And my
personal favorite:
aloe vera.
Positive factors include
- ease of use
- slipperiness
- soothing aftereffect
Aloe vera is usually packaged in either a
plant (not easy to use at all) or a
squeezeable container. In the
latter case, uncap, squeeze out a healthy
dollop, and
smear on area to be
lubricated.
When at room temperature (or chilled...refrigerate and use during the summer for an exciting surprise) it is almost frictionless, and viscous enough to allow quite a bit of frisky action before reapplication is necessary.
As anyone who's felt the results of aloe vera on a sunburn knows, it is marvelously soothing on irritated skin. Lube is used to soothe and prevent irritated skin. You do the math.
Negative factors include
- scent
- flavor
Aloe vera has a
distinctive scent of
leafy,
plantlike
odor. It may not be the
romantic fragrance your
lover wants
spread over his or her
tender parts.
It's not the tastiest stuff. In fact, it may be bad to ingest...I've never checked. Wash all coated surfaces before licking.
