Great as an afterthought, or an antidote to a sweltering summer's eve, Quiver cubes are a blast of fun. Just pop the package in the fridge for at least two hours, open a cube (or sphere, to be technical) and have fun. The temperature may be shocking to some, but to me it felt tingly and perfect. A blindfold makes the experience sexier by far, in a sort of 9 1/2 Weeks sort of way.

As the cubes of lube melted (rather quickly) on my body, I could feel the slow dripping liquid pool on the curves of my flesh and my body was brought close to exploding in mere seconds. Try moving the cubes around as they're melting for a wet sensation anywhere. My lover traced letters as I had to guess what he was spelling. We blew the cubes over each others skin, and watched them skitter like, well, ice cubes on the kitchen floor. It was fun to play around with something simple that does not require mounds of batteries or cords.

Although they melt extremely quickly, they're fun while they last. For a real kinky shock, apply them directly to the genitals of your partner (but please warn them first!). The lube itself isn't sticky, doesn't dry fast, and I was able to use one cube to lube myself and my partner thoroughly for sex. There isn't any smell to the product, but keep from licking it.

I suppose to save money, you could use a simple ice cube; but try to segway from iceplay to intercourse and you may be disappointed. Water is a famously horrible lubricant. The advantage of the Durex Quiver lubes is the excitement of sensation play mixed with the instant access to lube if things heat up. All in all, a good investment that I'll make again.

I found them to be an ingenious burst of fun, especially during summer. We even brought them out to the pool to use on each other outside.

I don't often indulge in temperature play, but during the summer, this product is really a nice touch to sex. It's a fun idea in a neat package. Usually Durex is disappointing in the lube department but I think they got this one right for once.
