My Take On Astroglide Versus V Products

My Take On Astroglide Versus V Products

By:


The question never occurred to me. Is there a difference between one name brand personal lubricant and another? In fact didn"t give personal lubricants much thought until recently. Over the past several years I have found the occasional need to use a personal lubricant , but I never read any reviews and frankly never thought much about how one lubricant might be better than another. I didn't have a lot of personal experience and so I thought there wasn't a difference between the brands. That initial reviews couldn't have been further from the truth. The reality is, there is a big difference in performance and quality between the various personal lubricants. I have purchased a few personal lubricants at stores, but never online. People that can plan ahead and either know they have a need that is a few days off or already have a supply but notice it's getting low in time can get their personal lubricant products from a number of online stores. Plus the reviews online come in handy. Of course, I never paid attention to the reviews. Online purchase is a good idea when you can plan ahead because it usually saves money. But this is supposed to be about my reviews of the Astroglide water based personal lubricant and V Products water based personal lubricant. So I will get back to that subject.

If you do read the reviews, it will be very obvious that a silicon based lubricant is a better choice for sexual activity that is limited to skin-to-skin contact. But, as I mentioned, I didn't really pay attention to the reviews. So when I went into the store, I looked more for the price in a name that I knew rather than the specific ingredients. The price on the silicon-based lubricants were much higher, so I didn't even consider buying them. So, I purchased the Astroglide water based lubricant.

Everything seemed good to me. There was a less than desirable natural lubrication and the Astroglide seemed to full the gap. We had to put a little extra on in order for it to stay comfortable, but we thought that's the way these things worked.

It was only after a friend told me about V, a newer company with a premium product line, that I gave the subject any thought. V Personal Lubricants is a company out of California with what they say is the best ingredients and the best formulation. Again, I didn't read the reviews, but on a recommendation of a friend, I decided to give it a try. Wow, was I surprised. All those years of turning a blind eye to the premium brands and I was missing out on a better experience. The biggest thing I noticed was the V water based lubricant didn't dry out. We didn't need to apply more and more to complete the task at hand. That made a big difference because I wasn't distracted by the need to keep handling something that wasn't my partner.

After that experience I went back and read some reviews. That's when I learned about glycerin and parabens. The reviews explained that V Products uses pure vegetable-based pharmaceutical grade glycerin and no parabens. Artroglide also uses glycerin but parabens are used. The issue there is that parabens are known to cause skin issues for some people and there are still questions about it's possible link to breast cancer. The way I read the reviews, the V Products lineup is the way to go. But, for me, it really comes back to the practical side. I like the fact that the V water based lubricant lasts longer, doesn't get sticky and feels great. The good news is that you can get V from a lot of local stores and online at their web site.
