I'm sure most of us have tried flavored lubricants and, more often than not, come across one that left a nasty taste in our mouths and a hole in our pocket. (You know, from the waste of money.) Some of us have come across one that may have tasted good, but left us feeling gross after using it for things other than oral. It can be a horrible experience. Now, don't fret - there's still hope. If you are looking for something that gives you some extra slip and slide, tastes good, and is still safe for your body, then Sliquid Swirl is for you! All natural, hypoallergenic, vegan materials with no glycerin, parabens, or petro-chemicals, this water-based lubricant comes in several different flavors, each completely safe to use with a partner or your favorite toys!

What's in it? Allow me to explain:

Purified water
Plant cellulose (thickening agent)
Polyquaternium-7 (antistatic agent - this is what makes it slippery.)
Green Apple flavoring (or whichever flavor you have purchased)
Aspartame (type of sugar)
Potassium Sorbate (natural preservative)
Citric Acid (viscosity agent/thickener)
DMDM Hydantoin (antimicrobial preservative)

The DMDM Hydantoin is the only ingredient that causes a tiny bit of concern for me, since it is known to cause minor irritation, but there is such a little amount of it and there hasn't been any issues for me. However, for those who have very sensitive skin or an allergy to any ingredients listed, be careful when using this lubricant.

The consistency of this lubricant is on the thicker side for water-based lubricants, and it stayed in place during use. It isn't thick enough for anal use, but there shouldn't be any problem with it dripping everywhere during intercourse. Of course, if you do happen to get a bit on the sheets, it doesn't stain and easily washes away.

Orally, this stuff didn't last very long, but then again, your saliva breaks down just about anything you put into your mouth, so that is kind of understandable. It works wonderfully vaginally and never gets sticky when it dries, just like all Sliquid products!

I love the taste of the Green Apple lubricant! It tastes just like an apple flavored Air Head candy, and smells like it, too! But don't worry, it isn't cloyingly sweet. It's just enough to get the flavor across. Of course, if you aren't a fan of apple, there are currently three other flavors - Cherry/Vanilla, Blue Raspberry, and Strawberry/Pomegranate.

As I mentioned before, it does exceptionally well vaginally, but it doesn't last very long orally, which is really the point of this lubricant. But honestly, when you think about it, there aren't many lubricants that taste good and are still safe to use internally like this one is, with all natural, body safe ingredients. I think it's still fantastic, because once the flavor is gone or it dries out, it leaves the perfect opportunity for my fiance and I to really get it on! When it DOES start to dry out, it doesn't leave you feeling sticky or gross, like most flavored lubricants (and lubricants in general) tend to do, and washes away within minutes in the shower. Because it is water-based, it is safe with all materials, including condoms or your favorite toy.
