This water based lubricant touts its "cooling" beads, but I have to say I noticed the beads, but no cooling.

This was the first Climax lubricant I bought, and it really should have warned me off of future purchases. All of the Climax lubricants go on slick, but tend to (in my experience) begin to dry and get sticky only a few minutes later. This particular lube couldn't even last long enough for me to give my husband a hand job without reapplications.

The cooling claim also seems to be greatly overstated. I put some on my husband's penis and didn't tell him what it was supposed to do. After a few minutes I asked if he felt anything and he said no. I tried blowing on it, no dice. Later in the evening, I tried some on me and didn't feel it on my clit or my nipples. Perhaps we just got a bad bottle, but this didn't seem to cool either of us down at all.

The beads were, in theory at least, the second reason I bought this product: the idea of a self-renewing lubricant was really appealing. As stated above, though, this lube dried up pretty fast and left us sticky.

Vaginally, the lubricant function worked a little better. I think it augmented my natural wetness and that kept it from getting too sticky. The beads irritated my skin a little, but I couldn't say for sure if that's because they didn't burst, or because of some ingredient.

The sticky residue comes right off with a little soap and water, but it didn't go away on its own for me. It also makes the bottom of the bathtub or shower a little slick for a few minutes if you rinse it off in the tub.

The bottle is very functional as long as you leave it open during sex (the round head makes it very hard to open if your hands are already slick) and the gel-like thickness of the lube makes application easy. Once you've put it on, it stays where you put it. It does seem to get a little thinner when it gets warm, but not so much that it causes problems.

Looks-wise, this almost appears to be a bottle of aloe. If you turned the logo away, you could leave it in your bathroom without fear of people noticing.
