This girl loves her Sliquid lube, so when I found out about Babeland had teamed up with them to make Pink Lemonade Swirl, I figured it would be pretty awesome.

The reason this product first came to my attention was because I received a press release announcing that Babeland would be dedicating 10% of sales revenue in October to the Young Survival Coalition in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. I thought that was pretty awesome and am learning that Babeland is pretty amazing when it comes to philanthropy. I won’t go into further detail because they have their own awesome PR team, but you can read about how they give back over at the site.

Anyways… back to the lube!

I love Sliquid’s lubricants for a number of reasons, but the number one thing that keeps me reaching for their stuff is the fact that they are committed to creating a product that is body safe. I know I didn’t even have to look to make sure this new formulation doesn’t have any icky ingredients because all of their products are glycerin and paraben free. They’re also safe to use with latex condoms and 100% vegan friendly. I don’t typically seek out vegan products, but I’m also not super excited about introducing animal-based products to my most sensitive bits, so I appreciate it.

Now, some of you are probably questioning the decision to make a Pink Lemonade flavored lube. I kind of was too. I’m not a giant fan of flavored lubes to begin with and I just wasn’t sure how this one would work. Somehow, it totally does! There’s no gross aftertaste and it’s not overwhelming at all. There’s just this sweet/sour bit of summer thrown into the mix that I really love.

Like my previous experiences with different varieties of Sliquid Swirl, this is a good water-based lubricant. It’s compatible with silicone toys, which is why I have a shoebox full of water-based lubes even though they don’t last as long as silicone-based products.

I’m super glad I got to give this product a shot and recommend it, as I always end up doing with Sliquid products. When I reviewed the Cherry Vanilla Swirl a long ways back, I stated that it was the best flavored lube I had ever used and I still believe you can’t beat this line if you’re looking to add a little sweetness to your sexin’.

The only bad thing about trying this one is that now I’m disappointed in myself for never trying their Green Apple Lube because I thought it would be a little tart. I’m now thinking I’ve been missing out for years!

For a little taste of summer this cold winter nights, head over to babeland and get your own bottle of Pink Lemonade Swirl!

System JO recently sent me a few samples of their flavored lube to check out, so I thought I’d share my findings, because lord knows you can never have enough info about lube!

The first thing you should know about this water-based lube is that it does not contain any sugar or artificial sweeteners.  We’ve said it a million times before, but NEVER use lube that contains sugar unless you’re yearning for a yeast infection!  Besides that, you’ll also be pretty excited to hear that there’s no aftertaste.  While I’ve read that before in reviews and on the company’s website, I really didn’t believe it until I experienced it for myself.  I’ve now tried 3 different flavors and haven’t been left with a bad taste yet.

I tried the Strawberry Kiss, Watermelon and Raspberry Sorbet, and they’re all pretty decent.  I definitely liked the Strawberry best – it’s not super sweet and tastes like fake strawberry candy.  I liked the Watermelon more than I expected, although it’s a little more overpowering than the Strawberry.  My least favorite was the Raspberry Sorbet, which doesn’t taste bad, but is just too sweet for my taste.  There are a few other flavors available, including Tangerine Dream, the one that intrigues me the most!

As far as performance, this is definitely the best flavored lube I’ve used.  It’s long lasting, doesn’t get gross and sticky like some lesser products and washes off really easily.  While I usually think of flavored lube as being kind of gimmicky, I could see myself using this one over and over again.

My only complaint is that one of the ingredients is glycerin.  If you’re sensitive to it, and many women are, you may want to pass on this product.  Of course, you could always break it out if you’re just planning on going down on your boy for a sweet treat for both of you!

If you’re looking for a flavored lube and don’t have issues with glycerin, I can definitely recommend this one.

I’m not typically a fan of flavored lubricant – I like girls that taste likes girl – but I do like the Sliquid line and after seeing the thoughtful ingredient list, I decided I’d give it a shot.

Since it was a big selling point, let me talk about the ingredients. Those of you who are try to avoid yeast infections will be glad to hear that Cherry Vanilla Swirl is both glycerin and sugar free. You also won’t find any controversial parabens or any animal products at all. That’s right, this lube is the perfect gift for your vegan friends! There are a lot of people cranking out lube with ingredients I do my best to avoid, so it’s nice to see Sliquid working hard to create safe products.

Another thing I liked about Swirl was that the flavor wasn’t overwhelming at all. It’s a nice subtle Cherry Vanilla (definitely more cherry) that doesn’t leave a bad aftertaste in your mouth. I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the hint of sweetness and will probably try other flavors in the future.

Swirl is a water-based lube, which means it’s compatible with all of the silicone toys I love so dearly. Like every water-based lube I’ve ever used, you may need to reactivate it using a bit of water or saliva if it starts to get sticky over time. While this is a bit inconvenient, it’s not unusual. I admit that my experience with flavored lubes is limited, but, so far, this is the best I’ve used.

After considering the price and quality of this lube, I would be a fool to not recommend it for those of you who are looking to sweeten the deal when it comes to oral!

Because everything is better with a cherry on top!
