I love the products with the cooling sensations and this one claimed to double as a water-based lube, I was in! It also stated it was vitamin-E enriched so it's good for your skin. I also thought the little "bursting beads" looked pretty cool! How did it measure up?

Well, first of all for $10, you get a really nice sized bottle - 4 ounces! It should last for quite awhile. The appearance of the product in the see-through bottle is intriguing and different - a clear gel with tiny little blue and green beads.

Before using for the first time, you need to completely unscrew the lid and remove the foil seal - in the midst of passion is not a good time to deal with that. The ball at the top pulls up to dispense the product. An excellent idea. In theory. The ball is nice as it provides a larger base to hold onto so even with slippery hands, it's easy to pull up. However, (and maybe it was just my luck to get one that didn't quite live up to expectations) the ball doesn't hold itself up. It's very loose and without holding it up with one hand, it tends to drop back down to close the top just enough that it blocks the lube from coming out. A minor frustration, but still...

The product itself has absolutely NO odor. And no taste. When first using the product, it feels pretty smooth, silky and slimy in your hands and when first applied to wherever or whatever you plan to lubricate. And it really does last awhile, the length of time depending on what you use it on, how much you apply and how aggressive you are with whatever you are doing! The consistency is nice - thick enough to stay put, but not too thick.

As far as the cooling sensation, it's as good as most. Pleasant and noticeable, although it does take a little time before the sensation kicks in. Again, lasts for awhile depending on how quickly the product gets rubbed in (or off). My hubby said he felt the cooling sensation as well (and I don't believe men are as sensitive as women in that respect). The beads do not necessarily burst. They just kind of rub open and after finishing with the deed (LOL) and cleaning up, there were still a lot of green specks that didn't completely rub open and absorb.

My only real complaint is that when the slickness wears off, it gets really sticky. As in, you should have some wet wipes handy. Very handy. Unless you don't mind extra sticky sheets!

We still use this product from time to time. It's still provides a pleasant coolin sensation and works well as a lube for a short time period. However, it's not my favorite because of how sticky it gets after awhile. And the sensation isn't quite as strong as I would like it to be. Also, it seems to take a few minutes for the sensation to be really noticable. However, for the price and the nice size bottle, I would recommend giving it a try.
