Sliquid Swirl Cherry Vanilla Flavoured Lubricant 125ml

Excellent alternative to the Durex Play range

Bought this as an alternative to the Durex Play range of flavours and was curious about how the vanilla-ry it would actually be.

We were very happy with what we had bought, a pleasant surprise for a brand we would never normally buy and would highly recommend to those who like a change from the norm.

I love, love, LOVE this little lube! It smells incredible and is absolutely yummy. It reminds me of cherry bakewell tarts! Much more almond-like than vanilla I thought. Makes your lover good enough to eat. Nice pleasant texture. Not sticky and easily cleaned up... In fact no clean up needed! Isn't that a nice change over being left covered in goop?! Definitely makes me look forward to foreplay like no flavoured lube ever has! Quite the sweet treat.

I was a little concerned when it was described as enhancing natural flavour rather than masking it that it wouldn't be strong enough compared to what I was used to (I want natural "flavours" masked thanks!); but actually it does the job just fine. In fact the flavour is strong, but not in an unpleasant chemically way, it really is more like actual food (perhaps I could pour this over my vegan ice-cream…). So if you're a little squeamish about au-naturelle, this lube is for you!

As a vegan, I was immediately attracted to this product - very appreciative of the clear labelling and variety of quality flavours. I also endeavour to make everything I use on or in my body natural and free of toxic nasties. Great to find something free of parabens and the other usual bad guys. The only negative being that it still contains aspartame, which put me off, (it would be nice if it could be made with a safe natural sweetener... considering how much of it I'm going to end up eating!), but it ticked all the other boxes and is the best flavoured vegan product I have found to date.

It is quite pricey, but already the number of hand and blowjobs we've gotten out of it has far exceeded a standard bottle of Durex flavoured lube and we're only about a quarter in! It really does go a long way and this combined with the quality and the ingredients make it well worth investing in. Being on a tight budget I was a little deterred by the price at first, so I tried it with my Oh! Points. I'm so glad I did. I don't think I'll ever go back to anything else! So don't let the price tag put you off. I'd spend just as much if not more getting through multiple bottles of cheaper lube.

I also really like the bottle. It travels well without any leaks, stays nice and clean during use (no unwanted sticky dribbling like you get with pump dispensers!) and fits nicely into a handbag or pocket (my little bottle has travelled on some exciting adventures and is still as good as new!). Much more functional and convenient than others I have tried.

I do find the lube can dry up easily from the heated friction during a handjob, but it can be reactivated with a bit of water. Usually I've just added more lube, which is how I discovered it goes a surprisingly long way!

I think cherry vanilla will be my favourite flavour as this is the taste I usually go for, but I am excited to try the blue raspberry or apple next!

Top product, the creators have really done an amazing job with this! Well designed all round. One very happy customer who will be back for more!

Great stuff

This has rapidly become my favourite lube. All three varieties have a pleasant taste without being too overpowering or sweet. I've had lubes before which have either caused irritation or been off-putting in taste/smell, but this is pretty much ideal. It can dry up during a prolonged session; but the addition of a little water gets it all nice and slidy again. I particularly like the reassuringly short ingredients list and the fact that it's vegan friendly.

Yum

I got the cherry vanilla one, tastes more like ice cream than cherries but still good. Very mild taste so not over powering, and feels great which is the main thing!

I bought it as I am actually vegan so always get excited when I come across new things I can try. Would definitely recommend, and with a good price tag and being cruelty free as well, what more could you want from it?

Tasty and long-lasting lubrication

I've been looking for some flavoured lube for a while, trying to avoid the very strong, artificial flavours that are mostly everywhere. They just make you feel sick after and while and destroy the pleasure of giving oral; this however is very much the opposite. After reading reviews saying how the taste is quite mild, not artificial and enhances your natural taste rather than covering it, I just had to try it out.

It tastes and smells great, with a cherry/almond-y flavour; my boyfriend prefers we use this one for hand-jobs because it smells great and lubes up brilliantly.

Sliquid lubes contain no glycerin which is reassuring as it reduces the risk of yeast infection, this makes it more appealing as it seems as if it was actually more designed for use around the sexual organs rather than the other lubes which are designed more to smell nice rather than be safer around your delicate parts.

Sliquid, however, does have both; it smells/tastes great and doesn't leave you worrying if all that sugar might cause a nasty infection!

These lubes do not cover up your natural taste, but enhance it (like adding bacardi to coke ^_^) they are not over-powering in smell or flavour and are long-lasting as a lube; a little bit goes a long way.

The bottles are a little smaller than I imagined, but as I say, you'll find you won't need to use quite as much of this lube at a time than with some other lubes.

Overall I'd have to say this was a good buy, it tastes much more natural than most other flavoured lubes, is much more delicate-part-friendly and lasts well as a lubricant.
