Almost Naked

Best lube ever!

I decided to try this out to use with my menstrual disc—the brand I had been using (specifically for reusable cups/discs) works really well but it was getting really expensive, since my cycle is stupid long & problematic due to a medical issue. (Yes, I’ve seen my doctor.) Good Clean Love Almost Naked seemed to be pretty much what I was looking for (limited ingredient list, no glycerin, more of a gel than a liquid, and a reasonable price). I don’t need vanilla flavor, but I thought it would be worth a try anyway. I am *so* happy this stuff stays put. Like I said, my use probably isn’t the usual primary use, but trying to get a menstrual cup or disc to stay pinched when the lubricant’s running under your fingers is pretty much impossible. If you’re looking for a water-based lubricant that doesn’t instantly take on a mind of its own, this one meets that criteria. So far I’ve had no urinary tract or yeast issues. Occasionally I feel a slight sting, but it goes away within seconds and doesn’t happen all the time. I have dryness due to another medical condition that sometimes gets worse unexpectedly, so if I’m not on top of that, that’s when the stinging is more likely to occur. Most importantly, this lubricant doesn’t cause that bits of glass feeling that I’ve had with some other water-based lubricants. I have a history of sensitivities and overall my-body-hates-everything, so I’m glad this is working out so far. Like I said, my menstrual disc doesn’t require vanilla flavor/scent, but the scent isn’t terribly pervasive/noticeable. Out of curiosity I tasted a small amount. It’s vanilla, but also not a sugary sweet vanilla, so do with that what you will. (If they ever come out with an unscented/unflavored version, I’ll probably jump ship to that one unless the ingredients are wildly different.) Overall: I think this is worth a shot if you’re looking for a lubricant that can stay put, or for a menstrual cup/disc. I haven’t found one yet that people haven’t had a bad reaction to, so YMMV. But for me, I just reordered the two-pack so I can suffer through shark week without having to worry about that part of it at least for probably close to a year.

Very gentle and natural lubricant. I bought it because I had dryness after giving birth, and this product felt comfortable and didn’t cause any irritation. It’s not sticky, has no strong smell, and is easy on sensitive skin. However, if you prefer longer-lasting glide, this one doesn’t stay slick for very long.

<cross posted> I Have an issue where many lubricants cause a small burning sensation, so I set out to find ones that didn’t. I ended up trying three. Love Sesh (Playground), Aloe Cadabra (Natural Aloe), and Almost Naked (Good Clean Love). All three passed the ‘no burning test’. Below is my assessment of them. Love Sesh - Was the most expensive ($20) - Carried a smell (not unpleasant) in the bottle, which grew stronger on the skin. (Like a minty vanilla?) - Is almost—sticky? (When poured in my hand it strings when I pull my fingers apart.) {3/5} - while the smell on the skin was pleasant, the price and feel or the product left me unhappy. (I can’t speak to the longevity during use as it wasn’t the one I went with) Aloe Cadabra - 1/2 the price of Love Sesh, but not cheaper than Almost Naked - No smell in the bottle, but chemical (unpleasant) smell on the skin - When in my hand, the lubricant felt good—not tacky {3/5} - While the price and feel were ultimately better than the prior choice, the scent on the skin was a turn off. (I can’t speak to the longevity during use as it wasn’t the one I went with) Almost Naked - The cheapest of the three (I think $7.99), the price was way more palatable - Almost a vanilla scent in the bottle, which carries through onto the skin - Similar tackiness to Love Sesh, but almost thicker - When in use, works as it should {4/5} *the winner* - Based on the price, smell, and effectiveness during use, Almost Naked was the one I would purchase again. ** As these products are non refundable—I will use the Love Sesh before purchasing more of the Almost Naked. I will eat the cost on the Aloe as the scent isn’t something I can get over.

Great

Not good for someone with vaginismus, sensitive skin, or easily irritated vulva. Experienced burning and stabbing sensation when applied to vulva. Dries up really quickly compared to other water based lubes. It goes away after sometime but it really messed with my head and pelvic floor therapy. I thought my body was sensitive to the dilators, turns out it was this product. Went back to the Slippery Stuff which had zero irritation, no smell, more lubricating, lasts much longer, and cheaper.

Works well at first, but it tends to dry up quickly. Not ideal having to reapply often while busy trying to have fun. I don’t recommend this for what the label appears to advertise.

Great product. What every couple needs...
