I've been wanting to try a System Jo lubricant for a while because they tend to come highly recommended all around. Excellent quality and texture without being too messy and so on, it just sounded like a nice brand to try. So when the chance to take a peek at a warming lubricant (something else I have had no prior experience with) I figured I would take a shot!

First off, there is something that I feel the need to warn everyone who looks into purchasing this about: It wreaks of peppermint. The product page claims that it is unscented and unflavored, but neither is very true. While the lube has no added flavor, it has the fresh sort of aftertaste a candy cane has, along with the vaguely bitter aftertaste of chemical lube. That being said, the taste was not overpowering and I personally didn't find it entirely unpleasant. Additionally, the scent does not linger and washes away with a simple wipe or gentle scrubbing.

The System JO Premium Warming Lubricant served as a very nice, smooth silicone lube. It wasn't runny in a way that would make it messy and unmanageable, and it wasn't viscous and gooey. Overall, the consistency was very even, almost satin-like. It made both manual masturbation (done with fingers/hands) and masturbation with toys incredibly simple and enjoyable with no more cleanup than would have been required if I had depended upon natural lubrication. Honestly, I'd probably use this with everything but the majority of my toys are made of silicone and are thus not safe to use with silicone lubricant.

On a downside, unfortunately, this Premium Warming Lubricant didn't really have much to offer on the warming front. On the back of my hand, under side of wrist, or on the genital area there wasn't any real warming effect. I didn't experience any numbness or anything, really no reaction at all. It was just a normal silicone lubricant that smelled like Christmas.

Lastly, I did want to mention that I really don't like the bottle mine came in. I realize that it is likely a one-off sort of deal, but I have to squeeze really hard to get a flow started and as a result it feels like I'm using a lot more of the lube than I actually am. The plastic of the pop-top cap was probably just poured into its mold poorly, but it was something frustrating I thought I'd mention.

Overall, an excellent silicone lubricant but I'm only rating it 3/5 stars because it fails to perform its proposed function: provide a warming sensation.
