Does The Job.. .Eventually

It does provide very good lubrication however it provides lubrication for about a minute then needs to be reactivated. I had to use half of this bottle on the first use so will be trying other products for longer active periods. If you are going to purchase this buy lots of it one bottle is not enough.

Bedroom Staple - Pasante Light Lube

This cheap and cheerful lube was exactly what I was expecting. Cheap and cheerful. It comes in a simple push down top dispenser which opens easily by twisting the cap and closes by twisting in the opposite direction. Annoyingly the packaging isn't perfectly designed, once opened the plastic sleeve slides up and over the lid when you try to push the lid because it's not secured to the bottle but on the plus side it's easy to disguise or reuse your lube bottle by removing the plastic all together.

It's a reasonable quality lube - neither the best nor the worst I've ever tried. It's water based, long lasting and easy to reactivate with a few drops of water. It absorbs well into the skin so no stickiness left behind but you do need more than I've found you need with other lubes to "coat" the area you want to coat. It took 4 or 5 pumps, when normally 2 or 3 is enough - either not enough is dispensed per pump or it doesn't go as far as pricier lubes.

The lube claims to be odourless and tasteless but to me it smells and tastes rubbery - like condoms. It's only a mild hint of rubber scent and taste but it's certainly not odourless or tasteless.

You don't get loads of the lube but it does last a while before requiring "reactivation" and it is a bargain so nothing to complain about. It's condom safe and completely colourless. It's smooth and silky but not quite as slick as some of the more expensive lubes but certainly slick enough for daily use.

A great beginner's lube in clean and discreet packaging and a must have "back up" for when you run out of the luxury stuff! Everything you require from a lube.

It works

For the price we weren’t expecting anything special at all from this. Although compared to other lubes available you do get more for your money (75ml compared to 30ml/50ml), which is a plus. The bottle is a good quality pump action, simple twist to open and twist to lock again. This allows a more targeted application and means you don’t get it all over the place.

One issue we have had with this bottle, though, as mentioned by others, is that the label slides up off the bottle when you press down on the pump. This is only made worse by slippery hands and isn’t what you need for a quick top-up mid-session. This could easily be solved by fixing the label to the bottle, it’d be much easier to use.

The actual lubricant itself is a good quality, not the best we have used so far, but it works. It lasts for quite a long time, although you do need to apply quite a few ‘squirts’ which outweighs the extra you get for your money. It’s water based and dries in to skin no problem, no stickiness or strong odour like some others. As a normal lube (not flavoured) you don’t expect nice taste and you certainly don’t get it. I’d avoid using this lube for oral as it’s not a nice taste. The flavoured variant of this lube though is quite tasty, so do try it.

Overall, it's not amazing quality but it does its job. Admittedly it could be easier to use in the heat of the moment, but for the price you can’t complain.
