Once the water evaporates during use with most water based lubricants, your left with a sticky or tacky feeling on the skin. Liquid Silk was the first water based lubricant to solve this problem. In consistency and feel, Liquid Silk seems more like a moisturizing lotion, only it stays on the surface of the skin longer, making it a great lubricant for sex play. But when it dries up it doesn’t leave any tacky feel.
It also has a wonderful creamy consistency that is right in the middle of most other lubricants (not too thin, not too thick). Anecdotally I’ve heard from many professionals that Liquid Silk is a good stand in for male ejaculate on film. The main drawback is that it has a distinctly bitter taste.
Liquid Silk is glyercin-free, so a good choice if you’re prone to yeast infections. But it does contain parabens, which have been identified as a potential concern for reaction.
Liquid Silk does contain one of the main ingredients found in silicone based lubricants, dimethicone. There is some debate about whether this makes Liquid Silk safe to use with silicone sex toys. I haven’t found Liquid Silk to damage the silicone sex toys I’ve seen it tested on, but if you’ve got a much loved silicone toy, you might want to keep the Liquid Silk off it, or use a condom.
