Sex Tarts Tangy Tangerine Lube For Lovers 6 oz

What it is

Sex Tarts Tangy Tangerine Lube For Lovers is a flavoured personal lubricant supplied in a 6 fl. oz. (177 mL) squeeze tube. The tube is moulded in bright orange, and the front of the pack carries the Sex Tarts wordmark, a tangerine roundel marked "tangy tangerine", the line "Tangy Lube for Lovers", and the net contents, printed as "6 fl. oz. / 177 ml". It is an adult product sold through our Lubes range and is intended for adults 18 and over.

This is a large-format tube rather than a pocket or purse size. Lubricant tubes sold for carrying around are commonly 1 to 2 fl. oz.; at 177 mL this one holds several times that, which is the practical difference between a format you take with you and a format that lives in a bedside drawer and gets used without rationing. If you have been buying small tubes repeatedly, the 6 oz is the same idea in a size that does not need restocking every few weeks.

About the tangerine flavour

The flavour declared on this tube is tangerine, described on the pack as "tangy". Tangerine is a small, loose-skinned orange citrus — a cultivar group within the mandarin family, originally traded through the Moroccan port of Tangier, which is where the English name comes from. It is the sharper, brighter end of the orange spectrum: less of the rounded sweetness of a navel orange, more of the immediate acidity that the word "tangy" is doing on the label.

Flavoured lubricants are a long-standing category within personal care, and citrus is one of the most common flavour families in it, alongside berry, cherry and tropical blends. The flavour is there to change the sensory experience of using the product rather than to alter how it performs.

Product specifications

Every row above is taken from the face of the tube. Where a specification is not printed there, we have left it out rather than filling it in from a supplier sheet.

How to use it

Apply a small amount and add more as needed — that is how personal lubricant is used generally, and a 177 mL tube gives you plenty of room to be generous. A squeeze tube dispenses by pressure, so start with gentle pressure rather than a full squeeze until you have a feel for how freely this one flows. Replace the cap after use and store the tube at normal room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat.

Read the directions, the full ingredient declaration and any warnings printed on the tube before first use, and follow them where they differ from this general guidance. The printing on the tube is the authoritative copy and takes precedence over anything written here.

Choosing between lubricant base types

Personal lubricants fall into three broad base families, and knowing which you are buying matters more than any other single specification. This is general category background rather than a statement about this particular tube.

• Water-based formulas are the most widely sold. They rinse away with water, are generally the least likely to mark fabric, and are the family most commonly described as compatible with latex. They tend to absorb over time, so they are reapplied more often.
• Silicone-based formulas are not absorbed by the skin and so are reapplied less often. They are not water-soluble, so they need soap to wash off, and they are generally not used with silicone toys because the two can interact.
• Oil-based formulas, including natural oils and petroleum-derived ones, are the most persistent of the three, but they are also the family most associated with marking fabric, and oils are not used with latex barriers.

If barrier compatibility matters to you, check the base type and any compatibility statement printed on the packaging of whichever lubricant you buy, including this one. That declaration is on the tube itself and is the only reliable place to read it.

Who it's for

This tube suits adults who already know they like a flavoured lubricant and want more than a sample-sized amount of it. The Sex Tarts line is positioned for couples — the pack says "for Lovers" — and the 6 oz size is the one to pick when a product is in regular use rather than being tried once. Shoppers who want to sample a flavour first are usually better served by a small tube from our Travel Size selection.

It is a general-audience adult product rather than a gendered one, and it is listed in both our Women and men's sections for that reason. It is not suitable for anyone under 18.

Good to know

• Check the ingredient declaration on the tube before use if you have any known sensitivity or allergy. Discontinue use and seek advice from a healthcare professional if irritation occurs.
• Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse with water if contact occurs.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store capped, at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.
• This is a personal lubricant. It is not a contraceptive and offers no protection against pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.

Frequently asked questions

How much lubricant is in the 6 oz tube?

The tube holds 6 fl. oz., printed on the front as 6 fl. oz. / 177 ml. That is the full net contents of a single tube, which is what this listing supplies.

What flavour is Sex Tarts Tangy Tangerine?

Tangerine — the pack labels it "tangy tangerine" and carries a tangerine graphic. Tangerine is a loose-skinned citrus in the mandarin family, sharper and more acidic in character than a standard sweet orange.

Why choose the 6 oz size?

Because 177 mL is a large-format tube meant for repeated use rather than a single occasion. Pocket and purse lubricant tubes are commonly 1 to 2 fl. oz., so a 6 fl. oz. tube is the option to pick when you would rather not reorder often.

What is the lubricant made from?

The full ingredient declaration is printed on the tube itself, and we do not reproduce it here. Read that declaration before first use, particularly if you need to check it against a known allergy or sensitivity.

Is the order packaged discreetly?

Yes. Orders ship in plain outer packaging with no product imagery, brand marks or description of the contents printed on the outside.
