After many years of using water-based lubes, I decided to surprise my wife the Pjur silicone lube. It is amazing! My wife immediately noticed that it’s so smooth it feels like you’re gliding during sex. And as most reviewers have mentioned, it does not become sticky like Astroglide or other water-based lubes. The pump is definitely the way to go; one push and you have the perfect amount. But beware; the bottle will get slippery after its first use! The water-based lubes are great for toys since they’re much less expensive. However for pure sex, you can’t beat the Pjur. We haven’t tried it for backdoor use or in the hot tub yet, but I’m sure that the Pjur will be great!
