This Oral Sex Trick Made My Husband and I Crave Each Other Nonstop

I’ll admit that oral sex is one area of the bedroom I’ve always felt confident in. Honestly, I love giving it just as much as I love receiving it, and being with the same partner for over 10 years has only helped that. By now, we’ve perfected our craft—all we need is a little lube and our finely-tuned oral sex techniques to get the job done for each other.

Needless to say, using an oral sex aid was never on my radar. But when sexual wellness retailer Lovers generously sent the viral Flintts Mints my way, my curiosity was piqued. Claimed to be oral sex game-changers, I decided to put them to the test—and the results were shocking in all the best ways.

Whether you love oral sex or dabble in it occasionally, trust me when I tell you these cooling mouth essentials will transform your sex life. Ahead, everything you need to know about Flintts Mints, including what they are, what their purpose is, how to use them, and what my experience was trying them out myself.

What are Flintts Mints?

Flintts Mints are dissolvable mints primarily designed to combat dry mouth. Available in multiple flavors, each one is non-GMO, vegan, and sugar-free. Most notably, they contain Spilanthes extract, which naturally stimulates saliva production. This subsequently produces what the brand refers to as the “sparkle,” which is a tingling sensation and mouth-watering effect.

While each flavor contains the same ingredients, the amount of saliva each one produces varies. Marla Renee Stewart, MA, sexologist and Lovers’ resident sex expert, says each flavor has its own “F-strength” rating, which indicates how much sparkle it offers. For example, cool Watermelon has an F-strength of 100, which, according to Stewart, “offers a faint sparkle and short-lived, mild mouth-watering.” Meanwhile, Mint has an F-strength of 200 and provides medium sparkle and mouth-watering. Basically, the higher the F-strength, the more tingling and mouth-watering you’ll get.

Why Flintts Mints are great for oral sex

Because these mints are intended to combat dry mouth, they work especially well as oral sex enhancers. The increased saliva production acts as a natural lubricant, and the tingling sensation numbs the mouth ever-so-slightly. This makes giving and receiving oral sex more comfortable for both parties.

What’s more, Stewart says these mints also provide intriguing and unique sensations during oral sex. Like any regular mint, these also create a cooling sensation in the mouth. If you pop one before pleasuring your partner orally, they’ll likely feel that same chill on their genitals. This, in turn, can heighten the stimulation for the receiver, creating a more sensory experience. Plus, it’s a great way to lightly dip your toes into temperature play.

How to use Flintts Mints for oral sex

Although there is no “right” way to use Flintts Mints, allowing the mint to fully dissolve is key, according to the brand. Chewing the mint creates an intense, more immediate effect that can be unpleasant, especially on your first try. Likewise, you’ll also want to try to pop a mint in before you have sex if you’re able to. While you can absolutely pop one in mid-sex, doing so ahead of time will let the mint dissolve before you get to work.

My experience using Flintts Mints for oral sex

I tried Flintts Mints in three flavors: Cool Watermelon, Mint, and Strawberry Magic. My husband and I mutually agreed to start with Cool Watermelon because it had the lowest F-strength of the three. Unfortunately, this one wasn’t a hit. The flavor was decent, but the tingling was incredibly mild and didn’t make much of a difference. We needed to up the ante, so we went with Mint and its 200 F-strength next, and followed it up by trying out Strawberry Magic and its 225 F-strength.

While sparks flew with both, Mint was the jackpot. My husband and I loved the minty freshness it offered, and agreed its sparkle was incredibly pleasant and enjoyable. I felt like the mint created a “protective coating” that made performing oral sex easier. My husband loved how it felt, and I did too when the roles were reversed. Typically, I find direct clitoral stimulation, especially during oral, too intense and overwhelming. However, the mint masked that feeling, since the cooling sensation slightly numbed that delicate area. It was the perfect balance, and the orgasm it gave me was out of this world.

“Our desire for each other, combined with the effects of the mints, only heightened sensations during sex and made it unforgettable.”

What was most mindblowing about these mints, though, is how much they heightened our libidos. I don’t quite know why this happened (maybe it was the anticipation?), but my husband and I were overcome with lust immediately after popping these. We wanted to ravish one another and couldn’t keep our hands to ourselves. Better yet, our desire for each other, combined with the effects of the mints, only heightened sensations during sex and made it unforgettable.

Overall, they’ve sparked my inner sexual explorer and inspired my husband and me to keep our sex life fresh and consistent. Since using them, I’ve been more proactive in expanding my sexual wellness knowledge and finding new things to try in the bedroom. For all these reasons, Flintts mints now have a permanent spot in my bedroom, and our sex life is better for what they’ve inspired.

Should you try Flintts Mints?

As someone who never thought they’d need (or really even want) an oral sex mint, trust me when I say that these are worth changing your mind for. The physical payoff of these mints is an obvious plus. The additional saliva and tingling sensations make oral sex more enjoyable for both partners. Plus, they make switching things up, experimenting with different sensations, and overall, adding variety to your sex life easy. Whether you enjoy oral sex already or you are looking for ways to make it better, try Flintts Mints, and thank me later.
