Nice Idea
This review is a fair as it can be from a product that I could not use to it's full potential. This was a very mild allergic reaction. I love the warming it provides, the taste is decent, but it breaks me out so I can't tell you what it feels or how well it works on other body parts. I give it a 4 because it does what it says it is going to, but I am not able to use it.

Pros
Tastes pretty good, warming sensation works well
Cons
Broke me out so could not try it on other body parts except my hand.
I was super excited for this when I ordered it, and I ordered the strawberry flavor. When I got it, I immediately opened it and tasted it off the safety seal. My first opinion of it was that it tasted a lot like Lip Smackers Strawberry (the great big sticks of them that you used to wear as a teenager). The lip balm tastes good(I personally love the lip smackers and use it to this day), but not good enough that I would want to eat it or just sit there licking the stick of lip balm.
After the initial taste and noting that I was not allergic to it from eating it I wanted to try it on my skin, a test spot to make sure it did not hurt me or break me out. I place the cap on and gently squeezed, producing a spot about the size of a half dollar, way more than I thought would come out. The lotion/lube itself has the consistency of warm maple syrup(watery, but still thicker then actual water or water based lubes). I blew it off as my own over squeezing, so I spread it all over the back of my hand. I did not feel a burn until I blew on it, that was a pleasant feeling, it actually warmed quite a bit. I liked it, so I licked the rest off (that much almost made me sick, so I would not recommend drinking a lot of it. lol). About 6 hours later I noticed a rash, it didn't hurt, itch, sting or burn. It was just a spot, (where I had spread the lotion), that was red and almost looked a little bruised. It did the same thing to my husband and everyone in the house I tried it on. They all liked the way it tasted, liked the warming sensation, and had spots on the back of their hands that looked like bruises. So I have not used it since, I am kind of scared to try it on any other spot that is more sensitive.
It is not expensive, so it is worth the buy to try. I will say before you make your decision though, we all have super sensitive skin, and have to keep to one detergent and fabric softener because between everyone's allergies to different soaps. We have to find something that works and stick to it. Allergies are fickle, I would recommend this, but with a warning that you may break out.

2 months after original review
I wish I could have used it, but I was allergic to it. It also irritated my husbands skin, so I couldn't use it on him either.
