My favorite use of ID Sensation Warming Liquid is for clitoral stimulation - both with my partner and during masturbation. The directions say to apply a small amount, but in order to really appreciate the warming qualities, I always need a bit more.

This product is not a very good lubricant alone, but it can be used with another lubricant for an enhanced experience. It's water-based/latex compatible, so feel free to use it if you're using a latex condom or toy.

I also really enjoy the cinnamon-like taste, so don't be afraid to use this product before/during oral. Finally, don't use ID Sensation Warming Liquid if you're currently trying to get pregnant -- although it's not a spermicide, it can kill sperm.

When they say liquid, they mean liquid. This product is very thin; it's nearly the consistency of water but a little less runny. If I put it on my hand and tilt my hand it'll run off, but it wouldn't run through my fingers if I kept my hand cupped. It does get a bit sticky as it dries; that's a drawback, but it's also an incentive to add a bit more and "reheat."

Possibly my favorite thing about ID Sensation Warming Liquid is that it tastes and smells wonderful. Both the smell and taste are very strong which may be a con for some people. I would describe the smell as something like cinnamon and alcohol, and the taste is also reminiscent of cinnamon. These qualities are great if you're looking to add some flavor to oral sex while also giving your partner the benefits of the warming sensation. If it isn't washed off after use, the smell will linger but diminish over time.

As good as this product tastes and smells, its function as a warming liquid is a bit lacking. Although it does warm up, it takes longer than I expected to get going. It also dries easily, so it needs to be reapplied in order to stay wet and warm. Be careful, though, because too much can also make it too hot. It's tough to get this one right. Even after all the fun is over, you're left with a sticky, warm feeling. Washing is a must, so use warm water and soap.

ID Sensation Warming Liquid comes in two sizes: 1 oz. and 4 oz. I have the 1 oz. bottle, and I'm pleasantly pleased by the packaging. The cap screws on tight, and you dispense the liquid through a pop top. The pop top itself has a double-click seal to ensure that it doesn't leak.

The bottle itself is not discreet at all. It is a clear bottle with a red cap and a large label with the ID logo reading "ID Sensation Warming Liquid." You could take off the label if you're worried, but you could hold onto it because that's also where the instructions and ingredients are listed. To see these while the label is on the bottle, look through the clear back of the bottle at the back of the label. The bottle also has an expiration date printed directly on it which can be convenient.

In terms of travel, the 1 oz. option makes it travel-friendly (especially if you want to keep your lube in your carry on just in case!).

Although it's just a warming lubricant and isn't advertised as an edible/flavored lubricant, it can definitely be used as such.

My girlfriend and I bought this product because we wanted to try a warming lubricant. She experiences more of a warming sensation than I do, and I like the smell and taste better than she does. Clearly, this isn't a very consistent product, and opinions about it vary greatly.

Because we think it dries too quickly, I wouldn't use this lubricant for penetration. You would have to reapply often and that detracts from the overall experience. On the other hand, it works well for clitoral stimulation and as an added flavor for oral sex. With that said, I'm more likely to try a different product before I would re-stock on this one, but I wouldn't write it off completely.
