Review (4/5): Not As Slippery As Expected - Need to Keep Gel Warm & Keep Warm Water Around
This is a huge bottle. We had read the description stating that it's 36.4 ounces but it doesn't really hit on how much that is until the container is sitting in front of you. The container is about 3/4 the size of a standard antifreeze bottle, and it's filled to the top with the gel.
This isn't the best massage stuff we've used but it's not the worst. This gel is meant to be used on wet skin (a first for us, we're used to gel / oil for dry skin). This is very important, if you don't use on wet skin, it gets very tacky, very quickly. However, even when you use on wet skin, it loses its oiliness / slipperiness quickly - to fix this, you have to reapply moisture to the area you're working on (so keep a spray bottle of warm water next to you). It also helps if the gel is warm. We recommend that you put some gel in a bowl and then place that bowl on top of preheated water.
The gel is unscented and has no taste to it (yes, I tasted it so that I could provide a thorough review). Once you're done using the gel, wipe down and you should be good to go. Any remaining gel is absorbed into the skin very quickly.
Overall, this stuff is pretty good. However, it's not as slippery as we expected. And having to keep it somewhat warm / heated plus keeping a spray bottle of warm water around is a pain. Which is why we're only giving this 4 stars.
We hope you found this review useful.
