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.

1. What age to you think is a good age for someone to lose their virginity? (Chapter Two) I’d say whenever they feel physically, mentally, and emotionally ready is a good age.

2. What is the weirdest position you have ever been in that you were sure would not work but did?? (Angel) We haven’t been lucky enough to have that happen yet. 6’5” and 5’1” can be difficult to line up properly even in simple positions.

3. Worst Date ever? (D. Scandal) Well, I’ve only gone on dates with hubby and none of those were that bad… So, I dunno.

4. Do you have any problems asking your partner for what you want in bed?(Boobies) Yes…

5. What is the one sexual experience, that you haven't tried before, that you would like to experience this year?(Mrs. Discontented) Sex with hubby and the tentacle dildos. I really need to introduce him to them sometime.

6. Which one is easier to organize for a woman... a MFM or a FFM? (France) Um… I really have no idea what you’re talking about. I know MFM and FFM, but I don’t really understand the question…

7. At what number of sexual partners does one become a slut (disasterousdating) I dunno.

8. On a scale from 1-10, how kinky are you? (Blue-eyed Vixen) 8

9. Do you like to french kiss? Yes

10. How much tongue is too much tongue? Just don’t lick my face like a dog, okay?

11. Can you get past the "bad kissing thing" or is that a deal breaker? That’s such a petty thing to get rid of someone over. If you really love them, just re-train them!

12. A name you think is just freaking sexy! James. And it’s not because of James Bond. I can’t stand him… It’s hubby’s Harry Potter name. Mine is Violet. I have a lot of Harry Potter fantasies, okay? Mostly Draco/Hermione only it’s James/Violet instead. Oh, and that one Snape dream… Hubby is so hot as Snape… *drools*

13. What is your lucky number ( just wanna know) 16

14. Do you have a name for your partners sexual part? Nope

15. Will you deny your partner sex if you are mad at them? I deny everything, when I’m mad at him.

16. How many naked pictures are on your phone? None, but I still gots nekkid pics of hubby on my computer! I found out I still had the emails from when we were dating and re-downloaded the pics. Murrr…

17. If you could change one thing about your body what would it be? Can I change the health of it to never be sick?

18. Have you ever broken anything doing the nasty? Not that I can remember… but that’s not really saying anything… Maybe. I dunno.

19. What are your bed sheets like? Plain green cotton sheets with a black microfiber comforter. Why?

20. would you like to have sex on the beach or have you already? Would I like to have sand stuck to my butt or seagulls swarming me? No.

21. What is love? ♪ Baby, don’t hurt me! Don’t hurt me..no more!♪ But to be serious, love is all-consuming. Love is always thinking about your partner’s wants/needs and putting those first. Love is wanting the best for someone. Love is hard and love hurts deeply. Love is sacred and something that shouldn’t be given out to just anyone, lest they trample it and ruin you in the process.

I was at Hogwarts, in the dungeons I suppose since it was Snape's office. (You’ll have to excuse the terrible diagram…) But it wasn't Alan Rickman, the guy who plays Snape, it was hubby. (Thank God. It would be way creepy if it would have been Alan Rickman. Too bad they can't replace him with hubby in real life. I had never thought he'd make such a sexy Snape.)

I was told to come in, so I did and closed the door behind me. After locking the door, the empty space which may have been glass in front of the stone desk he was sitting at turned to stone as well so nobody could see inside. I was told to lock the other door behind where he was sitting and did so promptly. He got up and walked to a chair to the left of the desk and just after the first door I locked.

I sat down on his knee and we talked, about what I'm not sure. There was something about chocolate, and I remember us both being quite horny. He was teasing me with the chocolate, I think. I can't quite remember, although I'd like to.  I just know he was teasing me to the point I almost got off on that and was about to explode if I didn't get him, and for some reason there was chocolate; the good Milka kind too, I'm pretty sure. What happened after all that, I'm not sure.

Did I get anything? Maybe...I guess... Meh, I wish I could remember. The last thing I remember is walking out of the office with him and seeing Dumbledore. There was a short conversation between the three of us, but I don't think he had any idea what had happened. (Unlike the movies where he knows EVERYTHING. Yeesh… That's just plain creepy.

I would love this for when I drink tea! This cute little tentacle cup and saucer comes from Anthropologie’s From the Deep Dinnerware set.

The From the Deep Dinnerware set is imported stonewear and is dishwasher and microwave safe. Although… I’m not so sure how safe your food would be with all those grabby tentacles trying to steal it!

Okay… These plates are making me want sushi, spicy octopus balls, takoyaki, or a combination of all that. Once all the food is gone, will those grabby tentacles come after me?

FYI: I totally missed the boat when this was originally posted, but I still wanted to participate.

Tis Time to play the dare my lovers. Its easy copy the questions, answer ( be as risky or virginal as you want) grab my button and link up!

Today I have help from Jim, Benj and the boyfriend...

