Sex tarts - lubricant discontinued by Topco Sales - review by Bears and Cats

It's a water based, latex friendly, and toy friendly lubricant. Use it for penetration, foreplay, hand-jobs, masturbation, etc. It's probably best for male oral, as it does contain glycerin, though we've had no problems using it so far (pre-op FTM). It also has parabens so be advised. The flavor is supposed to spice things up by giving flavor to what would otherwise be slightly bland. The flavor is rather lemony like its name would suggest, but it leaves a bit of an aftertaste and has a strange aroma. Not completely unpleasant but wouldn't appeal to everyone.

Being water based, it is very fluid and smooth. In our experience, a little does go a long way. It adds ample glide where applied and doesn't dry up too fast. It pours fast so if you aren't careful it can run everywhere. Luckily, it doesn't stain so cleanup isn't a problem. It can be sticky if left to dry and requires cleaning after use, but not so much as to need a bath.

Like mentioned above, it is a flavored lube and does have a strong flavor. The flavor lasts a good while during continued oral contact but goes away if you pull away. Sadly it also has a strong aftertaste that isn't electric or lemon. It's not pleasant but you don't really notice it unless you pull away and clear your mouth. Then it's more of a soapy, nasty flavor that kind of makes you regret using it. It smells very strongly of lemony something, almost like a bathroom cleaning product. It's not bad, but it could be better. It doesn't fill the room with the smell when you open it or use it.

In our experience, this product does last. We've had it for almost a year and we still aren't down half-way. We use it for penetration as well as external use and it tends to last an entire session ranging from 10 minutes all the way up to an hour and a half. Just a bit will work fine with too much being too runny and problematic. After use it leaves a sticky feeling but it isn't overwhelming to the point of needing to bathe.

We got our bottle from a local shop so we can't say in terms of shipping, but I would like to comment on the label for the bottle. It's a heat shrunk plastic label that has SEX TARTS written on it with the flavor below the brand. It isn't very discreet but it isn't a problem with us as we are very open with all of our friends and family. Ours also had a slight tear in it that has become more pronounced after one of us picked at it thinking it was part of the price sticker. Other than that the package works. It's a flip top bottle and it doesn't leak, what more could we ask for?

Other than the slight flaws, it has been a very good lube for what we do with it. At least one of us enjoys the aroma in a weird kind of way, while the other doesn't care for the flavor. We'd say it's at least worth a try.

In our experience with this lube, we've enjoyed it. It can leave a stinging feeling during penetration (ELECTRIC lemonade), but it doesn't always happen. It can be messy, but it isn't really good sex unless there's some mess. It's sticky when we finish, but if we sweat enough there isn't too much of a problem wiping up. For one of us, it isn't so great for oral, but the other enjoys in spite of the aftertaste.
