Review Round-Up: Australian-Made Lube

Australian-Made Lube of 2021I’ve always been a big supporter of buying local. After all, one of the reasons I started my blog was to help support Australian adult retailers and businesses. But over the course of the last two years, shopping local has felt less like the right thing to do, and more like a necessity. As what was once “unexpected” shipping delays becomes the norm, and more and more international retailers remove Australia from their standard shipping lists, purchasing goods from overseas no longer feels like an option for me, especially with the holiday season fast approaching. That’s part of why the opening of Faux Phallus and Darque Path, some of Australia’s first proper fantasy makers, earlier this year was so exciting. But in addition to this, there has been another, and perhaps even more vital, area of the industry that has recently saw local growth for the first time in a long time, and that is Australian-made lube. Within just the last year, four new brands have popped up around the country to ensure Australian’s aren’t without this pleasure essential, and today I’m going to be having a closer look at each of them.

Review: Lucy Lube

Lucy Lube Front of Bottle

I can’t speak for the rest of the world, but here in Australia we’ve had some pretty lengthy and intensive lockdowns over the past year and a half. In fact, I’m even in one right now, with my home of Melbourne seeming to consistently cop some of the worst of it. But while most of us have been learning the ups and downs of day drinking and watching far too many Godzilla films, some people have clearly been a little bit more productive. In addition to the recent wave of Aussie independent toy makers I discussed in my review of the Faux Phallus Agapanthus, there has also been an even bigger emergence of sexual wellness brands, particularly those that focus on lube. In the span of just a few short months, four new Australian-made lubricants have entered the picture, with three of them being based right here in Melbourne (that’s Lucy Lube, FIGR, LBDO, and Sydney’s Get Frenchie). So whilst I am planning on doing a round-up of all four soon, today I’ll be taking a closer look at one in particular, Lucy Lube!

Review: YES WB Lubricant

YES WB

While I like to test out as many sex toys as I can get my hands on, I’m a bit more picky when it comes to lubricants. I already know I love the Sliquid range, and since they have so many options available it isn’t often I feel the need to try out a new brand. But, I know that even Sliquid isn’t accessible to everyone, whether it’s because of ingredients, price, or availability in your area, and I also feel it’s part of my duty as a sex toy reviewer to test out what is essentially the companion product to almost every sex toy. So if I had to name one lubricant I’ve heard the most raving about lately and been eager to try out for myself, it’s definitely the YES WB lubricant. I’ve been following the company for a while online now, and loved their ethical and organic approach to their products. Therefore, recently when Mojoco approached me about reviewing the YES WB, I was more than glad to accept the opportunity.

Review: Wildfire All Over Pleasure Oil & Arousal Oil

Wildfire All Over Pleasure Oil & Arousal Oil

Last year I reviewed the Wildfire ‘Original’ All Over Pleasure Oil and ‘Feels Like Bliss’ Mood Mist. It was a bit of a different review for me, still sex related products, but not exclusively so. Due to this, that review has become very memorable for me, and the two products I received have become much loved in my household. Since my partner isn’t hugely into sex toys, the oil and mood mist quickly became his favourite products I’ve ever reviewed. We use them both on a weekly basis, and I’m not sure what I’d do without them now. So, when Wildfire recently contacted me about completing a new review for them, I was overjoyed. They sent me their All Over Pleasure Oil ‘All My Love’ Gift Pack, which contains the two oils that I had not previously tried, along with their IT Cooling Arousal Oil.

Review: Sliquid Swirl Tangerine Peach & Blackberry Fig

Sliquid Swirl Tangerine Peach Blackberry Fig

Ever since I started blogging I have been mentioning how much I wanted to try Sliquid’s flavoured lubricant range, Swirl. One of my first reviews was on two of their best-sellers, Sassy and Sea, and they, alongside Satin which I reviewed last year, are still my favourite lubricants. Sassy is for anything butt related, Sea is for dildos, and Satin is a fantastic in-between that also moisturises for a luxurious feel. But for activities that involve taste, I have had nothing. Of course, I have owned flavoured lubricant previously that I somewhat enjoyed, and I even raved about trying some chocolate flavoured lube that was poured over ice-cream at Sexpo last year. But none of these compared to the good things I had heard about Sliquid’s flavoured lubes. Sadly, despite my longing over the Swirl range and all the delicious sounding flavours that it includes, I hadn’t ever gotten the chance to try it. That was until recently, when one of my favourite Australian sex stores, Nikki Darling, offered me some for a review. Admittedly, Tangerine Peach and Blackberry Fig were probably not flavours I would have chosen personally, but at this point I am more than happy to try anything to get my hands on some of these bottles.

Review: Wildfire All Over Pleasure Oil & Bliss Mood Mist

Wildfire All Over Pleasure Oil and Mood Mist

This blog’s main focus is to explore my own sexual journey, and with that I like to review any products that contribute to it. Sex toys are obviously a huge focus for me, because they are one of my favourite ways to be sexual alone, as well as fantastic for enhancing partnered play. But there are many other items that can help with this, such as lingerie, lubricants, and scented-items like candles and bath bombs. So I was super excited to learn about Wildfire recently, who make a great range of products, from massage oils, to lubricants and body butters. Plus, they make all of their goods in Australia, which I always go out of my way to showcase on the blog. They were kind enough to send me two of their items for review, their All Over Pleasure Oil in Original and their Mood Mist in Feels Like Bliss, and I’ll be discussing both in this post.
