. Customers either tend to really like or dislike Astroglide’s sweet taste. The original Astroglide, which is still available contains both glycerin and parabens, making it something that people prone to yeast infections and chemical sensitivities may want to avoid. The good news is that they have finally made a new formulation which is glyercin-free and paraben-free.
