The 4 oz bottle of System JO Agape Original is the size couples tend to settle on once they know they like it. It's a water-based lubricant with a thin, silky glide and no scent, and JO left out glycerin, parabens, propylene glycol, silicone and oil, so the ingredient panel stays short and easy to read.
Two people using the same lube, plus a few toys in the drawer, go through a small bottle quickly. Four ounces covers weeks of regular use for most households without crowding the bedside table. Agape is also an easy choice when you share a bottle because nobody has to like a particular flavour, warmth or tingle. It's simply slippery and neutral, which suits partners who want different things from a lube.
It pours like a light serum rather than a jelly. JO compares the feel to natural lubrication, and in the hand it's slick without any of the drag or stickiness that glycerin can leave as it dries. A thin formula moves where you move it, so it covers a partner's hand, a condom or a toy shaft evenly. Use roughly a coin-sized amount to start and build up; on toys, coat the toy and add a little to yourself as well.
This is where a water-based lubricant earns its place. It's compatible with every common toy material, so you don't have to worry about silicone surfaces softening or turning gummy the way they can with a silicone lube. Vibrators, dildos, strokers and glass toys all work. Afterwards, rinse the toy with warm water and a mild soap or toy cleaner; Agape comes off without scrubbing.
The Original formula is the plain one. JO also sells Agape in sensation versions: Agape Cooling and Agape Warming for people who enjoy a temperature effect. Original is the one to keep for everyday use, and the one to choose if a partner finds tingles distracting or simply prefers nothing extra.
Being light, Agape won't last as long as silicone in water, so for bath or shower play a silicone lube is more practical. For anal play most people want something thicker with more cushion. And if you like a lube that stays put on the skin for massage, a gel or hybrid holds its place better. For everything else, Agape's thin, quiet glide is easy to live with.
Keep the cap snapped shut so the formula doesn't thicken at the neck, and store the bottle at room temperature away from a sunny windowsill or a hot car. Wipe the cap with a damp tissue now and then, since a thin lube can creep down the threads. There's an expiry date on the label; a 4 oz bottle used a few times a week will normally be finished well before it.
