Overview: Sliquid was founded on the idea of lubricants free from sugars (glycerine) and presaratives (parabens), neither of which are found naturally in the body and which many women and men are sensitive to.
Before I found natural lubricants such as sliquid, I used brands such as Durex which are very common and easy to obtain. However, just because lubricants are well known, this doesn't mean that they are body safe or skin kind. Therefore, since finding natural and organic lubricants I never use anything that is not on mine or my partners pubic area. I do use them on the rest of their body to simply use them up, after they have all been used up I will stick to skin safe lubricants.

Old packaging
Sliquid redesigned their packaging at the same time they introduced the new flavours and ranges, I much prefer the new packaging, it seems to suit the name more and looks more streamlined.
Many lubricants are too runny or too thick, neither of which are great, especially not for flavoured lubricants. The consistency is almost there but a little runny.
If the lubricant does start to dry up then you can add a small amount of water to moisten it up again. This is effective, however, I don't usually put that much on and then I lick it up straight away. This ability is much better used for intercourse lubricants, though you have to keep a glass of water handy.

These really are unusual flavours, which I had no previous experience of so I didn't really know what to expect. I have found other brands of flavoured lubricants to taste very artificial, so I presumed these would taste similar. However, although they taste slightly artificial, they do taste much milder and sweeter without being sickly unless in larger quantities.
The pink lemonade tastes lemons and pink grapefruit with just a little hint of fizz. It isn't an overwhelming taste but in larger quantities it does take sickly.
The strawberry pomegranate tastes of just that, though the strawberry is more of a prominent taste. The pomegranate gives it more of a sharp edge, though this seems to compliment the sweeter strawberry taste perfectly.
Both tastes are noticeable for all the right reasons and they add a new flavour to foreplay without stealing the show.
These are both water-based, non staining while being safe for toys and condoms.
Sliquid promise that their products are free of DEA, Gluten, Glycerine, Glycerol, Parabens, PEG, Propylene Gylcol, Sorbitol and Sulphates... and are always 100% Vegan friendly. All of which don't sound particularly appealing to be putting on very sensitive areas.
Conclusion: I am very pleased that I have tried these, they have become a firm favourite and earned their place in our lubricants box. When my other lubricants run out I will start replacing them with either Sliquid or Lelo lubricants and products.
