Flavoured Lubricants

A lubricant de sabores exists for oral sex, and that destiny conditions its entire formulation. They are almost always water-based, because it is the only one that is comfortable in the mouth, and they contain aromas and sweeteners that make them pleasant. The downside is that this ingredient profile is not always the best for prolonged internal use, and therein lies the nuance that is worth knowing.

Sugar or sweetener

flavoured lubricants sweeten in two ways. With sugars and glycerin, which give a denser texture and a rounder flavor, or with sugar-free sweeteners such as sucralose or xylitol, which achieve the same sweetness without adding sugar.

The difference matters if you are going to use the product vaginally: sugars can promote fungal infections in people prone to it. For oral use only, either works. For a product that will do both, the sugar-free version is the sensible choice.

What to look for on the label

The flavors and what to expect

Red fruits, strawberries and cherries above all, are the most sold and the most neutral in aroma. The tropical ones, banana and mango, have a more intense perfume and are not liked by everyone. Citrus fruits are more acidic and fresh. And the sweet ones, vanilla, chocolate or caramel, are the densest and the most reminiscent of a pastry product, for better or worse.

A variety pack or small formats are the economical way to find out what works before purchasing a large container.

Quantity and use

Small quantity, distributed and reapplied when necessary. Being water-based, it evaporates and thickens over time, and a little water or saliva reactivates it without the need to add more product. They are compatible with latex condoms and silicone toys, unlike oils and silicone lubricants, so they fit well in almost any combination.

A note that should be clear: edible in this context means suitable for contact with the mouth in the usual quantities, not that it is a food. It is not eaten in spoonfuls nor does it replace anything in the kitchen.

Sensitive skin and cleanliness

If you are prone to irritation, test a small amount on your forearm first and prioritize short formulas, without added perfume or parabens. It is removed with warm water, without the need for soap in most cases, and the toys are then washed with Toy Cleaners & Essentials product. Close the container tightly and store it in a cool place, because heat alters aroma and texture. Exclusive sale for people over 18 years of age.

Discreet shipping from Lace & Luna

Orders arrive in plain, unbranded packaging, with no reference to the contents on the outside, and the bank charge is just as discreet. Details are at embalaje discreto. We are a family store and when it comes to lubricants we look at the list of ingredients before the flavor on the packaging.

When to switch to a neutral one

The flavored lubricant is designed for oral sex and works very well there. For prolonged penetration, especially if there is a tendency to recurrent infections, it is sensible to change to a neutral formula without sugars, without glycerin and with moderate osmolality, which is the one that least alters the mucosa.

Having both bottles on hand solves the issue without giving up anything: the flavored one for one part of the meeting and the neutral one for the other. Both are water-based, so they are compatible with each other, with latex, and with any toy.

How to preserve it

Closed, in a cool place without direct light, and used in the months following opening. The formats with a dispenser contaminate less than those with open caps, which is a detail to take into account if the bottle is going to last a long time.

What is it compatible with?

Being water-based, it works with latex condoms and any toy, including silicone ones, which is where silicone formulas fail. It is reactivated with a few drops of water when it starts to dry, and that is the correct way to lengthen it instead of adding more product.

Frequently asked questions

Can they be used for penetration?

Yes, although those that contain sugars can promote fungal infections in regular vaginal use. For this, a sugar-free version is preferable.

Are they compatible with condoms and toys?

Yes, being water-based they are compatible with latex and silicone. It is its main advantage over silicone oils and lubricants.

Does edible mean it can be ingested?

It means suitable for contact with the mouth in the usual amounts of use. It is not a food nor is it intended to be ingested.

Why does it become sticky?

Because water evaporates. A little water or saliva restores slippage without the need to add more product.

Which one to choose if I have sensitive skin?

A short formula, without sugar, without added perfume and without parabens, testing a small amount on the forearm first.
