So much better than KY

The wife and I have tried KY products and Astroglide is just so much better. I think Astroglide's catch-phrase is "Second only to nature" and its true. A little drop of this stuff goes a long way. Depending on your level of "activity", a 5oz bottle like this could last months.
The liquid itself is water-based, so if you're using condoms with it, then you're good to go. It won't damage them or deteriate them. Its also gooey and very slick, with a "natural lubricant" feeling. By the way, if you spill this on a hardwood floor or tile, clean it up with a dry rag or paper towel. It is slippery on the floor!
Works good

My girlfriend loves this stuff. It's a little wet but not thick. Works good for its price.
Not the Best

I tried Astroglide because it seems to be the most popular lubricant on the market. However, I can't really figure out why, as it is my least favorite of the ones I have tried.
The liquid is thin, extremely messy, and has a tendency to run all over the place. The runniness and ensuing mess were so bad that it sort of became an in-joke between me and my partner. It's also very easy to get too much unintentionally. When you put it where you want it, it won't stay put unless you use your entire hand to spread it on the surface, so your choice is to dribble on the sheets or be left with a very messy hand.
The lubricant itself doesn't seem to last very long and reapplication is usually necessary. I personally didn't think it felt as good as other products, as it seemed less slippery.
In addition, this product has ruined my very nice 400-count cotton sheets. There are permanent lube stains now that refuse to wash out. I realize that there is some risk of staining with lubricants, but the fact that it's water-based *and* impossible to avoid some dripping on the sheets makes this issue even more frustrating to me.
If I can help it, I will never buy Astroglide again. Boo Astroglide!
I am, however, very pleased with the next product we tried, Durex Play More Lubricants - Pleasure Enhancing, 3.38 oz. It, too, is water-based, so it is safe to use with condoms. The product is thicker, meaning it doesn't run like crazy, and the bottle has a pump which makes it less messy and easier to get just the right amount.
My Choice Every Time!

Simply put, this is a great lubricant. It stays wet for quite a while and it doesn't take a lot to go a long way. Two or three small drops can be quite sufficient.
Wet, but not wild

Astroglide is a step above KY for all of us that do not want paste down there. It isn't sticky or gooey, but it is a bit runny. If you need something thicker, then look elsewhere, but if you just need a little wetness, then this is for you.
