JO H2O Juicy Cherry Burst Flavored Lubricant 1 fl Oz Travel Size

What this product is

JO H2O Juicy Cherry Burst is a cherry-flavored personal lubricant supplied in a single 1 fl oz (30 mL) travel bottle. The front of the bottle carries the JO wordmark, the H2O range name in large type, a cherry illustration and the flavor name "Cherry Burst" in red, above the words "Flavored Lubricant". That one line is the clearest statement of what the product is: a lubricant with a flavor added, sold in the smallest format the range comes in. It sits in our Lubes department alongside the rest of the System JO range.

Flavored lubricants are a distinct corner of the category. An unflavored lubricant is chosen on feel alone; a flavored one is chosen because taste is part of the picture, which is why these are usually bought in small bottles and in several flavors at once rather than in one large pump bottle. Cherry is one of the long-standing options in this line, and the 1 fl oz size is the one most people start with.

The bottle and the label

The bottle is a slim, clear cylinder with a hinged flip-top cap, roughly the proportions of a travel shampoo bottle. Because the bottle is clear and the cap is a translucent white, the contents are visible through the wall: a clear, colorless fluid with no dye, no suspended particles and no sediment. The cherry on the label is printed artwork, not a reflection of the liquid's color.

The label itself is a white panel with a red band across the shoulder. Below the flavor name, the product is described in four languages — English plus three others — which is how this range is packaged for international distribution. A short bulleted list runs vertically up the right-hand side of the panel in very small type. Those bullets are manufacturer marketing copy rather than product data, and at the resolution of the listing photograph they are not fully legible, so we have not transcribed them here.

What the listing photograph does not show is the back of the bottle. The ingredient panel, any compatibility statement, the batch or lot code and the manufacturer's address all sit on surfaces that are not in the frame. We transcribe from packaging rather than from supplier sheets, so where the packaging is not visible we leave the field blank rather than fill it in from another source. That is why the specification table below is short.

How a travel-size lubricant like this is used

Follow the directions printed on the bottle itself, which are the only directions that apply to the formula you actually receive. In general terms, a personal lubricant of this kind is dispensed from the bottle a small amount at a time and applied by hand, with more added as wanted; most people find that a surprisingly small quantity is enough, and a 1 fl oz bottle therefore goes further than its size suggests.

Store the bottle upright with the cap fully closed, at normal room temperature and out of direct sunlight. The flip-top cap is designed to be opened one-handed and to click shut, which matters more in a wash bag than it does on a bedside table. Wipe the neck of the bottle before closing it if any product has run down the side, since a flavored product left on the thread can become tacky.

A flavored product is worth a small patch test on the inside of the wrist before first use if you have sensitive skin or react to fragrances and flavorings, and it is worth reading the ingredient panel on the bottle in advance if you have a known allergy.

Who it suits

This is an adults-only product for anyone who wants a flavored lubricant in a format small enough to pack. The 1 fl oz bottle is the obvious choice in three situations: sampling a flavor before committing to a larger bottle, keeping a spare somewhere other than the bedroom, and travelling, since 30 mL sits comfortably within the volume limits airlines apply to liquids in cabin baggage. If you buy flavored lubricant in more than one flavor, the small size is also the one that lets you keep a few on the shelf at once. The rest of our Travel Size lubricants are grouped together for the same reason.

It is less suited to anyone who gets through lubricant quickly, who would be better served by a larger bottle of the same range, and to anyone who prefers an unflavored product.

Good to know

Read the bottle's own label before first use. The ingredient list, the manufacturer's compatibility guidance and any warnings are printed on the packaging and take precedence over any description, including this one. If anything on the bottle contradicts what you read here, the bottle is right and we would like to know about it.

Keep this and every product of its kind out of reach of children. Discontinue use and seek advice from a licensed healthcare professional if you notice irritation. This is a personal care product, not a contraceptive and not a medicine, and nothing about it offers protection against pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much lubricant is in the bottle?

The bottle holds 1 fl oz, which is 30 mL. That is the smallest size this range is sold in, and this listing is for one bottle.

What flavor is it?

Cherry — the label calls it "Cherry Burst" and carries a cherry illustration. It is the only flavor in this listing; other flavors in the range are sold as separate items.

Can I take this bottle in hand luggage?

Yes, at 30 mL it falls inside the 100 mL limit that most airlines and airport security schemes apply to a single container of liquid in cabin baggage. Pack it upright in your clear liquids bag with the cap closed, and check the rules for your specific route before you fly, since they vary by country.

Is it safe to use with condoms or with silicone toys?

Check the compatibility statement printed on the bottle before pairing it with either. Lubricant compatibility depends on the formula base, that information is printed on the back of the bottle, and the back of the bottle is not visible in the product photograph for this listing — so we are not going to state it for you. If in doubt, the manufacturer's own label is the authority.

How will my order be packaged?

Orders ship in plain, unbranded outer packaging with no product images or descriptive wording on the outside. The sender name on the label is a neutral business name, and nothing about the parcel indicates what is inside.
