How Clean is Your Lube?

I’m pretty particular when it comes to lubricants. I used to use a lot of flavored ones until I found I had an allergy. Now I look for ones that are unflavored or have no taste, and steer clear of the multitude that have aspartame, which is, surprisingly, a common ingredient in many lubricants. I prefer my lubes water-based, as the majority of my toys are silicone. A long lasting lubricant is also a plus. While I do have my favorites, I’m always up to trying something new that meets those specifications, so I was happy to try Good Clean Love from Good Vibrations and see how it measured up.

The tube is white and lime green (lighter than these pictures), with white lettering on the front and black text on the back. It’s fairly discreet, and has a nice fresh look.

This lubricant comes in two varieties: Almost Naked and Lavender Rose. I’m not partial to lavender so I chose to try Almost Naked. It’s not unscented, but the scent is very light and slightly citrusy. It’s virtually taste-free, but it does have a slight citrus note that’s clean and not unpleasant.

Good Clean Love is made by Good Clean Love, Inc. They are a member of the Organic Trade Association, and this lube contains 95% organic ingredients. It has no petrochemicals or parabens and is 100% vegan. Since it’s water based, it’s safe for use with latex and toys. Good Clean Love contains deionized water, xanthan gum, agar, organic aloe barbendensis leaf juice, natural extractives of lemon and vanilla bean, potassium sorbate, and benzoic acid.

Unlike a lot of lubricants I’ve used, Good Clean Love is thick like a gel. When dispensed onto your finger, it doesn’t run or drip. It isn’t greasy or sticky even when it dries out and doesn’t stain. It lasts a fairly long time and can be reactivated with a little bit of water or saliva.

So, Did It Work?  I liked this lubricant.  I found it great for vaginal sex, regardless of whether my partner or a toy was penetrating me. A dollop was plenty to get my toys or my partner slick.

I loved how it was thick coming out of the bottle, yet not clumpy or thick when applied.   Even though Almost Naked had a slight scent and taste, it was fresh and not very noticeable at all.

Almost Naked wasn’t bad for anal sex.  While it’s not as thick or long lasting as some of the anal lubes I use, it kept things pretty slippery.  We had to reapply it more during anal sex than vaginal, though, and this will be a lube we use more for vaginal penetration than anything else.
