My Verdict

If you are looking for the perfect lube for anal adventures X - Lube is the answer. I stumbled on X-Lube just over a year ago, and have never looked back or thought of anything else since. I have a daily anal stretching routine for therapudic reasons, that of course has its pleasurable benifits- thus I go through a lot of lube. Economically, X-Lube makes the most sense, but I stay with it because it performs so well; better than anything else I've tried.

Buy, if you...

  1. Use copious amounts of lube
  2. Insist on safe water based lube
  3. Want the perfect lube for silicon toys
  4. Like super slippery lube that's easy to clean

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Prefer oil based lubes
  2. Prefer silicon based lubes

About The XLube

This is a super simple lube designed to be very slippery and sticky / stringy. X-Lube is a powder that needs to be mixed with water in an easy specific manner to be most effective. Just a tiny little bit goes a very long way. If it starts to dry out, simply add a bit of water and resume ice skating on the sheets. X-Lube is an inert formulation; free of sugars, salts and preservatives. It contains no fillers, dispersing or bulking agents - leaving no bad taste or smell.

Pros

  • Super slick
  • Super stringy
  • Lasts a long long time
  • Super easy to prepare and use
  • Cleans up super well with just water
  • Perfect for all types of toys

Cons

  • Requires preparation
  • Is not silicone or oil based
  • Dispensing bottle required for product

Personal Experience

My Personal Experiences with XLube

Personal Experiece

I’ve had a wonderful year of personal experience with X-Lube, and I highly recomend it to everyone. The directions are specific on ratio of water to powder and mixing via shaking. I did lots of experimenting and found the recommended directions the best fit. More powder is not always better, there is such a thing as too thick to be comfortably usable.

Dispensing

X-Lube is exceptionaly vicsous and stringy thus it is best to dispense from a sports bottle, with a top, that slides open and shut. I tried a bottle with pump dispenser and had disappointing results because the lube siphons itself back into the bottle. A screw on lid would also work, but difficult when your hands are super slick. The first time I poured X-Lube from my bottle into a syringe, it was funny to watch the lube siphon back into the bottle on its own. The effective way to stop siphoning is to quickly cut the lube string with a lid. Check out the video and watch it siphon!

Safe for internal use

I use X-Lube for deep insertions of 21 inches depth and/or 3 inches diameter. It works the best for all internal play and is exceptional for external stimulation. I have never noticed a problem from any amount of X-Lube that remained in my body after play.

Design

XLube Design

It has been designed as a fine white powder less course than sugar or salt, but not as powdery as flour, so that it mixes easily with warm water. I will fill my 16oz bottle with 14oz of warm water, add two cap fulls of X-Lube powder, shake side to side for 20 seconds, then let rest for 10 minutes. After resting, I will add the last 2oz of water, then shake side to side for 20 seconds again, and let stand about 2 hours before use. Directions state it should be used up in less than 14 days, I use a bottle in 7 -8 days on average. Too much powder to water ratio will result in a slickness thicker than jello and is difficult to pour or apply.

Ease of Use

XLube Ease of Use

X-Lube is so very easy to prepare and to use. Ok, there is a bit of planning and prep work, but its so easy and worth it for the quality of lube that you get. Clean up is super easy- just water. I remember spilling silicone lube on the shower floor in my early days, and yes, I was punished with the clean up. X-Lube just requires lots of water for clean up- that is all. I use X-Lube in the shower everyday because it works great in the wet environment. I have never had a bad mishap with X-Lube, just toys slipping out of my hands or the shower floor becoming an ice rink (fun?).

Quality

XLube Quality

X-Lube in my opinion, is the best quality lube money can buy! Consistency between batches and bottles removes any guess work of performance. I always know how each new bottle made will perform. I use copious amounts for internal anal stimulation and training- I have never noticed an adverse reaction and never even felt the need to rinse out after play.

Price

XLube Price

X-Lube has proven to be inexpensive in the long term. A little bottle of this powder seems a bit steep at first, but each one lasts months and make gallons of lube. My former favorite choice was half the price, but would only lat 4 to 5 weeks, I'm not sure how many months X-Lube lasts me. Frankly, if the price went up, I'd still happily buy X-Lube, it is just that good!

Performance

XLube Performance

The performance of X-Lube is phenominal. I believe the claims to be 100% accurate: "Makes up to 20 liters" and "To provide you with the best lubrication for anal and vaginal intercourse, the best cushioning lube gel for play with toys, pegging and fisting, we manufacture our lube free from any additives, methyl-parabens, chlorhexidine or any other harsh ingredients such as sugars or salts. It is certified as non-cytotoxic according to ISO10993-5 and therefore offers a real alternative to high-in-sugars, preservative-rich common lubricants. XLube is the purest and best performing lube gel possible for all kinds of sex - from mild to wild. XLube is safe on delicate skin tissue as it protects from dehydration and damage." I LOVE X-LUBE!!!

Packaging

XLube Packaging

Packaging is just a super simple, smallish plastic bottle with a screw on lid used for measuring. The lid seals nicely to prevent humidity contamination. The front label is stylish while the back label has mixing directions and a QR code for access to the website with video directions. X-Lube is so simple it just doesn't make sense.

Materials and care

I began using Toys as part of a holistic approach to treating physical dysfunctions. Urethral stretching and sounds,  Anal stretching, and now into colon training. My experimentation is a result of finding treatments for things that doctors only wanted to give me prescriptions for or to cut me open. Of course along the way I also realized the orgasmic benefits of Toys, and to this end I’m delving into the pleasure aspects and toy types. I am a life long DIYer and I enjoy hours of research when trying anything new. I was forced to overcome shame to truly begin healing my body and mind. Now I want nothing more than to shout from the rooftops my discoveries and continue to explore. I like teaching others that are of a mind to learn. Likewise it’s so much fun to try and learn new things. Perhaps I’m a bit a masochistic at times, but it’s about feeling physically and emotionally, things that bring relief and pleasure.
