SHUNGA Toko - Lychee Lubricant 165 ml

Shunga Toko Aroma lubricants are flavoured water-based formulas designed to mimic natural lubrication. One hundred and sixty-five millilitres, a silky texture, and one claim the manufacturer makes its own: no unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth, where most flavoured lubricants leave a bitterness.

Why choose this lubricant

• No aftertaste — the manufacturer's central argument for the flavoured range.
• Water base — water-soluble, it rinses off simply and leaves no greasy film.
• Condom-friendly — the manufacturer states this, as for latex accessories.
• Silky texture — formulated to come close to natural lubrication.
• 165 ml format — a generous bottle, larger than most lubricants on the market.

How to use it

1. Patch-test a small amount on your inner wrist 24 hours before first use.
2. Apply the amount you want to your fingers, to the area or to the accessory.
3. Reapply as you go: a water base dries as it evaporates.
4. Reactivate with a little water rather than adding a fresh dose.
5. Rinse with lukewarm water, close the bottle and store it away from heat.

Care and precautions

For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes and do not apply to broken, irritated or freshly waxed skin. The formula contains glycerin, propylene glycol and sucralose: if you are prone to imbalances of the vaginal flora or to recurrent thrush, a formula without glycerin or sweetener may suit you better. Check the full ingredient list if you have a known allergy. The manufacturer states compatibility with condoms and latex accessories: even so, check your accessory's leaflet before any combined use. This product is not a contraceptive and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Close after use, keep away from heat and light, and keep out of reach of children. If you experience redness, itching or irritation, stop using it and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

Frequently asked questions

Why the emphasis on having no aftertaste?

Because that is the usual failing of flavoured lubricants. The manufacturer makes it the main argument for the Toko Aroma range.

Does it contain sugar?

It contains sucralose, a sweetener, and glycerin, which is a sugar. Worth considering if your vaginal flora is sensitive.

Is it condom-compatible?

The manufacturer says so. A water base is in any case the most versatile.

Does it need frequent reapplication?

A water base dries. A few drops of water are often enough to bring it back.

How much does the bottle hold?

One hundred and sixty-five millilitres.

SoPigalle tip: keep a glass of water within reach rather than the bottle. A water base restarts with water, and you avoid building up a layer that eventually turns tacky.
