Looking for a lube that’s good and good for you? Babeland has you covered!

Babelube Natural is a wonderful new lube from Babeland, and formulated by Sliquid,  that is completely devoid of anything that could be harmful to the body. You don’t have to worry about anything with this lube. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, glycerin-free, and contains no sugar or artificial sweeteners. That means no adverse side effects for those who are allergic to parabens (like me) and a very low risk of yeast infections or problems in general. This stuff is as safe as you’re going to get.

Formula: water-based

Ingredients: purified water, plant cellulose (from cotton), aloe barbadensis, natural tocopherols (Vitamin E), carrageen, extracts of hibiscus, flax, alfalfa, green tea and sunflower seed, potassium sorbate, citric acid (from citrus fruits)

Some interesting facts about the ingredients: Babelube Natural is mostly organic and may even help out the health of your genitals.

• Aloe and hibiscus are known for moisturizing and soothing skin. Why else would aloe be used for sunburned skin?
• Flax is also moisturizing and has healing properties. When women aren’t properly lubricated, microscopic tears can be created from toys or partners thrusting within her. So, if your naughty bits need some nurturing, the flax may help.
• Green tea is an anti-inflammatory.
• Surprisingly carrageenan has been linked in some studies to preventing HPV transmission. That doesn’t mean this lube is going to protect you from HPV, though.

Texture/Thickness: Babelube Natural is a very viscous and slick lube. It will easily stay put wherever you want it to without dripping off. If you’d like to entertain yourself with my antics while I wait for this lube to drip off my hand, feel free to watch the video below:

Latex-safe: Yes.

Compatible with: all sex toys, unlike silicone-based lube. Since Babelube Natural is thick, it sticks to sex toys well. Sometimes, when a lube is runny and a sex toy is slick, it’ll just drip right off the toy. This lube stays put, though.

Long-lasting: We’ve had no issues with needing to re-apply. If you find your water-based lube ever drying out, you can reactivate its slickness with a little water or saliva, therefore saving you lube and money.

Suitable for anal sex: Yep! The first time I squirted some out into my hand, I knew it was going to be a great lube for anal. You can sort of compare the thickness to Sliquid’s Sassy Booty Formula (click for review). It’s basically a gel and provides a nice slick cushion for tushie pushin’. (I just had to say it. Sorry!)

Suitable for water use: Since it is a water-based lube, it will wash off in the shower. However, it does take longer for it to wash off than other water-based lubes I’ve tried. I think it’s because of the viscosity that it takes longer to wash off.

Scent: barely noticeable clean laundry/botanical scent

Taste: none

Residue: none

Stains: none

Expiration Date: The only thing that bothers me is that there is no expiration date printed on the bottle. Very few companies actually do that, though, which is unfortunate. I spoke with Babeland customer service, which is always very helpful and nice, and was told it should be used in about 18 months. I don’t really see that as a problem for us.

Rating: 5/5 Babelube Natural is wonderful. It covers all of my wants and needs: safe ingredients, perfect texture/thickness so it’s slick and stays put, long-lasting, tasteless, barely noticeable odor, great for anal, and safe for all of my toys. Also, I doubt many people should have any issues with it given the simple ingredient list.

I have always trusted Babeland the most out of all the companies I review for, and Babelube Natural definitely adds another level to that trust. I can tell that this was really made with the consumer’s health and pleasure in mind. Yes, I would like an expiration date, but it will probably be used up fairly quickly by hubby and me.
