So I came to this article to "get" a joke I heard in Family Guy about Astroglide. So now that I see its a sex lubricant, ha ha, funny. But this article seems a bit suspicious, particularly these lines:

The scientist who invented it was talking to his mother one day, who mentioned that she was having problems with post-menopausal dryness. Well, he recommended that she try his new product, one thing led to another, and now it is one of the top selling sexual lubricants in the country.

Not only is this written somewhat sloppily, but I'm skeptical that this is true. I've seen vandalisms that look like this, but then again, if this is indeed true, wouldn't I look like an idiot for deleting it?

So what should be done with this article? --69.234.237.22 03:46, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You were right to point it out, i removed this and the paragraph below it. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 04:40, 2005 Mar 4 (UTC)

Interestingly enough, a ton of many different sites on a Google search claim that a NASA chemist named Daniel Wray did indeed invent Astroglide. However, I found no mention of NASA nor Daniel Wray on astroglide.com, the official site. So either this is either true but they just didn't mention him on the official site (not even in the About page), or this is probably one of the most widely-believed sex/chemistry-related urban legends out there. I'll leave it alone, since I can't seem to find the truth one way or another. --69.234.237.22 07:30, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, just look at this search, the view is widely held and probably true, however I haven't found a trusty source for it (most of them are marketing pages). —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 15:36, 2005 Mar 4 (UTC)
I had no problems finding an article with quotes from Wray, and verified his founding BioFilms so put that info in...

...while we are at it, is it no longer a stub? (Nevermind, I'm going to remove stub-status...) -RJFerret 03:55, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I found Wray easily enough, but who the hell is Drafahl? I've removed him. --75.73.193.23 (talk) 10:16, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Restored ph and references[edit]

I'm mystified why references and information was removed regarding pH acidity, as that left a false impression and made it unbalanced. -RJFerret 18:16, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


This paragraph[edit]

{Astroglide was introduced in 2005, using a orange cap and color scheme; this new variety is referred to as a "warming liquid. It has a stickier and less natural smoothness than the original Astroglide"[1]}

says who? the quoted sources says nothing about it being stickier and less smoothe than the original, actualy the quoted source says the exact opposite:

"The same smooth feeling as original Astroglide but with a soft, warming sensation." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.173.65.54 (talk) 01:12, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
