The best lubes make sex feel even more amazing. But if you want to really take playtime to the next level, we recommend trying (and tasting) the best flavored lubes that will make oral sex way better.

“It’s an easy way to hint to your partner that you want oral play in the bedroom,” says Carrie Smith, VP of Product Development Manufacturing at Hello Cake. “Trying different flavor combinations can make the ‘same old, same old’ new and fun.”

While regular lubricants provide a feel-good glide during penetration, flavored lubes help fight dry-cotton mouth and stimulate your senses. “Flavored lubes stimulate the salivary glands, so it can help extend an oral sex session,” says Sandy Vukovic, Playground’s Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer. Not to mention, there’s tons of different flavors to suit your tastebuds. Chocolate, strawberries, watermelon. The options are endless. Also, flavored lubes can dilute the taste of latex condoms and semen, according to sex therapist and sexologist Jenni Skyler, PhD.

Plus, they’re a safer way to add flavor to your bedroom. Most of the experts we spoke with recommend avoiding using chocolate or syrup for oral sex, since sugar on genitals could lead to yeast infections for vagina owners. That’s why, when finding the best flavored lubes, make sure to look for formulas that contain less-irritating, artificial ingredients like aspartame, sucralose or saccharin. Water-based lubes are the only formulas you can ingest, and our experts recommend switching to a non-flavored lube for penetrative sex.

To find the best flavored lubes worth buying, we consulted with a panel of three sex experts to help find the right formulas that taste great, aren’t irritating, and are compatible with all-sorts of sex toys and condoms. Read on for our picks.
