I’ve seen TV ads and magazine ads for K-Y Yours+Mine lube, and I’m somewhat curious, but not curious enough to spend sixteen bucks. What’s the deal here? Is this stuff worth a try, or is it snake oil in a fancy package?
The copy doesn’t really suggest anything beyond same product, different packaging. 99 percent of it is about the ‘sleek’ look of the bottles and increasing intimacy. I’m sure there are some ingredients lists online for a real comparison.
Maybe its trouser snake oil.
I’m sorry. Please don’t hit me
Heh… He said package… heh
Maybe “His” has vinegar in it, and “Hers” has Baking soda.
Or Crushed Mentos and Diet Soda
Or Ferric Ammonium Sulfate and Sodium Ferrocyanide, and everything turns Prussian Blue.
What would make it “worth a try” to you? What are the shortcomings (heh) of regular KY (or astroglide, or whatever you’re comparing it to) that you’re interested in addressing? Is whatever sensation you and your partner are having now problematic, and not dealt with adequately by the umpteen products currently on the market?
I’d be happy to field test it for you and provide my findings, but you’ll have to advise me on what you’re looking for.
Nothing is “problematic,” but a little something new is always nice at my age (I am 60 years old). I’m not a lube-user at present, but the ads imply that this product gives some sort of special sensations (different for the man and woman, and synergistic when docking occurs). That sounds interesting, but not sixteen bucks’ worth of interesting.
I think the ‘synergy’ only comes into play because you buy it as a couple, or one member presents it to the other as something intimate for ‘both of us,’ versus, I guess, a woman picking up some KY she knows she’ll need or a guy buying condoms by himself. I think it’s just an attempt to make lube sexy rather than a(n occasionally) cure for dry vag or chafing during marathon sex.
ETA If you want something new from the condom rack, check out Elexa’s disposable vibrating cock rings (or whatever euphemism they use).
We’ve actually tried it. It was … okay, I guess. I think I described it as “like dipping my privates in a mild Pop Rocks mixture”. The guy puts on his lotion, she applies hers, and when the two are combined, you get mild tingling and lots of warmth.
It was OK, I guess, but not really worth the $16 price tag. My wife didn’t get much benefit out of it, but she has MS and some reduced feeling so her results may not be typical.
Sounds like epoxy glue. :eek:
Ooooh, the warmth part is not good. Not if it’s anything like the K-Y Warming stuff we used the last time…my fella asked that we not use it again.
I worry a little when I hear that warmth and tingling are involved when this product is applied. Many, many years ago I accidentally used Mentholatum as love-lube, and the feeling was unforgettable (in a bad way).
But wait till you try K-Y Yours+Mine+Hers+Theirs Orgy Lubricant.
I liked the warming of KY Warming sensation,… the warming isnt always bad.
If the tingling is anything like the KY Mint stuff… i did not like that at all. It only works if you think tingling means mild burning sensation.
I don’t understand the need for warming. It’s already pretty warm in there. I remember when KY Warming first came out, and there was a commercial for it every thirty seconds, I kept wondering “What the hell, is there like a nationwide epidemic of drafty vagina or something?”
I think the warming is more for the pre-inside-the-vagina stage. 
Exactly. Or tingling for that matter. But as pinkfreud points out, in long term relationships sometimes it’s nice to change things up a bit. Hence all the rings and straps and electric motors.
I suppose with a market that is conditioned to watch Viagra commercials we’re overdue for a bombardment of other product pitches designed to suggest we’re not milking every last drop of pleasure out of our sex lives.
I imagine the $16 price point is aimed at women who hang out at the cosmetics counters of department stores, to distinguish the product from something they’d pick up at the drug store on the shelf next to the Fleet enemas.
It’s designed for corpse-fuckers.
That or real dolls/masturbation.
You haven’t lived until you’ve done the smurff…though a dirty sanchez is a close second
Blll
We’ve tried it. The “Hers” isn’t warming as much as tingling. Like a very mild Ben-Gay maybe. The “His” is just a slightly viscous lube which doesn’t react to the “Hers” at all. I do like the “Hers” . It’s a bit of a rip off because you can get the same tingly lube free with purchase from Adam and Eve.
