Sliquid Silk Hybrid Lube – Test & Review

Sliquid are known for their colourful bottles and pretty designs. This bottle is no exception - the purple colour and clear writing makes it appealing to the eye and the transparent bottle, showing the white lube, is nice to look at. I have said it before, but the Sliquid bottles are slightly gender aimed more towards women. I wouldn't say it is the most gender neutral bottle or design, but I don't think that is a game changer, as the bottle design isn't a huge selling point for me, I always shop for the product inside. I wouldn't say it is the highest quality looking bottle, but then again the price tag also reflects that.

This lube has a pH reading of 5, showing that it is quite acidic. This is great for vulva owners, as it attempts to match a vulva's natural pH level, which is also acidic. Sliquid Silk also contains no parabens or glycerol, furthering how good it is for vulva owners - I love when there is a low chance of getting an infection! This doesn't mean that this lube wouldn't be good for penis owners, I think it would be a good match for everyone! This lube is also compatible with platinum cured silicone sex toys.

Lubes with silicone in them are typically more expensive than water based lubes, so I was expecting this hybrid lube to be quite expensive. It was the opposite! it is a very affordable lube - Some could say that it is an appropriate price as it is a small bottle. Based on it being a high quality product, I think this lube is reasonably priced, as well as most of the other Sliquid lubes. Sliquid advertise themselves as being natural and aimed toward women; a brand that is conscious about the ingredients that they use.

This lube is quite thick, and certainly seals a sex toy, even a large one! I would definitely recommend using this lube with a sex toy, even anal toys, as it is thick enough to be cushioning and comfortable. This hybrid lube contains some silicone, so you need to check if your hybrid lube is compatible with your sex toy - you can use this lube with metal, glass and platinum cured silicone sex toys. It is quite wet when first used on the skin, but I wouldn't say it is has the longest longevity without reapplication. If you don't mind re-applying your lube, then this would be great, but I don't like having to think about lube when I use it, so this was quite annoying for me.

I have expressed before and still hold the same opinion; I don't like the Sliquid bottles! In my opinion, they are too small and hard to squeeze, as they are made out of this plastic! When my hands have lube on them, I like a bottle that I can squeeze easily and not struggle with. With the Sliquid bottles, I have to use both hands to get a single drop out! It's a nightmare! I also love bottles that are larger because to me, it feels like I am getting more for my money!

Despite this lube not being translucent, it doesn't stain the bed sheets. If anything, it blended in with the white fabric! You can see I when it is on the skin, and in my opinion, it really put me off! Seeing it on my skin made me feel a little weird... I like translucent lubes I think!
