While at Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas last week, I stopped by the Nasstoys suite and checked out their latest sex toy offerings. One of their recent developments was a new form of their famous FriXion™ lubricant. One of the most frequent complaints of lubricants is that they dry up to quickly, this is especially true of water-based lubricants. To help prolong the duration of the FriXion lubricant, Nasstoys has added a special form of silicone to their formula. Along with silicone, you can also find Aloe, Avena Sativa (wild oat extract), L-Arginine, Ginseng, and Yohimbe. Other then the Aloe and the silicone, the ingredients sound more like a sex pill then a lubricant. However the ingredients are exactly what the manufacturer hopes will separate this lubricant from the swarm of lubricants competing for your hard earned dollars. Many of the ingredients are associated with sexual dysfunction treatment - but most are intended for oral dosage with minimal data available on topical application. Yohimbe is associated with fat loss while L-Arginine is associated with quicker healing when topically applied. Do your research on the included ingredients before deciding if the product is right for you.
So how does FriXion Silicone perform? It is one slick lube. This product goes on smooth and it lasts. It also deals well with moisture for the hot-tub enthusiasts and those that work up a good sweat. It is ideal for external masturbation and massage; it allows for more ambitious maneuvers then the usual wrist-flick. It is also safe for use with toys and condoms. The manufacturer claimed during our talk that this product breaks down a little better internally then some other silicone based lubricants. I noticed that simple warm water by itself did little to dissipate the lubrication. Once I applied warm water and soap, it definitely helped remove most of the slick feeling. A quick dry with a hand towel helped remove any remaining lubricant.
If you are disappointed with performance of water-based lubricants and you need something that will last, FriXion Silicone should be on your list of products to try out. I am pleased with its performance and will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good external masturbation lubricant, massage lotion, or lubricant that will survive wet environments. I would not recommend that you use this lubricant prior to oral sex as it may coat the inside of your mouth with a bland taste that takes a while to dissipate. Remember, after you have had your fun – don’t be a fool and clean your tool. |
