Tasting Flavored Lube Blindfolded and Ranking Them: A Sensory Smackdown

Ever wonder if those wild flavored lubes taste as good as they promise to buyers? We decided to find out, gathering a group of adventurous friends for a true taste test: blindfolded, unbiased, and brutally honest. The plan was simple—taste, smell, touch, and rank every top selling flavoried lubricant we could get out hands on. The night got messy, hilarious, and surprisingly informative, earning some products 5 stars .

Why Flavored Lubes? Do They Really Make Sex Better?

Flavored lubes are everywhere—on the shelf, online, recommended in reviews, and in countless buyer comments. Still do these products actually taste amazing compared to other lubes, or is it all marketing hype? For oral sex, flavored lubricants promise to turn your partner’s body into dessert.

They’re designed to make things smoother, more flavorful, and way more fun. Plus, most are water-based, which means easy cleanup and body-safe ingredients. After play, you can rinse off quickly in the shower—no sticky residue left behind. Furthermore, the best products claim to be pH-balanced, sweet without sugar, safe for both women and men, and gentle enough for sensitive skin.

But let’s be real: anyone can say “tastes great!” What matters is the difference between what you and your partner actually try and what is advertised. Is it an oral pleasure fest or leave a weird aftertaste? Is it just a pretty bottle?

How We Tested: The Blindfolded Taste Party

Here’s how it went down: Each sample was poured into an unmarked cup, so nobody knew which flavor or brand they were tasting. Blindfolds on, the group tried each lube by taste, smell, and skin feel. Each person gave honest, sometimes hilarious feedback—no polite “mmm” if something tasted like plastic or chemicals. We scored for flavor, texture, aroma, smoothness, and overall pleasure.

Was it easy to buy? How was the price? Did anyone mention the usability Did it feel like a great product or a waste? Would we actually purchase again?

Only water based or hybrid lubes made the cut—no oil or petroleum, nothing that’d mess up your favorite toy. If it claimed to be pH-balanced, sweet, or “for women,” we wanted to know if it lived up to the marketing compared to other options.

Our focus was honest, real-world feedback from every tester—no paid reviews or hype.

What to Look For in Flavored Lubricants

• Flavor: Is it actually enjoyable, or does it have a flavor like fake candy or chemicals?

• Smell: Is it sweet, fruity, or dessert-like—or just overpowering?

• Texture: Is the lube soft, silky, easy to spread? Sticky is a dealbreaker.

• Clean up: Does it rinse off, or does it leave your skin greasy?

• Satisfaction: Did it make sex or foreplay better, or was it distracting?

• Price and quantity: Is it a good value? Did it deliver for the money?

• Reviews: Do the online reviews match our experience?

• Purchase and delivery: Was it easy to buy? Did it arrive as promised?

Safety First: What You Should Know

Before using any flavored lubricant, If you have allergies, check the ingredients—some lubes may contain traces of nuts or other allergens. Always patch test on your arm or wrist for your health. Most water-based lubes are gentle, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. All the lubes we tested were sugar-free, pH-balanced, and safe for oral and vaginal sex. Never use oil-based lube with contraceptives—it can cause breakage.

The Tasting: Real Reactions, Brutal Honesty

Strawberry-Flavored Lube Faceoff

Sensuva Natural Strawberry was up first. The flavor? Incredibly subtle, and many testers were impressed . One tester said, “It’s like kissing someone who had a berry smoothie for breakfast, but it’s hours later.” The feel was silky, no stickiness, and the smell was light and pleasant—not artificial. This one is for people who want a gentle, barely-there flavor. If you hate fake sweetness or have sensitive skin, Sensuva is a great product. No irritation, even for the most sensitive among us. But if you want big flavor. Keep reading.

The Fuck Sauce Strawberry (from the variety pack) came next. Immediately, the reactions were louder—“Oh wow,” It tasted like candy, strong and sweet but without any weird aftertaste. The texture was thicker and left a faint sticky feeling after a few minutes (likely the glycerin), but nothing awful and it washed right off. Berry fans ranked this at the top and would absolutely purchase again for flavor-driven joy. The rest of the Fuck Sauce pack was sampled later (banana, cherry, watermelon)—banana was shockingly good, cherry was sweet but not medicinal, and watermelon was juicy, not too fake.

Tangy Fruits: Peach, Orange & Cranberry

Gender X Beach Bliss was a crowd-pleaser. “I taste peach, then orange—wait, now cranberry?” said one tester. The flavor shifted, starting sweet, then citrusy, then tart. The scent was summery, not too strong. The feel was medium-thick, very slick, and rinsed clean. No one found it sticky or greasy. It’s a universal pick—never overwhelming, just a nice balance. Not the absolute favorite for anyone, but a top seller because it works for almost any couple. If you want a lube that’s yummy like a fruity cocktail, Beach Bliss delivers.

