Wicked Aqua Watermelon Flavored Lube 4 oz

Wicked Aqua Watermelon is a flavoured lube with a light, fruity watermelon taste, made for oral sex and the foreplay around it. It belongs to Wicked's water-based Aqua range, so it still works as an ordinary lube once things move on from oral, and it washes away with water. Choose it if you like fresh fruit flavours more than the dessert-style options in the same line, or if you want an easy-going flavour for your first bottle of anything tasting of fruit. The 4 oz size is enough to find out whether you like it without ending up with a huge bottle you never finish.

Taste and texture

Wicked aims for a light watermelon note rather than a candy-strength hit, which suits people who find most flavoured products too sugary. You notice it as soon as it touches your lips, but it doesn't build into a cloying sweetness. The gel is smooth and spreads easily, with enough body to stay on skin instead of dripping off. Because it's water-based there's no greasy coating like you get from some flavoured oils and balms, and a damp cloth clears it from skin.

Using a flavoured lube for oral

A thin layer is all you need. Dab a small amount on your lips, on your partner's skin or on a toy, then add more as you go; too much at once gives you a mouthful of gel rather than more flavour. Water-based formulas soak in and dry over time, so refresh it during longer sessions. It's also handy on fingers, on nipples during foreplay, or on a vibrator you're using alongside oral, so the taste carries through everything. If you have sensitive skin, try a little on your inner arm first and keep it away from your eyes.

Toys, condoms and dental dams

The Aqua formula contains no silicone, so it's fine on silicone toys as well as glass, metal and hard plastic. Retailers selling the Aqua flavours list them as latex-condom compatible, which makes this a good match for oral with a condom or dental dam, where covering the taste of latex is the whole point. For long penetrative sessions, an unflavoured water-based or silicone lube will usually go the distance better than a flavoured gel.

Ingredients and labels

Ingredient lists for the Aqua range have changed over time, and different retailers show different versions. If there's an ingredient you avoid, read the label on the bottle you receive rather than relying on any website. Wicked describes its Aqua flavours as vegan and paraben-free. Keep the 4 oz bottle closed, upright and out of direct sun between uses.

Picking between Aqua flavours

Watermelon is the one to choose for a light fruit flavour. For a berry taste, Aqua Strawberry is the nearest alternative, and Aqua Candy Apple is the choice if you'd like a candy-shop apple flavour instead. They share the same water-based Aqua base, so the slip feels the same and only the taste changes. Buying for a partner whose tastes you don't know yet? Fruit flavours tend to be an easier gamble than dessert ones, and watermelon is about as inoffensive as fruit gets.
