I have tried tons of different lubes in the past, and they all irritated my skin and stung like hot water on a sunburn. Many of them would also give me infections since I'm prone to them. This one is amazing though! I haven't gotten an infection since I started using it! The taste is good enough- the best one I've tried. It basically tasted like vanilla lip smackers you used growing up that you weren't supposed to eat but definitely did. It definitely serves its purpose. Only problem is, it dries pretty quickly once it's exposed to air. It is also expensive for the size, however, it is totally worth it because its a natural product I feel okay about putting in my body and it's way beyond better than others I've used.
