I’m not the kind of girl that really brings food into the bedroom. While I am a pretty sexually adventurous person, I usually draw the line at anything that will make me sticky, make a huge mess to clean up, or leave a weird taste or smell – all of which happen with food. Don’t get the weird taste or smell comment? Try bringing whipped cream into your sexcapades and tell me you don’t smell faint traces of spoiled milk when your bodies heat up? Just saying. Anyway, back to the task at hand, Babeland Body Chocolate. Like I said above, I don’t usually bring food into the bedroom, so when this little tub of edible chocolate body spread came across my desk, I was a little hesitant to give it a go. But just as nearly everything else that I’ve been nervous to test, Babeland Body Chocolate turned out to be pretty decent.
Before getting to anything else, I have to start with the sticky factor, because that is a major deal breaker for me. After having my partner paint the chocolate onto my body and spend some time licking it off, I did the stick test – meaning I let his spit dry for a bit then patted my palm on the spot. No stickiness! Other edible body spreads I’ve tried have left weird stickiness and residue, but not Babeland Body Chocolate!
My other edible deal breaker is a product that makes a huge mess – and this spread does not! The thick, chocolate- syrupy consistency the Body Chocolate made sure that it wasn’t runny at all. No matter how much was glopped on, the chocolate stayed put. This means it not only stayed mess free, we were also able to draw pictures, write messages and generally play all kinds of ways with chocolatey enthusiasm! And no sheets were harmed in the making of this review – a major bonus. Also, even after an initial lick it stays pretty securely, resulting in many more licks needed for full removal. No complaints there – especially because it doesn’t leave me sticky!
My only real gripe about this stuff is that even though it is vegan, all-natural/organic, fair trade dark chocolate, it has a bit of a weird/chemical aftertaste. I can only really categorize it as a dollar store Easter chocolate taste, which I know sounds kind of strange, but I also think you know what I’m talking about. And I’m not the only one that thinks that – my partner agreed, as well as the rest of the folks in my office (I passed in around for a finger dip taste test).
While it’s not as much as a deal breaker for me as the other stuff, I still don’t love the taste, which means it probably won’t get used quite as much as it would have if the taste was to die for. Or maybe we are just chocolate snobs and anything that isn’t top shelf, 75% cocoa just doesn’t do it for us. Either way, it’s not terrible, just a little bit on the cheap tasting side – at least to the mouths around me.
All in all, Babeland Body Chocolate is a decent edible toy that brings a little something extra to the bedroom! Two out of three stars in my book.