Refreshing Twist: Mint, Lime & Cucumber

Gender X Spa Day was the wild card. Blindfolded, people guessed “mint… lime… cucumber?” The strongest note was mint, giving a cooling tingle that actually lasted. “This is like spa water, or maybe a mojito,” someone joked.

Some loved the fresh, cool feeling—especially for oral sex. A couple found it “too toothpaste-y,” and one person with sensitive skin felt a mild burn, so patch test first. The feel was slick, never sticky, and it worked as massage oil too. If you love mint and want a tingly oral experience, Spa Day is a winner.

Sweet Treats: Dessert Flavors & Warming Delights

Wicked Aqua Salted Caramel was the hands-down favorite. “I can’t believe this isn’t real caramel!” went around the table. It was rich, buttery, with just enough salt to keep it from being cloying. The texture was soft, never sticky, and everyone agreed it turned oral into a decadent treat. No weird aftertaste, no stains on skin or sheets, and clean up was simple. The only complaint? The bottle emptied fast—everyone wanted more. It can double as both a massage oil and a scrumptious treat—two treats in one. If you want to make sex and foreplay entertaining and sweet, this is the top seller to buy. Five stars from everyone except the one friend who always wants fruit.

Wicked Aqua Candy Apple was also a hit, especially for people who love a mix of sweet and tart. It started like red candy, then the apple came through—one person called it “a green apple Jolly Rancher, but smoother.” The aroma was strong out of the bottle, but mild on skin. Vegan, paraben-free, and easy to clean. Some found it a bit sweet for long sessions, but candy lovers ranked it high.

Oh, and if you want to double your pleasure, try mixing flavors for a custom experience— Salted Caramel Candy Apple – OMG.

Tropical Flavored Lube Favorites: Coconut & Pineapple

JO H2O Juicy Pineapple was praised for being light, sweet, and natural—nothing artificial, just a fresh pineapple vibe. Texture is velvety and lasts through both oral and penetrative play. No sticky after-feel, and it’s latex/sex toy safe. Some testers wanted a bit more flavor punch, but everyone agreed this is a safe, reliable pick you’ll use over and over.

JO H2O Tropical Passion blended several fruits—nobody could guess which ones. “It’s like punch, but not candy-punch,” said one reviewer. The flavor was gentle, subtle, and didn’t tire the tastebuds. Texture and performance were top-notch, and it worked well mixed with Pineapple for a custom tropical treat. Great for people with different preferences ho want something that enhances but doesn’t overpower. If you’ve ever sipped a fruity drink on a Florida beach, you know exactly what it tastes like.

Woo Hoo Coconut (Hybrid) was the best for massages and long play. The flavor was light, a hint of coconut and something sweet, but never bold. That’s a good thing for all-night sessions or sensitive partners. The hybrid formula is extra slick, long-lasting, and doesn’t dry up. Cleans off easily with soap. Don’t use with silicone toys, but it’s condom-safe and pH-balanced. All testers agreed it’s a perfect “all-purpose” lube for couples—maybe not the star of the test, but the MVP for feel.

Flavored Lube Wild Cards: Watermelon

Skins Watermelon had potential—but didn’t fully deliver. While the candy-like taste was pleasant and reminded some testers of watermelon Jolly Ranchers, the flavor faded fast and lacked depth. It’s one of those lubes that smells stronger than it tastes, which was a letdown for people hoping for a bolder experience. The upside? It’s travel-friendly, easy to use, and didn’t leave a sticky mess. Still, compared to some of the other lubes in the lineup, Skins felt a little too safe—forgettable rather than exciting.

Sensuva Natural Watermelon is for the flavor minimalists. It barely whispers “fruit,” which is actually its charm. For those with ultra-sensitive skin or who just want a barely-there sweetness without any lingering aftertaste, it’s a solid go-to. There’s no irritation, no weird burning, and no mess—just a gentle glide and a hint of watermelon essence. Testers noted it’s not exciting, but it’s extremely dependable. Think of it as the unscented body lotion of flavored lubes: subtle, soothing, and always welcome in the drawer.

Chocolate?

We skipped chocolate lubes this time—they’re often oily or artificial, and none of the product links provided were chocolate. If you want chocolate made from quality materials, both Fuck Sauce and Wicked make one, but fruit and caramel seem to be the fan favorites for actual use according to online reviews.

The Final Ranking: From “Order More!” to “Just Okay”
