How can a lubricant be warming and cooling at once? The effect comes from menthol. On first contact, menthol feels cool on the skin. Once there is movement and friction, the same area starts to feel warm. Sliquid Naturals Sizzle uses food-grade menthol to produce both sensations in turn, and the maker describes it as the brand's stimulating formula. Apart from the menthol, it is a plain water-based lubricant with no glycerin, parabens, flavor or scent.
Sliquid Naturals Sizzle: cool on contact, warm with friction
Sliquid Naturals Sizzle is a water-based personal lubricant made for people who want some extra sensation. It contains food-grade menthol, which makes it feel cool when applied and warm as friction builds. The formula stays free of glycerin and parabens, and it is unflavored and unscented. This bottle holds 4.2 fl oz (124 ml).
It is water-soluble, non-staining and easy to clean up. Sliquid lists it as 100% vegan friendly, pH balanced, hypoallergenic, non-toxic and friendly to latex, rubber and plastic.
Best for: Suits couples and solo users who like a tingle and want it in a water-based lubricant that is fine for toys and latex. It is not the one to choose if menthol bothers your skin or you want no added sensation.

How to use
Test one drop on the inner arm before first use. If the menthol feels comfortable, apply a small amount to yourself, your partner or a toy. Wait a minute for the cool feel to settle before adding more, and expect warmth once you start moving. If it is too strong, rinse with plenty of water, which removes it fully.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sizzle a warming or a cooling lubricant?
Both. The food-grade menthol makes it feel cool on contact, and it then warms with friction. The maker describes the effect as warming and cooling at the same time. Sliquid calls it its stimulating formula.
Does it have a taste or smell?
It is listed as unflavored and unscented. Menthol is the only sensation ingredient, alongside purified water, plant cellulose, guar conditioners, potassium sorbate and citric acid. It is also free of glycerin and parabens.
Can I use it with condoms and silicone toys?
Sliquid lists it as friendly to latex, rubber and plastic. It is a water-based formula, which is the type recommended for silicone toys, and it cleans up with water. Rinse toys after use.
How is it different from Sliquid Spark?
Sizzle is water-based, so it rinses off with water and does not stain. Spark puts menthol into a silicone lubricant, which lasts longer and is waterproof but needs soap to remove and may stain some fabrics.