1. Do you like your feet to touch when having sex? I like to run my feet over hubby’s chest during sex, when we’re in the right position. It’s like wiggling my toes in a shag carpet. *toe wigglies*

2. If your love life was a movie what would the title be? One Thing After Another

3. Orgasm eyes open or closed? Um… You know, I never really paid that close attention. Um… open, I think…

4. Have you ever been to a sex club, swinger club or sex party? Nope.

5. How many years difference is appropriate for having sex with someone...example is it appropriate for a 36 year old to be with a 20 year old? I dunno. Just make sure you’re not doing it with a minor, okay?

12. How big is too big for penis size? Dunno. I haven’t had one that I can’t handle yet.

13. THIS  ONE IS FROM THE HUBMAN DO YOU THINK YOUR GRANDPARENTS STILL HAVE SEX? Er, no. I very much doubt that my surviving grandmothers can still have sex with their dead husbands.

15. Do you like to be teased? Sometimes.

16. Do you like your hair pulled? Maybe, if he ever tried it.

17. How do you feel about long distance relationships and can they work? Ugh… hated it! I’m so glad hubby’s not in the Navy anymore. Long-distance can work, but it’s so painful.

Check out my sexy new leopard print throe from MyPleasure!

Let’s face it, sex is messy. Body fluids, pre-lubed and/or used condoms, and open bottles of lubricant or massage oil are a recipe for disaster. That’s where the Fascinator Leopard Throe comes in.

I’m not sure how many times hubby has told me, “You better not make a mess!” when I get up to shuffle to the bathroom after sex. I can’t help it. Sometimes the way I have to get up makes it difficult to control my pc muscles and the cum just oozes out. Cleaning the carpet isn’t bad, but getting it off our microsuede sofa is a pain in the butt. So, when MyPleasure offered me the chance to review the Fascinator Leopard Throe, I snapped up the opportunity.

Design

Leopard print may not be for everyone. Hubby told me it looks tacky. (Hence me not telling him that I had a leopard print bed set and a white tiger rug when I was in middle school.) My little sand froggy loves it, though. Perfect for camouflage!

The underside of the Fascinator Leopard Throe is solid black with a satin shine. It’s trimmed with black microfiber, so you don’t see the leopard print at all when it’s turned to this side.

Texture/Absorbency

Microfiber: The microfiber leopard print side is soft, luxurious, and feels a bit warmer against my skin. I love to use this side to lay on for massages.

This side is pretty much water-proof. It might be a little difficult to see in the picture, but that’s a pool of water on it. It didn’t soak in at all. When I wiped it all up, there wasn’t any moisture left on this side; it was completely dry.

With this side up, though, the throe slips around a bit due to the slick underside.

Satin: The black satin side is smooth and somewhat cool to the touch.

Unlike the microfiber leopard print side, it will soak up moisture. Within about a minute, it soaked up the water I poured on it. The inner moisture barrier stopped it from leaking through to the microfiber side, though.

With this side up, the throe won’t scoot around as much. The microfiber side tends to grip other surfaces better than the slick satin side.

What about the messiest sex of all, period sex?

If you decide to have sex on your period, this throe would be perfect. With towels, you have the threat of soaking through to the bed linens, couch, or whatever. I prefer to use the satin side because I’m too afraid to stain the microfiber side. Although water does soak into this side, thicker fluids like semen and menstrual fluid don’t soak in as quickly and have been stopped by the material sandwiched in between the two layers, in my experience. So, in other words, it won’t soak through to the leopard print side. Also, since the satin side is black, I haven’t seen any staining.

Snuggle Factor

Even after washing it a few times, the Fascinator Leopard Throe doesn’t really have the snuggle factor of a blanket. It’s great to snuggle on, but not as nice to snuggle underneath or wrap around. The layer between the microfiber and satin makes the throe somewhat crinkly, so it’s not the same as a soft, limp comfort blanket. A couple washes does soften it up, but it still seems crinkly.

Cleaning

You can spot treat the microfiber side, but I would definitely throw the throe in the laundry if you get the satin side messy, since it soaks in.

The care instructions are printed on a tag that is attached to the throe.

Machine wash separately or with dark colors in cold water on the delicate cycle. Do not use bleach or iron the throe, and make sure to tumble dry on low heat.

Material: Front 42% nylon, 38% polyester, 20% cotton. Back 100% polyester. The inner protective layer is a pliable polyester water barrier.

Dimensions: L-5’ x W- 4’

Packaging

Although the box that MyPleasure shipped the Fascinator Leopard Throe in was discreet, the product packaging definitely isn’t. I wouldn’t advise taking this out of its shipping box with other people around.

It would have been much nicer not to have the half naked woman on the front. Point deduction.

Rating: 4.5/5 What? The half point is for the packaging. Raunchy packaging bugs me. I prefer product packaging to be sophisticated and at least somewhat discreet. The Fascinator Leopard Throe is perfect for preventing messy situations and stains on carpeting, furniture, or even the back seat. Fluids can be easily wiped up off the microfiber side, since they don’t soak in. If you’d rather they soak in so you don’t roll over in a puddle, be sure to use the satin side.

The Fascinator Leopard Throe is a must for anyone who doesn’t want a mess!
