Nude lubricant is another lube that falls into the organic range but unlike others I've tried is oil based which makes it unsuitable for use with latex condoms.

Ingredients:
Certified organic Co2 extracts of German Chamomile
Calendula and Seabuckthorn berry,
Organic sunflower seed oil,
Meadow Foam Seed oil
Apricot kernel oil
Palma Christi
Natural Beeswax
Sal Butter,
Shea Butter

Packaging and Appearance:
The first thing that struck me about this lube was the packaging. Unlike many of the other lubes I've tried in the past, this has an air of sophistication. The simple blue bottle has something of a grown up feel to it that I think many other lube packages lack. The flip top lid is easy to use which is always a serious plus if you're groping for the bottle in the dark or with the lights just dimmed.

Texture and Smoothness:
As with all the other organic lubes I've tried this had an opaque look when poured into my hand, but as soon as it's dispersed or rubbed it becomes translucent. The one thing I did notice was that it has something of an oily texture and stays put at least on my hands for quite a while. Infact the only way I could remove it was to physically wash my hands. It has to be said though, it did make a great hand cream -)) It does have a smooth. silky feel to it, without the spidering effect and I personally liked that.

Another thing I discovered by accident was that when placed in the fridge Nude took on a whole new life. As it solidified it became more like the consistency of an ointment. In some respects I liked this consistency better as rather than having to pour it into my hand I could simply place my fingers into the smaller sample I was sent and apply, making things slightly less messy. I only discovered this, because when the package was delivered I was out and the Fed Ex man deemed to leave the box on my porch where it froze all day, so when I returned and opened the package I found this consistency. It wasn't until the package began to defrost that I found the true consistency of the formula. I do still place this in the fridge when I want sex without the mess.

Taste & Smell Test:
Nude has a very distinct taste and not one that neither I nor Hubby was fond of. If you're looking for a lube that can be used for oral play as well then I wouldn't recommend this one. On the smell front Nude passed with flying colors.

Stain Test:
Passed with flying colors. No stain after rubbing in and laundering on satin or cotton.

Solo Flight Test:
When it comes to solo sex Nude's constancy has some major advantages over others. The oiliness makes it long lasting and yet it's not sticky or really greasy. Clean up is not as easy as with water based lubes because it resists water and unlike water based lubes cannot be reconstituted with water because of this. What I did find good was that because of it's constancy I didn't actually want to remove it from myself, just my toys which is simply done with a little warm water and soap.

I was a little worried about using Nude on my silicone toys but the manufacturer assured me this was okay and would not cause any problems and I'm happy to report they were right. At the same time I wouldn't recommend using this on latex or cyber skin toys as both are sensitive materials, but all other types of materials passed with flying colors. Nude also didn't dry my skin like other lubes have in the past, instead it felt more like I'd applied a light moisturizer and I liked that.

Nude did have the advantage of standing up well to water play fairly well. It took a lot of time for the water to break down the oils and if you're looking for something that can be used in the shower this might be hat you were looking for.

Dual Flight Test:
When it came to hand jobs Hubby liked Nude as well, it was thick enough to be effective, without the heaviness that some of the other oil based lubes we've tried have in the past have had. Both of us found this was also good when things became more intimate and had longer lasting qualities than many. Even anal play was good and Nude stood up well to the rigors we put it through, we didn't have to keep applying it in order to achieve that slippery feeling that makes anal so much more comfortable. One thing worth noting here is that if you use condoms when engaging in any sexual activity then the only ones compatible with Nude are those made from polyuthathane.

The downside of Nude was the taste which was to be honest unpleasant. I certainly can't recommend it for oral and even Hubby was put off by its gum like taste.

Conclusion:
Nude is a nice lubricant and one that I adore using when it comes to solo play. We tend not to reach for it when we are playing together because we enjoy oral sex and with Nude applied to be honest it's not that pleasant an experience for the taster. Another disadvantage is the fact that it can't be used with latex condoms, which of course limits many people whether playing solo or with a partner as many like to place a condom over a toy when in use for hygiene and safety purposes.

Nude is a sophisticated lube though, from it's packaging to the fact that its ingredients are all organic in nature. I did like the fact that I felt comfortable leaving this on my body after a play session something that I'm not comfortable doing with many other lubes.

If using a condom is something that you do, then this may not be the best choice of lube for you, but if that's not part of the equation and you're looking for something natural that feels good and is long lasting then Nude is something that I would personally give a try. Hubby also enjoys this for solo play and hand jobs because of its consistency and reports the same things as I found above.
