Sliquid Natural Satin Intimate Moisturizer (4.2oz)

Sliquid Naturals Satin is a water-based intimate moisturizer infused with aloe and carrageenan, made to be used every day as well as during sex. The 4.2 oz bottle is the middle size: enough to keep by the bed for regular use without committing to a large bottle. It suits anyone who wants a gentle, glycerin-free formula for daily comfort and a reliable lube in the same bottle.

Daily intimate moisturizer and lube in one

Most lubes are made for the moment and nothing else. Satin was Sliquid's first product designed for everyday use too. You can apply a small amount to the vulva or penis as a moisturizer for daily comfort, and use more during sex or masturbation as a lubricant. The texture is light and silky, blended to feel like the body's own natural slickness rather than thick or gloopy, and it doesn't leave a sticky residue as it dries.

What the aloe and carrageenan do

The key ingredients are carrageenan, a seaweed extract that gives the formula its smooth, slippery body, and aloe vera, which feels soothing on skin. Vitamin E, in the form of natural tocopherols, rounds out the blend. The base is purified water thickened with plant cellulose from cotton and guar conditioners, preserved with potassium sorbate and citric acid. That's the whole list.

Free from glycerin and parabens

Satin contains no glycerin, parabens, DEA or sulfates, and like every Sliquid product it's vegan and gluten-free. Glycerin-free matters to people who find sugary lubes leave them uncomfortable. Sliquid also describes it as hypoallergenic and non-toxic. If you have very sensitive skin, try a small amount on the inner arm first and wait a day.

How to use it

As a daily moisturizer, smooth a pea-sized amount over the external skin whenever you feel dry, for example after a shower. As a lube, apply more generously to the body, toy or condom, and reapply as needed, since water-based formulas can dry out during long sessions. A few drops of water will revive it. It rinses off with water and won't stain sheets, so there's no need to reach for a towel straight away afterwards.

Using Satin with a partner

Satin's light, natural feel makes it an easy shared lube: it isn't flavoured, scented or tingly, so it doesn't change the experience for either partner, it simply reduces friction. Warm a little between your fingers before applying it, add it during foreplay rather than waiting until you need it, and keep the bottle within reach. For anal play, a thicker gel is usually more comfortable, since Satin is on the lighter side.

Toys and condoms

Because it's water-based, Satin is safe with silicone toys, which silicone lube can damage, and with latex condoms. It's a good everyday lube to keep by the bed for both partnered and solo use.
