The ID Free Water Based Lubricant 0.42 Oz is the pocket edition of ID's glycerin-free formula: a 12 mL water-based lubricant small enough to vanish into a toiletry bag, a jacket pocket or the corner of a nightstand. It's the size to pick up when you want to find out whether a short, stripped-back ingredient list suits you before buying a full bottle, or when you need something compact for a trip.
ID's long-running Glide formula is built on glycerin and propylene glycol and preserved with parabens. ID Free removes all three. The ingredient list carried by retailers reads: water, propanediol, hydroxyethylcellulose, carbomer, PEG-45M, EDTA, tetrahydroxypropyl ethylenediamine, caprylhydroxamic acid and sucralose. There's no added fragrance or colour, and ID labels the formula hypoallergenic. If a lube has bothered you before, compare that list with the label of the one that caused trouble; a shared ingredient is a clue worth noting.
It comes out clear and unscented with a thin, natural feel rather than a thick gel. Because it's water-based, it slowly soaks in during a long session. When it starts to feel draggy, a few drops of water on the skin bring the slip back, so you don't have to keep adding more product. Afterwards it rinses off with plain water and doesn't leave marks on sheets.
Travel is the obvious one. At 12 mL it sits well inside the 100 mL per-container limit most airports apply to carry-on liquids, so it can travel in your clear toiletry bag without fuss. It also suits a gym bag, an overnight bag at a partner's place, or a purse where a full bottle would be awkward.
The other reason to buy it is as a trial. Lube is personal: some people love a slick, thin feel and others prefer more cushion. A small container lets you test ID Free on your own skin and with your own toys without being left with a large bottle you don't like. It's a sampler size, not a stock-up size, so plan to move to a bigger bottle if it becomes your everyday lube.
A water-based formula is the safe choice for silicone toys, and ID Free also works with glass, metal, hard plastic and rubber. It's compatible with latex condoms, and retailer listings also name dental dams. If you share toys of different materials between partners, one lube that suits all of them keeps things simple.
Keep it at room temperature and out of direct sun, such as a hot car dashboard or a sunny windowsill. Close the cap fully before it goes in a bag; a small container rolling around loose is the one most likely to leak onto a phone or charger.

Helpful answers about ID Free Water Based Lubricant 0.42 Oz.
At 12 mL it is well under the 100 mL per-container limit most airports use for carry-on liquids. Pack it in your clear liquids bag with your other toiletries. Rules are set by each airport and airline, so check before an unusual route.
Yes. It's water-based, so it won't react with silicone the way some silicone lubes can. It's also fine on glass, metal, rubber and hard plastic toys, which makes it an easy single lube for a mixed toy drawer.
Yes, both are left out. It does contain other ingredients, including propanediol, the preservative caprylhydroxamic acid and the sweetener sucralose. If you react easily, try a small amount on the inside of your forearm first and wait a day before wider use.
Glide uses glycerin, propylene glycol and paraben preservatives; Free leaves those out. Both are thin, water-based and toy-friendly. Choose Free if you are avoiding glycerin or parabens, and Glide if you simply want ID's standard water-based formula.
Yes. It's compatible with latex condoms, and retailers list it for use with dental dams too. Water-based lubes are the usual pick for barrier protection because oils can weaken latex.
Add a few drops of water rather than more lube once it starts to feel tacky. The water rewets what's already on the skin. That matters more with a 12 mL container, where every squeeze counts.
It's non-staining and rinses out with water. Wash bedding as usual afterwards; there's no oil or silicone in the formula to leave greasy marks, so a quick blot with a damp cloth handles any drips.
