This is a single Sliquid Naturals Swirl pillow in Blackberry Fig: one 0.17 oz foil sachet of flavoured lube, enough for a session, to try the taste before you commit to a bottle. Blackberry Fig is one of the less sugary-tasting Swirl flavours, a dark-berry note with a soft, jammy finish, and it suits people who find bright candy flavours too much.
Swirl is built on Sliquid's original Naturals H2O formula, with flavour added. The ingredient list is short: purified water, plant cellulose, cyamopsis (a guar derivative), natural flavouring with aspartame, potassium sorbate and citric acid. Sliquid lists it as free of glycerin, glycols, parabens, PEG, sorbitol, sulfates, DEA, gluten, and sugar or sugar derivatives, and it's vegan. The sweetness comes from a small amount of aspartame, so anyone who needs to avoid aspartame should choose an unflavoured lube instead.
Sliquid's aim with Swirl is to add taste rather than cover a partner's natural taste, so the flavour is light and the scent faint. Expect a mellow fruit flavour that fades as you go, rather than a strong syrup. The texture is a fairly thin, slippery gel. Because it's water-based it dries a little over time, and you can revive it with a dab of water or saliva.
Tear the pillow along the notch and squeeze a little onto your fingers or straight onto the skin. Start small: one pillow holds about a teaspoon, and the flavour is most noticeable when you don't flood the area. It works on condoms for flavoured oral sex, on dams, or directly on skin. For penetration it gives light glide, but a dedicated gel such as a plain natural lubricant will last longer during long sessions. Rinse away with warm water; it doesn't stain sheets.
Plenty of flavoured gels use glycerin as both sweetener and thickener. Glycerin tastes sweet on its own and gives a cushiony feel, but it can turn tacky as it dries and some people simply prefer to avoid it. Swirl gets its body from plant cellulose and its sweetness from aspartame instead, so it feels thinner and cleaner, with less of a sticky finish. If you like a thicker, dessert-style gel, a glycerin-based formula may suit you more.
Single pillows make sense in three situations: tasting a flavour before buying the full size, carrying lube in a wallet, bag or overnight kit without a bottle, and adding a couple of flavours to a gift. If Blackberry Fig turns out to be your favourite, the 4.2 oz Blackberry Fig bottle holds roughly 25 times as much. Want a brighter taste? Try the Green Apple pillow or the Tangerine Peach pillow.
Keep unopened sachets somewhere cool and out of direct sun, away from sharp objects in a bag that could pierce the foil. Once a pillow is opened, use it that day and throw away what's left.
