Grrltoyz Spray Lube
I have a love/hate thing going on with Grrltoyz Spray Lube.
On the one hand, it’s a spray lube! Spray! Lube! Convenience! Ease!
On the other hand, it’s a spray lube. So it’s got to be thin enough to spray out, which means it’s not all that slick or long lasting and it kind of runs a bit.
Let’s start with the details about the product itself.
Spray Lube is, as mentioned, spray lube. It’s lube, in a pump spray bottle. It comes in three flavors as well as an unflavored version. I got the strawberry flavor. What can I say? I like flavored lubes. They usually taste okay, which makes going from sex sex to oral sex kind of nice and they tend to smell good. I’m all about good scents. (I mean, I’ll always choose a scented massage oil over an unscented one, scented soap over unscented, etc)
It is a glycerin containing water based lube so it might not be the greatest for those with sensitivities. It also contains parabens. None of those things bother me overly much, though, so I’m okay with it. It’s latex condom compatible and safe for use with any and all sex toys.
The bottle is a standard pump bottle, clear plastic with a fairly discreet label, a pump top and a plastic cap. It holds 4 oz of lube. The lube is uncolored and the label matches the flavor; blue for unflavored, peach for passion fruit, pink for strawberry, red for cherry. The label does say what it is on it with big Grrltoyz text and “strawberry mist” underneath that but isn’t full of naked folks or flashing “sex lube, sex lube, sex lube” signs. I’m fairly comfy leaving it lay around.
The pump works well, a single spray dispensing about a dime sized amount of lube.
Flavor is decent; no diet aftertaste, really and it’s not overwhelming, just a bit sweet. I don’t know if I really think it tastes like strawberries or even strawberry candy but it’s not bad. Middle of the road as far as flavors in lubes goes.
I really like the convenience of the spray. I like being able to lightly coat my sex toys with a few sprays of lube and find it works excellently for clitoral play but less well for penetration or male stimulation. It’s simply too thin to give much glide and, in fact, feels a lot like female ejaculate when you try to use it vaginally – not very slippery at all, just wet.
Spraying it on a toy works best if you’re kind of fast or spray a very light layer. Spray too much and it runs right off.
Spraying directly on the body, while fun, is not very comfortable. Room temperature feels a bit cold when your partner takes aim at your vagina and fires off ten sprays of lube!
It works very, very poorly for anal use, providing no where near the amount of lubrication most use and is likely to cause pain unless your spray very, very, VERY liberally.
Overall, I like it for clitoral masturbation and for oral sex, not so fond of it for vaginal or anal sex. I”m not sure I’ll buy it again but it’s also not an utter waste of money or a failure.
One awesome thing is the bottle doesn’t leak at all. It doesn’t lock for travel and the cap pops off easily, but even if you tip it over, it doesn’t make a mess. Very nice when you tend to use lube then toss the bottle to the side!

I’ve seen a lot of grrltoyz products get kind of so-so or moderate reviews and yet I love ever one I’ve tried, so I guess the design of the line just meshes well with me. And the spray feature is definitely novel enough to get me to try it.
