Durex Play Pina Colada Lube Review

I received the Durex Play Pina Colada Lube as part of a bundle of Durex lubes and sex essentials directly from the company. They were sent to me free of charge, in exchange for my fair and honest reviews here at the Cara Sutra sex blog.

The Durex Play Pina Colada Lube is presented in the same style as the rest of the Durex Play range of lubes. It comes in a contoured bottle, this style containing 50ml of lubricant, with a label clearly stating the contents as well as reassuring safety certifications.

Durex Play Pina Colada Lube ReviewDurex have chosen a vivid and summery shade of yellow for the packaging of these cocktail flavoured lubricant. I’m not a massive Pina Colada fan when it comes to alcoholic beverages; my tastes have changed over the years. I find it a bit too sweet for my liking. Nevertheless, this lubricant was in my stash to test and review, so I duly set to it with an open mind.

To open you simply rip down the side seal to reveal the pump dispenser. Twist to allow the lubricant to be dispensed then one squeeze gives you about a pea sized amount of lube. If applying this lubricant to a toy or your partner, you can do this one handed although it’s easier with two.

Taste Test

Thanks to Wikipedia, I can give you the exact ingredients for a Pina Colada cocktail.

The piña colada (Spanish: piña, pineapple + colada, strained) is a sweet, rum-based cocktail made with rum, cream of coconut, and pineapple juice, usually served either blended or shaken with ice. It may be garnished with a pineapple wedge, a maraschino cherry or both. The piña colada has been the official beverage of Puerto Rico since 1978.

When using the Durex Play Pina Colada Lube I didn’t get the feeling I was sampling a well made cocktail. All it tastes of is overpoweringly sweet coconut and pineapple. Not the real flavours either, but the sweet, fake candy flavours that you’d find in a pic ‘n mix sweets/candy selection.

I actually had to have a drink to get the taste out of my mouth, it was really off putting. I’d hoped I would like it but it’s really not my cup of cocktail.

Is It Slippery?

As this is a sex lubricant, it obviously needs to have slip ‘n glide appeal as well as tasting edible and hopefully delicious as a flavoured lube. Unfortunately, if you’re after a slippery lubricant, the Durex Play Pina Colada Lube isn’t what you’re looking for. It may be sugar free but there is still that gloopy, glue like consistency that I have often experienced when using flavoured Durex lubes.

It dispenses easily enough, but once you get into actual physical contact with the lubricant between you, it soon turns too hot and sticky instead of slippery and sensual.

For a slippery lubricant from Durex, I would recommend the Durex Play Feel Water Based Lube instead.

Summary

This is my least favourite lubricant in the entire Durex Play range – of the ones I have tried anyway. I am not sure why Durex chose Pina Colada as one of their flavours, I would have thought Mojito or a cola based cocktail would have had more universal appeal.

Even leaving my own cocktail preferences out of the equation, the Durex Play Pina Colada Lube just didn’t taste very nice. I have used this with a couple of people now and on both occasions I wished I had used another flavoured lubricant. I would have preferred the recently reviewed Durex Strawberry Lube or my favourite, the Durex Cherry Lube.

That’s the oral sex feedback. When moving to penetration, this lubricant doesn’t slide as much as it needs to, just ending up quite tacky and heavy on the skin. On a plus note, it is easily washed off and doesn’t stain. It’s compatible with latex and condoms and water based. It does contains glycerine, but no parabens or aspartame.

Due to my personal distaste for this lubricant, I can only rate the Durex Play Pina Colada Lube 3/10.
