Water Slide Glycerin-Free Personal Moisturizer Water-Based Lubricant 1 fl oz

What Water Slide 1 fl oz is

Water Slide is a water-based personal lubricant from Earthly Body, sold here in a 1 fl oz (30 ml) bottle. The front label states the two things that matter most when choosing a lubricant: the formula is water based, and the bottle holds one fluid ounce. Everything else on this page is either read off that label or given as general category information, and is marked as such.

The container is a soft-walled blue bottle roughly the height of a thumb, finished with a black flip-top cap that opens and closes one-handed. It is a squeeze bottle rather than a pump, so pressure controls how much comes out. At an ounce, it belongs with the travel size lubricants rather than the bedside-bottle sizes — it fits a toiletry bag, a glovebox or a jacket pocket without announcing itself.

What the bottle actually states

This listing carries a single photograph: a straight-on studio shot of the front of the bottle. That front face carries the Water Slide wordmark, the words "personal lubricant", the words "water based", and the fill volume as both 1 oz and 30 ml. There is no reverse-label, base or barcode view available, so the ingredient declaration, any free-from statements and any manufacturer directions printed on the reverse cannot be read.

Our policy on that is simple: we publish what we can read on the packaging and omit the rest rather than estimating it. The specification table below is therefore short, and every row in it is either confirmed from the photograph or taken from this product's own catalogue record. If a detail matters to your decision — the full ingredient list in particular — read the declaration on the bottle itself before first use.

What "water based" means when you are choosing

Water based describes the carrier a formula is built on, and it is the single most useful word on a lubricant label. As a category, water-based lubricants are the most widely compatible of the three common types, which is why they are the usual starting recommendation for anyone using more than one thing at once.

• Water based — thins and absorbs over time, so it is refreshed with a little water or reapplied. Generally the most compatible category with latex and with silicone-bodied toys. Rinses out of fabric readily.
• Silicone based — does not absorb, so it needs refreshing far less, but it is widely advised against with silicone toys because it can degrade the surface, and it is harder to wash out of sheets.
• Oil based — the category to avoid alongside latex condoms, which oils can weaken.

Those are properties of the categories, not statements about this specific bottle. For the compatibility wording that applies to this exact formula, including use with condoms, diaphragms or toys, go by the manufacturer's own text on the bottle. You can compare this one against the rest of the range in water-based lubricants.

How to use it

Apply a small amount to the skin, the toy or the outside of the condom, and add more as you want it. No directions are printed on the face of the bottle this listing photographs, so follow the instructions on the bottle you receive. The general approach for any water-based formula is to start with less than you think you need — a 30 ml bottle goes a long way when you are not over-applying — and to refresh with a drop or two of water rather than reaching straight for more product.

Store it upright at room temperature, away from direct sun and out of a hot car. Close the flip-top fully after use so the neck stays clean. Water-based formulas rinse off skin with plain warm water and come out of most bedding in a normal wash, which is a large part of why the category is popular. Do not decant it into another container, and do not use it past any date printed on the bottle.

Who it suits

This size suits two buyers in particular. The first is someone who has not used this formula before and does not want to commit to a full-size bottle to find out whether they like the texture — an ounce is enough to form an opinion without a shelf full of regret. The second is someone who already knows the product and wants a second, portable bottle to keep in a bag or a drawer separate from the main one.

It is sold to adults 18 and over, and it is listed in both our men's and women's sections because nothing about a lubricant is specific to one of them. It will suit you less well if you prefer a formula that does not absorb and so needs no refreshing, or one that holds up in water without thinning — those are both reasons people choose a silicone-based product instead, and they are honest reasons to look elsewhere in lubes.

Good to know

Read the ingredient declaration on the bottle before first use, particularly if you have a known sensitivity or react to preservatives or plant extracts. If you are using it for the first time, a small patch test on the inside of the forearm is a sensible precaution with any product applied to skin. Stop using it if you notice irritation and speak to a licensed healthcare professional.

Keep it out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or using any prescribed intravaginal medication, check with a healthcare professional first — fertility and medication interactions are not something a product label can answer for you. This is a personal lubricant, not a contraceptive, and it offers no protection against pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much lubricant is in this bottle?

One fluid ounce, which is 30 ml — the volume is printed on the front label in both units. That is the smallest of the sizes Water Slide is bottled in, and it is the size that fits airline toiletry rules and a coat pocket.

Is Water Slide water based or silicone based?

Water based — the front label states it directly. Water-based formulas absorb into skin over time and are refreshed with a little water or by reapplying, rather than sitting on the surface the way a silicone formula does.

Can I use this with silicone toys?

Water-based lubricants as a category are the type generally recommended for silicone toys, because silicone-based lubricants can degrade a silicone surface. Confirm against the compatibility wording printed on the bottle you receive, and clean the toy with warm water and soap afterwards as its own instructions direct.

What are the ingredients?

The ingredient declaration is printed on the reverse of the bottle, which this listing's single photograph does not capture, so we do not reproduce it here. We transcribe specifications from packaging rather than estimating them, so read the declaration on the bottle itself — especially if you have a known allergy.

How is this order packaged for delivery?

Shipping is discreet. Orders go out in plain outer packaging with no product imagery or wording on the outside, and the billing descriptor on your card statement is a generic business name rather than the store name.
