Not all lubes are created equal. Both for taste and usability flavoured lubes can be either a hit or a big miss. Wicked Lube range of flavoured lubes claims to be different. With flavours like Mocha Java and Salted Caramel this isn’t the cheap, sticky, sweet smelling stuff that flavoured lubes used to be in the past. I was able to taste a few lubes from their range. And I will break down the experience of each. So you don’t end up with a full bottle of flavoured lube that you can’t stand the taste of.
Basically I am putting my taste buds on the line for you dear reader… Yes, I am very brave.
But before we begin with the lube tasting, here are a few do’s and don’ts of flavoured lube.
Some Do’s And Don’ts of Flavoured Lube
-
DO
Pick a flavour that you can stand time and time again. You are getting a full bottle. If you don’t want any to go to waste I suggest picking a flavour that is slightly sweet and not to overpowering. Yes those banana caramel flavours tasted great once but are you up for eating it over and over again?

DON’T
Use flavoured lube for vaginal intercourse if you are prone to yeast infections. Glycerine is in a few lubricants. Whilst it will usually only break down into a sugar through digestion – it can still cause issues with some people. And even change the PH of the vagina which may then result in a yeast infection or another irritation.
If you’re prone to these kinds of irritations, you might want to play it safe and go for Glycerine free lubricant. If you are planning on using the lube for vaginal intercourse a spot test is recommended. The best use for flavoured lubes is during foreplay specifically for oral sex. Most flavoured lubes are water based and are safe to use with condoms and toys.

Have fun! Flavoured lube is a great introduction to the sex toy accessory game for those who are a little on the shy side. And a yummy accompaniment for those who aren’t shy and just want to try something new.
On to the taste test of Wicked Lube
This is only one woman’s opinions, the best way to really know what Wicked flavoured lube is best for you is to stop into an Adult Lifestyle Centre for your own taste test!
Vanilla Bean
The Vanilla bean is lovely (full confession, I am a vanilla freak, candles, scents I love it!) It has a beautiful aroma and starts out sweet but fades quickly, leaving only the impression of vanilla not something you will taste all day. The Wicked lube itself it a nice consistence and isn’t overly jelly like which for me at least is a nicer eating experience.
Mocha Java
Coffee lovers rave about this flavour and I can see why! After an intial hit of sweetness, a choc coffee flavour develops and fills your mouth. The best part is that while it does taste llike coffee it doesn’t leave you with coffee breath (trust me I checked.) or even really an aftertaste (none of the Wicked flavoured lubes leave you with an after taste.)
Candy Apple
OH MY GOD! This tastes exactly like the toffee apples you can buy from the supermarket! MAJOR FLASHBACKS! This lube is delicious, and has made me crave a toffee apple.
Cherry Cordial
I don’t like cherries, but I love Cherry Ripes by Cadbury. This tastes like a cherry ripe without the chocolate so I am a huge fan, although I think having this in my house would be dangerous… I would just walk around eating it, sex be damned!
Also it is worth mentioning that I have been tasting the lubes using my hands and I expected them to be very sticky but they aren’t. This is a pet peeve of mine (and many others) with flavoured lube and it is a nice change to not be left sticky.
Cinnamon Bun
I expected them to get the cinnamon flavour right but how they got it to taste like a fresh baked bun I will never get! While I am personally not a fan of cinnamon I can say that even I enjoyed this flavour.
Salted Caramel
I would put this on ice-cream! It tastes amazing and has the beautiful smoky flavour that has made salted caramel so popular. I should also mention that the entire wicked flavoured lube range is vegan! Meaning that our herbivore friends do not need to miss out on the fun.
Pomegranate
Really Really Really yummy! This lube is surprisingly fresh tasting and lighter in flavour than some of the other lubes on offer. This would be the one I would personally purchase, I think it is a flavour that I could taste again and again and still not be tired of.
Limited edition: Peppermint Cocoa
Released in time for Christmas (and this tasting) the peppermint cocoa is a subtle flavour that is giving me major Christmas flashbacks to trees and presents and family time… pretty impressive for a lube.
Final Thoughts
Personally I wasn’t a big fan of flavoured lubes, I have a disagreeable stomach and I normally prefer savoury flavours but the Wicked range has me reconsidering.
More complex flavours and the well-made lube itself makes me think it might be time to bring some flavour back into the bedroom. My only worry is that I will eat it all before I get a chance to use it how it was intended… Oh well time now to find out the 18 unbelievable ways you can make lube last.
