Holy Water Lube

For today's review, I'll be looking at Holy Water Lube by Divine Interventions. Click either of the images to see a larger version!

Close Up:

This is the third, and final, item of the divine trinity I was sent to review. This slippery water-based lube made both God's Immaculate Rod and the girthy Devil feel right at home quickly. I found this lube worked far better for internal play than external. When used externally, the lube got a little too tacky too quickly for me. If this happens you can add more lube to strengthen it, or use a little water to wake it back up. This is a rather thin lube, so I wouldn't recommend it for anal as you may want a little more cushion. For vaginal use, with toys and/or people, this lube worked wonderfully. It didn't become tacky when used internally due to vaginal moisture, and as it's a thin lube, it could easily make a lot of surface area slippery with just a little lubricant.

Holy Water Lube comes in a flip-top four ounce bottle, with a few cheeky phrases. This lube is rather light in scent and flavor, overall I didn't find it pleasant or unpleasant, the scent vaguely smelt like mixing a plant with baby powder. As a water-based lube, this will not stain clothes, and is safe on any sex toy material. It also works fine with latex, and is pure vegan. For safety this lube doesn't have any parabens or glycerine; though if you still have an allergic reaction, you should discontinue use.

Ingredients: Water, Propanediol (Natural Humectant), Cellulose Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Benzoic Acid, Phenethyl Alcohol, PPG-2 Methyl Ether, Methylisothiazolinone, Alcohol, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Extract, Sodium Hydroxide

This certainly isn't the best water-based lube on the market, but it is functional and in its adorable container would make for a fabulous gift. If you're already getting one of their toys it's definitely worth adding to your basket.

Sliquid Satin

For today's review I'll be looking at Satin by Sliquid



I only have two negative things to say about Satin: one- it doesn't come in a pump bottle (though that's easily fixed), and two- it isn't sold in larger volumes. That is all. Satin is by far my favorite lube, whether playing with myself, partners, or toys. It's a water based lubricant so it's silicone friendly and latex friendly. Satin also has Aloe Vera, giving it a cushier feel than most lubes. Satin has a bit of a taste, it's rather subdued though and I've only noticed it when tasting Satin alone, when on genitalia it's not recognizable. It has a scent, though only when smelling the entire bottle rather than a bit of lube, which I find reminiscent of soap. It can be used for anal, though I would go with an even thicker lube like Sassy or Maximus. I find Satin lasts longer than most water based lubricants, though certainly not as long as a silicone based lubricant. Since it is water based though, a little water itself can wake the lube right back up. When finished, one can either use soap and water to rinse off the lube, or rub it in as a moisturizer

Satin is actually designed for daily use for any vulva owner who has regular dryness due to menopause, medication, etc. Like all Sliquid products, Satin is paraben free and glycerine free, though if any irritation occurs, one should stop using it.

Satin is also vegan, and the ingredients are as follows: 

Purified Water, Plant Cellulose (from Cotton), Carrageenan, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera), Natural Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Cyamopsis (Guar Conditioners), Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid

Grade Breakdown: 98  

Value: 5/5 
At Eden Fantasys for just under $23
for 8.5 ounces 

Aesthetics: 19/20 
A simple container, though I like the blue.

Pleasure: 74/75 
Intended Functionality: 5/5
Keeps vulvas moist if experiencing dryness. 
Reusability: 19/20 

The flip top is rather annoying.
Best Functionality: 50/50 

It's a fantastic lube, and I like it best with my other toys.
