System JO Hybrid Lube Review
My Verdict
I never usually reach for a hybrid lube, but this one slightly changed my mind! Despite not being a hybrid lube fan, this one is high quality, feels smooth and conditioning on the skin. It is probably the thickest lube I have tried, so if you're not someone who likes a paste-like lube, then I wouldn't recommend it to you. System JO. lubes are some of my favourite on the market, so I knew I was going to like it from the packaging and branding alone. If you're looking for a lube that will keep you wet forever, then this is your lube!
Buy, if you...
- Appreciate thick lubes for anal
- Want a long lasting lubricant
- Prefer a less tacky lube than a silicone lube
Don't buy, if you...
- Are looking for a cheap lube
- Want to use it with all sex toy materials
About The System JO Hybrid
The System JO Hybrid is a hybrid sexual lubricant that is made from both silicone and water. It comes in a plastic bottle that is easy to squeeze, and has a click-close lid. This lube is paraben and glycerol free, which is great for both penis and vulva owners, as it has a lower risk of causing infection when used. It is compatible with latex and polyurethane condoms, as well as glass and metal sex toys. I would not recommend using this lube with a silicone toy, as it contains silicone, and therefore may cause the toy some damage. I would recommend this lube to any type of experience level and would even suggest that it is a good beginner lube.
Pros
- ✅Lasts longer than just a water-based lube
- ✅It is a high quality feeling lube
- ✅Easy-to-use plastic bottle
Cons
- ❌Not compatible with all condoms and sex toy materials
- ❌It is one of the more expensive lubes on the market
- ❌It is very thick and paste-like

Design
System JO lubes are some of my favourite on the market, and this hybrid lube is no exception. I love the bottle design - the tall, transparent bottle where you can see the lube inside is aesthetically pleasing to me. I also like the blue colouring to show that it is partly a water-based lube. It looks super sleek and high quality, which I think is important and adds to the product itself! For a high priced lube, I want every part of the product to feel like I have not wasted any money, and with this lube, it physically feels expensive. Perhaps to make it even more premium, I would have used a glass tube instead.
Ease of Use
This lube is probably the thickest lube I have ever touched - It's like wall-paper paste! It is very coating and creates a thick paste on top of the skin and on a sex toy. When it came to washing it off my skin, it didn't budge! I had to really wash them, and even when I thought I had washed it all off, my skin still felt a little slimy - I didn't like that! This lube also only works with latex and polyurethane condoms, as well as metal and glass sex toys only, as it cannot be used with silicone toys, as it contains silicone. However, as this hybrid lube is made partly from water, it doesn't get tacky when rubbed into the skin - it certainly doesn't have to be re-applied often as it remains wet, basically forever!
Quality
This lube feels very premium and high quality, because it is so thick and smooth on the skin. It is FDA approved, like all the JO lubes. As a vulva owner, I am quite picky with my lubes as I want the risk of an infection to be as low as possible. The great news is that this lube is glycerin and paraben free, which is amazing for vulva owners especially, as they have a decreased risk in developing an infection! The ingredients in this hybrid lube are: Propylene Glycol, Aqua, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone, Cellulose Gum, Cyclopentasiloxane, Sodium Polyacrylate, Trideceth-6 and Dimethicone.
Price
This lube is definitely pricey, but most lubes that have silicone in them, tend to be more expensive than ones without. Even though JO is a recognisable and trustworthy brand, I still think the price of this lube is too much! I don't often like to spend too much money on my lubes, because I only use it to make sex marginally better - Lube for me isn't a complete necessity, so a cheap hybrid lube will do! I certainly wouldn't pay this price of this lube again.
Performance
If I didn't end up washing off this lube, it would probably be on me forever! It is so thick and obviously contains silicone, that this lube is lasting until the end of time. For someone who hates thinking about their lube and doesn't like to re-apply mid-way through 'activities', this lube was ideal for me! I would highly recommend using this lube for any type of activities - including using large anal toys! The only downfall - I really don't like lubes that still remain on the skin after washing it off a couple of times - I hate the feeling of it being slimy on my skin! Otherwise, I liked it.
Compatibility
I really love the System JO lubes, as they are in large bottles that are easy to squeeze. When buying JO lubes, I feel like I am getting the most for my buck, because I hate buying small bottles. Personally, I like to use a lot of lube, so I hate it when the bottle runs out too quickly! The bottle is made of plastic that isn't too hard or thick to use, as well as having a click-close lid, that is really accurate when squeezing lube onto the skin or toys! The lid also screws off so that every last drop can be used! Win Win!
Stain Test
Despite this lube not being translucent, it didn't leave a stain on cotton bed sheets. It is initially very wet when soaked on the fabric, but after drying and washing, it didn't leave any stains. Yet, when the lube is on the skin, you can see it. Unlike other lubes that simply just look shiny and wet, this one has a slight white tint, that looks a little like something else!... I am not a fan...
