Aloe Cadabra Natural Water Based Personal Lubricant

I ordered this after reading a glowing review about it from the New York Times Wirecutter and am glad I did. The texture is perfect and you really only need a very small amount. It feels completely natural to me and there’s no sticky residue or anything else unpleasant.

I got this aloe product when my favorite lube was discontinued. I like this one even better. It’s slippery and does not leave you feeling sticky. I like the limited ingredients.

a huge label on the box and the expiration date has passed…

I’ve been switching products in our home and personal use slowly and one of the things I wanted to focus on was our personal health. I wanted to find a more organic lube and after much research I found this one. I love it! It doesn’t dry up too quickly and very little tacky feeling once it does. It also tastes and smells good! So many options too. Would highly recommend!

The best I totally recommend it to buy

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.
