Eros is one of the oldest silicone based lubricants made specifically for sex play. It has a very “lush” feeling to it. While the consistency is very thin it feels smooth and slick, not watery at all. When it is applied it almost feels like it is coating the skin, and it makes everything glide. This feeling may not be for everyone, and if you are used to a water based lubricant you might not like it at first (or you might not like it at all).
The manufacturer claims that silicone lubricants don’t absorb in the skin and are less likely to cause any sort of contact reaction than water based lubricants. In addition to this, Eros is glycerin-free and paraben-free, making it a safer choice for those prone to yeast infections and reactions to chemical preservatives.
Never use Eros or any silicone based lubricant with silicone sex toys as they will destroy them. Some people who prefer the feel of water based lubricant but like the long lasting quality of silicone lubricants mix a little Eros in with their water based lube. This works well, but it means you can’t use that mixture with your silicone sex toys.
Eros is good for a variety of other uses:
- Great for an oil free body massage
- It can be used to shine latex and rubber clothing
- It can be used as a skin moisturizer
