Swede fruity love - lotion by Swede Global - review by wrecklesswords

This product is intended for massage, but it isn't too terrible as a lube (though be careful since it does have glycerol in it!), and worked great on my skin as a fun flavored moisturizer.

I love that on the label, it lists the pH level of the contents of the bottle. 5.5 is the reading, so if you keep a close eye on your lady parts, that's good to keep in mind. Also keep in mind that the vagina is naturally a little more acidic anyway. But please do be careful if a massage turns into a solo session or this massage oil finds its way to your lady garden because it does have glycerol and a few other ingredients in it that could make your sideways smile a bit frowny. Clean yourself well afterward, but if you are not very sensitive to things of this nature, then I wouldn't worry about it too terribly much.

I was surprised as the consistency of this product. I unscrewed the top to take a look of it before putting some of it on my fingers. It looks like runny jello or jelly, but it came out very well and easily. I was surprised that it wasn't runny and it wasn't thick like jello or jelly. It did drip quickly down my fingers, but not like water would. It feels about perfect for a massage, which is what the product is intended for.

It does have a slight stickiness to it, but it wasn't gross and if massaged into the skin well enough, it doesn't leave you feeling greasy or tacky. Now, I did use a bit too much on one portion of my own leg while self-testing that it did feel a little tacky for about half an hour afterward, but it soaked down into my skin and left me feeling very soft and touchable in that spot all night and into the next morning.

The liquid isn't runny, and it isn't thick so it stayed in place nicely and didn't make moving over large areas of skin hard. It was very smooth for the friction of my hands against my lady's back. It didn't drag too much, and it didn't feel like I was just rubbing water over her back. It also isn't oily as it is an oil-free massage oil---which also means no stains on sheets! Yay! Though, I always like to put an old blanket or towel down when using massage oils just in case.

I was surprised by the scent! One of the other reviews that I had read on this product (different scent/flavor) seemed very disappointed in the overall smell and taste. The other review was pleased with what they had purchased (it was a different scent/flavor than the other review). I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. It smelled like a lime jelly, really. A bit of lime jello, too. It wasn't overpowering, but it was obviously lime. The taste was pretty nice as well. It was almost like eating the liquid version of a hard lime flavored candy. It was sweet like candy, but had that liquid thickness of a thin syrup or hard candy before it hardens.

I definitely wouldn't recommend slathering this all over your toast in the morning, but it definitely would be tempting.

I loved the way this product just glided across my skin as well as my girlfriend's back! It glided on nicely without the slip and slide adventure that most massage oils give you. I was fully impressed with how well this worked. Her back did feel slightly sticky for a few minutes afterward, maybe about five to ten minutes, but we didn't fear it messing up her sheets and after a while, it did make her back feel very soft and well-moisturized. And then in the morning when we woke up, her back was still very soft to the touch, not as much as after the massage, but it was nice and soft and felt more like it had fully soaked into her skin rather than just sitting on top and getting stickier or tackier.

She's got more sensitive skin than I do, but her skin seemed to take the product very well and we were both pleased with it. The taste was pleasing for the both of us and we wouldn't mind it being on other parts of our bodies that tend to go in mouths!

For the most part though, we agreed that if a lot of the oil was used, we might have to wash it off, but it was satisfying how much it didn't make either of us feel gross.

This product was shipped as a sealed bottle in the box. It was not in any special package or totally wrapped in plastic packaging. The bottle is rather tall, but would be good for travel, though I would suggest you put it in a ziplock baggie in case it does leak. I did not experience issues with it leaking, but I'm a bit paranoid so I always pack my liquids in plastic baggies. The label on the bottle isn't obviously a massage oil. In fact, I found that unless I was close to it, I couldn't really make out the words on the label. The product just looks like a tall, skinny bottle of some lime green liquid. Could possibly be easily mistaken for a bottle of shampoo or something else.

When I took this product out of the box, I played with the bottle and held it in my hands and tossed it around quite a bit while I watched some TV shows on my laptop and it actually took me a few hours to realize that there was a small (I suppose rubber?) neon green cock ring at the flared base of the bottle. The previous reviewers didn't mention this in their reviews so I don't know if this was a new addition to the product or if they just didn't write about it in their reviews. I have no use for a cock ring, but I thought it was a nice little thing to add to the product for those who are interested in using it. It also suggests that using the product as a lubricant as well as massage oil is well and okay.

Also, after visiting the FAQ page of Swede Global, I found out that with the exception of some of their other products, they do not use perfumes in their oils. They use "naturally flavored ingredients or essential oils." In addition, the Fruity Love products are only made with naturally flavored ingredients to make them safe for oral consumption, though their website, of course, advises that they not be consumed as a regular food product. So, if you have a bad sweet tooth craving, don't go around sticking a straw in your massage oil, okay?

Overall, I definitely love this product, I wish I could own a few of the other flavors of it as well, and I'm very curious to see if Swede will come out with anything else. Their products are safe and natural and have a wonderful taste to them.
