To help you decide what to get before you shop, we researched (and tested) several lubricants. Here's what we found…

 Booty Parlor's Lubricant

BOOTY PARLOR'S LUBRICANT


What the packaging says:
'Add magic'

What we thought: Add magic? It sure did. Not only did this lubricant smell as good as it looked, but we were pleased with the results. It wasn't too runny, not was it too sticky or too scented. It was just right. It also has great packaging and an efficient (not to mention clean) nozzle that made it very easy to use.

OVERALL LUBE RATING: A


ASTROGLIDE NATURAL

What the packaging says: 'Real pleasure lasts longer... naturally'

What we thought: We're not sure what that package slogan means. All we know is that this product is an all-natural personal lubricant. Regardless of the plain packaging with lack of immense sexual detail, we were pleasantly surprised. (Come to think of it, we kind of like that the packaging wasn't overly cheesy like the others. Makes it a little less embarrassing to buy.)

OVERALL LUBE RATING: A-

LifeStyles Natural Desire

LIFESTYLES NATURAL DESIRE

What the packaging says: 'Formulated using safe, natural ingredients with no harsh additives'

What we thought: This lube gets our award for being the most discreet. At first glance, it looks like facial moisturizer. Had the words 'personal lubricant" not have been visible on the bottle, we wouldn't know its purpose. As far as performance goes, we were pleased. This product might not look like lube from the outside, but it sure fits the bill. It was probably one of the best products we tested.

OVERALL LUBE RATING: A+
