Tara FinleyPride is back in action in Los Angeles and we couldn’t be more excited. Not only will you see us out and about ourselves, but L.A. Weekly as a whole has once again curated its annual Pride Box full of some of our favorite allied brands and products. As allies and members of the community ourselves, we’re proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds from 2022’s box will be donated directly to L.A. Pride to support this cause that we hold so dear. Here’s what this year’s box has in store!
ASTROGLIDE X
Astroglide X Silicone LiquiGel is, dare we say, the perfect glide. A revolutionary formula that combines the lightweight, ultra-slick feel of silicon liquid with the cushion, comfort and control of silicone gel. Thoughtfully designed to enhance all kinds of play, X LiquiGel is highly versatile and perfect for long-lasting romance and steamy shower vibes. This personal lubricant can be used with a partner or alone for memorable pleasure. X LiquiGel silicone-based lube stays in place with little drip making less mess and a more controlled application. Not to mention the sleek black bottle looks as sexy on your nightstand as it makes you feel.

Superbird
Superbird lives up to its slogan of “The Best Damn Tequila Cocktail, that happens to come in a can.” Using 100% pure Blue Weber agave Tequila and all-natural ingredients, Superbird has created two cocktails that’ll make you shout for joy. Handcrafted in batches then poured into individually-sealed cans (we love the prevalence of canned cocktails these days, it’s truly the miracle we have been wishing for), both the Paloma cocktail and the Superbird Free are ripe for your tasting. Their Paloma is sweetened with natural agave nectar and mixed with grapefruit juice and sparkling water to ensure there are no added sugars or artificial ingredients. Their Superbird Free is a flavorful tequila and soda made with Tequila Reposado.
