Swiss Navy lubricant has a small share of the market. Small to the point where I wouldn’t normally have remarked on it, but I was struck by the fact Swiss don’t have a Navy. Perhaps there was an interesting story here, like there was with Gun Oil brand lubricant? There is no explanation. It seems like they just merged Swiss Army with Old Navy, which seems rather disapointing. Leaving me to conclude that I’ll take Gun Oil over Swiss Navy any day.
Aqua Lube

As a follow up to my Lubricated Condoms post, I wanted to focus on Aqua Lube. The interesting thing about Aqua Lube is that it was such a successful aspect of the Kimono brand condom that it was spun off as its own discrete product. As you may know, Kimono is branded as an ultra thin condom, and yet ultra thin though a condom may be, it’s telling to note that the quality of the lubricant is clearly also something that is very much on consumers’ minds.
