Why does it matter that a lubricant has no glycerin? Many water-based lubricants use glycerin or other sugar derivatives to make the liquid thicker. Sliquid takes a different route and thickens Naturals Sparkle with plant cellulose. The maker formulated it to feel like the body's own lubrication, and it also leaves out parabens. For shoppers who read ingredient labels and want a short, plain formula with no flavor and no scent, that is the main reason to choose this lube over a standard one.
Sliquid Naturals Sparkle Pride, 4.2 oz bottle
Sliquid Naturals Sparkle is a water-based personal lubricant built on Sliquid's original formula, the same blend that the rest of the brand's water-based Naturals line starts from. This is the Pride edition in the 4.2 oz bottle. It is thickened with plant cellulose in place of glycerin, contains no parabens and is 100 percent vegan. It has no flavor and no scent.
The maker says it works with all types of toys and suits all kinds of sexual activity. It is non-staining and cleans up easily, so there is little to deal with afterward beyond a rinse with warm water for skin and toys.
Best for: For anyone who wants a plain, everyday water-based lubricant for sex, solo play and toys. The 4.2 oz bottle is the better buy for regular use at home, and the Pride edition packaging makes it a fitting gift or a way to show support.

Frequently asked questions
What is different about the Pride edition?
The facts describe the lubricant itself as Sliquid Naturals Sparkle, the brand's original water-based formula, and list this bottle as the Pride edition. Nothing in the description says the formula has been changed for this edition.
Can I use it with silicone toys?
The maker says Naturals Sparkle is suitable for all types of toys. Water-based lubricant is the usual choice for silicone, TPE and TPR toys, so it fits that use well.
Does it have a taste or smell?
No. It is listed as unflavored and unscented. That makes it a good pick if you find scented or flavored lubricants distracting or simply want something neutral. It also leaves no stains, according to the maker.
Should I get the 2 oz or the 4.2 oz?
They hold the same lubricant. The 4.2 oz bottle is the size for regular use at home. The 2 oz bottle is easier to pack for travel or to try the formula first.
