Sliquid Swirl is a water based lubricant which comes in a variety of fantastic flavors. I have the Strawberry pomegranate, but it also comes in Blue raspberry, Green apple, Cherry / vanilla, Pink lemonade, and Pina colada.

This lube is great for oral, but it can also be used vaginally since it is glycerine and paraben free. Most flavoured lubricants are loaded with glycerine, and I don’t have reactions to glycerine, but other flavoured products containing glycerine make me nervous about using them internally.

Ingredients: Purified water, plant cellulose from cotton, cyamopsis (guar conditioners), strawberry and pomegranate flavoring, aspartame, potassium sorbate, citric acid.

Since it is water based, it is latex friendly, and compatible with all toy materials. It is also 100% vegan, and not tested on animals.

This lube is surprisingly thick. I was expecting a typical runny, thin as juice, lube, but the consistency is very nice. Not thick enough for anal use, but not likely to drip everywhere unless you pour too much out of the bottle. It mimics my own natural lubrication very well. It is very slick, so it works well vaginally, but will not last very long for oral play.

It doesn’t become sticky when it dries, but sometimes it leaves behind a filmy residue. The residue can be washed off with little effort, so I don’t see it as a big deal.

The scent and taste are very pleasant. It smells sweet, but the aroma is very light. I can only taste the strawberry which doesn’t bother me, but if you like pomegranate, you probably won’t be able to taste it either. It tastes like lightly flavored strawberry candy, but not in that horrible, over sugared way. The flavor doesn't last very long, so you'll probably want to reapply it.

Swirl doesn’t last as long as other water based lubricants I have, however I feel the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. This lube is very versatile for a flavoured lubricant. Not very many are safe to use internally, however this one is. Other flavoured lubes contain many ingredients and preservatives that end up making them taste horrible, but Swirl uses natural ingredients. Swirl is a good lubricant to use anywhere on the body, which is incredibly useful because you don’t have to keep changing lubricants for other purposes. This one has you covered.

The bottle arrives wrapped in a plastic bag, presumably to prevent any spills, although there is a seal located under the cap, so it shouldn’t leak. The bottle contains 4.2 oz., so depending on how much you like your flavoured lube, it should last a while.

If you left the bottle out, people will just think it is hand lotion unless they look closely at it. The label lists all the information you need to know, and it also adds that it is “formulated to last longer than most Hollywood marriages,” which isn’t entirely true, but it is a rather funny statement.

I mainly use this for vaginal lubrication, which gives me a good kick start for me to start providing my own lubrication. I have a horrible habbit of biting my nails, so more often then not, I end up tasting left over lube on my fingers. Thank goodness Sliquid Swirl doesn’t make me gag. I’ve tried other flavoured lubes that taste absolutely nothing like they were supposed to. The flavour of the strawberry pomegranate is not extremely artificial, and leaves no weird aftertaste. I wish the bottle was a little larger because I am going through it rather quickly, but I guess this also gives me the opportunity to be able to try another flavour when this runs out. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a flavoured lube that is especially handy for women.
