This is an archived review of a discontinued product.
You’ve probably tried Wet Naturals. I say this with confidence because sex toy retailers like PinkCherry frequently send sample packets with your order. In fact, I have a few random flavored straggles in my nightstand. In fact, it was a packet of the silicone-based version that ruined my Spur. Third-world problems.
I’m not overly fond of the packets. They’re not super easy to use, and I can never get the right amount of product, so I was glad to try a full-sized bottle when the opportunity to work with Wet arose.
Let me preface this by saying I enjoyed the Beautifully Bare lube when I first used it. It was an interesting experience. My toys felt lubricated, but I couldn’t necessarily feel the lubrication. It was the most natural feeling lube I’d used. However, I just didn’t love it as much the second time around. I think it’s because it’s a thinner lube, and it winds up running down my toys and hands, making a mess. I’ve definitely come to like slightly thicker lubes better for playing with toys. When you consider that all my play involves toys these days, you can see how this would affect how I feel about this lube.
Although thin, it feels pretty slick at first. Unfortunately, it dries up right quick with a little friction. I don’t need a necessarily super long-lasting lube, but this will be a dealbreaker for some. There are longer-lasting water-based lubes, and, of course, silicone-based lubes will last much longer. The company does make a silicone-based variant in the Wet Naturals line, which has just five ingredients.
On the other hand, if you like a light lube, this one might do the trick. It’s compatible with all types of play and toy materials. It has no odors or colors, and the push-top bottle is easy to use, with a little indentation on the side, which makes it easier to hold. The embossed “Wet” logo adds to that, even if your hand is full of runny lube.
The ingredients list doesn’t include any sugars or parabens, but Wet Naturals does have a lot of natural extracts, including grape seed extract and aloe vera. Wet Naturals is also slightly cheaper from most retailers than other organic or sensitive lubes, so this might be a good alternative if you’re into that.
Compared to some of the other natural or organic lubes I’ve used, I like this a bit better. This is mostly because it’s truly tasteless and odorless and has no funky color. It’ll more than do in a pinch, but it’s not my favorite lube either.
