Advantages: Yummy in small amounts, water soluble, sugar free, inexpensive.

Disadvantages: Overly chemical taste, very sweet and sticky. Better off using real cherry juice.

Overview
This is a lubricant from Durex, which is (surprisingly enough) flavoured like cherry. The website (http://www.durex.com/en-GB/Pages/default.aspx) claims that: "Play Very Cherry feels smooth, tastes sweet and is deliciously fruity. Use it wherever you like, whenever you like. And because it's totally sugar free, it's one pleasure that's also guilt free - so use as much as you like! It's water Soluble and safe to use with condoms and vibrators." This product retails at around £2.99 from Boots, Superdrug and many supermarkets nationwide.

Good points
Firstly, it does actually taste nice. Sort of like a more chemical version of cherry drops, it definitely has a very strong cherry taste. I was quite pleased when I tried a little bit after buying it. It's also in a reasonable-sized bottle for a good price, and the packaging is pretty. As said above, it's sugar free (so no weight gain, wooo!) and water soluble so it can safely be used with condoms, and easily washed away with no oily stickiness left behind. It also does the job as a lube pretty well!

Bad points
When you actually use it properly, it's disgusting. Very sweet, very strong and very heavily scented. It made me gag - a lot. It's also extremely sticky, and although it washes off easily it doesn't match the 'Feel' version for smoothness. Maybe this is just me though - it's seemed to get reasonably good reviews. Anyone want to buy a slightly used bottle off me? ... Thought not.

Summary: It's cheap so go for it anyway, it seems to get mostly good reviews so give it a try :)
