First to state the obvious, this is a high quality personal lube.But this review is not about the qualities for it's intended use. There are many of those here. What I want to expound upon is the household and mechanical uses. Now some people find it strange when they see a bottle of masturbation lube sitting in plain view on my work bench along with things like rubbing alcohol and rubber gloves. But as a home owner and handyman these are products that keep things clean and operating smoothly.I first discovered other uses when I was restoring a set of old hinges that were pretty worn and squeaked. After taking them apart and a light steel wool treatment I went to lubricate them with Vaseline (odor free) but I didn't have any. I thought about the Swiss Navy conveniently stored in the back of one of my mancave/shop cupboards and applied a thin coat. Low and behold the old hinges were quiet and smooth.After that, I didn't hide it for special occasions, it sits in plain view on my well organized work bench. When friends or family take a second look I proudly tell them (a little white lie) that I only use it for household purposes such as car door locks, the expanding pole on my chainsaw, squeaky hinges and anything else that requires a scent free lubricant that is non-toxic to people and animals. Two of my buddies have bought it for the same purpose, or so they say, LOL.As for it's intended use, it's a little messy to clean up. Generally soap and water is required to get any skin it touches clean. If you can't clean up right away it's not sticky like water based products and doesn't stain clothing.Overall this is a great product and a few drops goes a long way for personal or household use.
