If you have allergy concerns, this is the stuff for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't really recommend it due to the reasons listed above. For that, I give this product only two stars. I don't feel that it deserves more. It didn't live up to its word, and to me that is a shabby product.

Pros
Sturdy bottle, Little to no allergy concern (Dermatologist tested)
Cons
Light scent (extremely), Hardly any taste, VERY greasy
This lubricant is best for someone who prefers an oily-feeling water-based lubricant. It is also for someone who likes to be let down when it comes to warming sensations that are hardly felt or noticeable. Sorry, had to add some sarcasm to this review because this product absolutely sucks in my eyes. Basically, if you like it oily, and like a hard-to-clean mess... AND don't care about scents or flavors, this stuff is for you.
Allergy concerns: None that I can think of. It is dermatologist tested and I am sensitive to most lubes. I had no rash or breakouts (eczema) with this lubricant. That is a plus side... but may be the only plus side.
This stuff pours out like Canola oil, and feels just like Canola oil. My husband suggested shaking the bottle, because some lubricants need to be shaken first... But that didn't work either. This stuff just feels oily, and really makes me think twice when I read that it is water-based. It leaves stains on panties, bed sheets, and other fabrics that require a good washing to get out. It literally just sits there on the fabric until you wash it.
I had quite the embarrassing situation when I figured it would dry up, and just put on my beach pants and walked out to the ocean. The stuff soaked through to my pants (hardly used enough to think that it might drip) and left a wet spot for the entire beach to see. People laughed and it was just awful. Not a fan!
It is very easy to pour. The bottle snaps open in the center, and then snaps shut. You don't need to squeeze because the product is so thin. It pours out all on its own. Just be careful because it comes out quickly, and you don't need a whole lot to satisfy your needs unless you like things VERY greasy. It drips faster than Canola oil, and I found that to be a downside. When I'm on bottom, most of this lubricant ends up dripping down my ass instead of lubricating my vagina like I need it to.
There is no taste to this product. Well, no GOOD taste to it. I love cinnamon, and so does my partner, and we expected a cinnamon delight... But we got very let down. There is only a hint of cinnamon... It's almost like one of those cheap cinnamon gum that loses it's flavor quickly. Imagine chewing the gum after it has lost its flavor.., that's what this tastes like.
The smell? You can hardly smell the cinnamon at all. You would have to put this stuff on your finger, and then put your finger up your nose to smell it. Well, you don't want to do that, but you have to get very close to smell it, otherwise, you'll smell nothing.
As far as lubricating - It does the job. It is oily, so even though it drips down my ass, it leaves enough greasy feeling lubricant around my vagina to get the job done. I still don't like how greasy it feels, which leads me to saying that I hate this stuff.
When it comes to washing it off in the shower... Use some good soap. I'm the type of girl who uses the Dove soap bar to get clean. Well, no soap bar is going to be enough. Get yourself some good body wash and lather things up! Otherwise you will find that you probably missed some and it will be stuck there, especially if you let it soak into your skin prior to washing. This is why it's so hard to believe that this stuff is water-based.
If I absolutely had to name some things I liked about this lubricant, I would have to say that I like the bottle. It's sturdy and closes/opens easily. It stays shut and doesn't leak. I also like the allergy-free aspect of it.
This lubricant failed to have any warming effect as some people reported. I also saw another website advertise this to warm up during use, and that just does not happen for me. This was a let down because I love warming lubricants. As a matter of fact, it is called "Warming Cinnamon Love Liquid".
This product comes inside of a black box, and inside that box is the brown bottle. The bottle is a bit shimmery, which is cute. The back of the bottle just explains that this is a product meant to enhance a woman's experience with sex. That is totally a lie! It didn't work for me.
I'm guessing the Glycerin is what makes it so slippery?
The bottle is fairly discreet and I don't see someone looking at it and immediately thinking "OH MY GOD. THAT IS LUBRICANT!" To me, it really just looks like some sort of little lotion bottle or shampoo. It's only 3.4 fl oz. so it's small enough to hide.
Since the bottle doesn't leak, and it opens and closes with no hassle, it's great for travel. You can put it in your suit case with confidence that it wont get everywhere. You do want to maybe wrap it in a towel or something soft to protect it. Although the bottle is sturdy, my very first bottle of this stuff came to me cracked in the package. This may have been a manufacturer issue because the second bottle has been dropped, tossed, and taken with us on vacation with no issues.
I really didn't enjoy this product. I dislike anything that is greasy, and when I buy something with claims of a nice scent/taste/special feature, I expect it to live up to its word. This product did nothing for me except keep me from an eczema breakout, which is all I can respect it for. I don't recommend it unless you are someone who has very sensitive skin.
Follow-up commentaryI've started to like it more1 day after original review
Since I did the review, I decided to take this stuff out and give it one more shot. It works well as a massage oil, since it's so greasy! The only issue is the mess factor, but I approve this for massage!

Wow, I've tried this and wasn't thrilled either. But it was because it was way too warming. It left me tingling and not in a good way. I did find it to be a nice flavor for oral on my dh. So totally opposite experience as you.
The bottle design is horrible. It's way to easy to make a mess with this stuff.
Thanks for the review.

Good job on the review. I agree with all of it since I tried this lubricant a few months ago. The lack of smell, taste, and warming sensation were disappointing. I thought it felt very oily and stick for a water-based lube too.
The bottle design is horrible. It's way to easy to make a mess with this stuff.
Thanks for the review.
