My first intro to O'my lubes were at our local adult toy store. Bless their hearts, they try to have something for everything. Now Hawaii is an ultra-conservative place, so adult toys are practically not happening outside the three adult movie booth places on Kapiolani Boulevard; but I digress.

Lube is something one buys in a tube at Long's, Walmart, or K-Mart. The two O'My flavors you can find here on Oahu are, Cherry (tastes like Robitussin, gag me with a spoon), Kiwi Strawberry (a much more pleasant taste that tasted like neither), and the Original Hemp based variety. So I go online and try Carmel, which will be the subject here, and Blueberry Cheesecake (delicious, delicious).

First off, the Carmel O'My comes in an Amber pump bottle containing about 4 ounces of love nectar. It’s a deliciously thick lube, it’s a little silky and a little sticky. I rubbed it on my arm and it was a nice, light, moisturizer without feeling greasy. There was no odor. It’s clear, as well.

Now for the taste test: It’s not super sweet, it has a cough syrup like consistency, and a taste like a slightly bitter creme brulee. It tasted way better than most and reminded me of something I got at Starbucks once. Not bad. Not exactly caramel, but in the close proximity...

I also tried it on a vibe, because it’s water-based, and it did the trick and stayed wet. It’s a nice lube for those who like to mix oral sex with toy sex, or for sessions when you might demand someone to go down on your strap-on tool. It certainly makes it more pleasant when there are other senses involved (added taste), or even taken away (blind folds).

The ingredients are what drew me in, in the first place really. Ingredients: Glacial Water, Vegetable Glycerin, Sorbitol, Hemp Seed Oil, Guarana Extract, Siberian Gingseng Extract, Yohimbe Extract, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Benzoate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Damiana Extract

No parabens, no dyes, just stuff you might find in the energy supplement department of GNC or someplace like that. Guarana is supposed to increase stamina, Siberian Ginseng is an aphrodisiac and energizer, Yohimbe is an energizing agent and aphrodisiac (mostly for men), I am surprised arginine was not added (increases blood flow), there are a couple approved preservatives, some herbal extracts (damiana, hemp seed oil-a good moisturizer, and O'My claims there is NO THC present at all!) a thickener, and sorbitol, a second thickener which also has a laxative effect - so use something else if you are looking for an anal water-based lube.

I'm a repeat customer for this company, at least five times since they went on the market, and never had an iota of irritation from their products. I like the discreet packaging, the pure ingredients, and the fact I can close and lock the pump for travel.

I still think this is delicious (no after taste to me), and its not sticky or irritating. It remains my favorite flavored lube. I would love it if our local adult toy store would get this flavor. They only carry cherry. "It's popular with our Japanese clients" I was told. The cherry flavor tastes exactly like Robitussin. How about some Starbucks inspired flavors? Or if you are worried about locals Spicy Ginger, Green Tea and Lotus (sushi and wakame seaweed, or squid flavor, as enticing as it sounds, is over kill).

Great, great product. You'd do best to include it in your next order. This is the first lube I actually squirted in my hand, ate, and went back for more. And, you can refill the bottle with hand lotion , that's how inconspicuous it is. (always looking for green things to do...)
