Climax Cooling would be perfect if this is your first experience with lubricants. You will not be disappointed.

Climax Cooling Bursts by Topco is a water-based product which contains a wonderful Vitamin E formula with intricate enriched beads that explode on and within your body, giving you a refreshing cooling sensation.


The ingredients listed on the back of this 4-ounce bottle of Climax Cooling Busts is extensive. Chemistry never has been my forte so the laundry list of ingredients have no significant meaning to me. You will notice that it is glycerin-free. Some of the ingredients that did jump out at me were; Water, Chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice,Asorbic Acid.

The bottle itself has a pop-top which makes it very easy to dispense the amount of your choice. The writing used on the bottle is hard to read due to the fact that the bottle is clear and the shades of turquoise and green in the little beads distract you from the small type. There are no specific instructions for use of Climax Cooling Bursts other then the simple direction of "apply as needed directly to skin". The only warning is the obvious "discontinue use if irritation occurs". Cooling Bursts can easily be added to a purse or carry-on bag being that it ideally sized for transport. The bottle also does not "scream" out at you so it is also on the discreet side of things.

The texture of the Cooling Burst lubrication was neither sticky or gritty. Once the tiny beads explode you will feel the cooling begin. Its cooling, almost tingling feeling, does start out slight and increases with time. Depending on how you use this product and what your personal preferences are on amount applied, it may need to be reapplied more then a few times. The nice thing about this cooling lube is that when you use it with a partner they also get to experience the sensations it produces.

For my personal experience Climax Cooling Bursts was a great choice for a first time lubricant. I shared my encounter with my husband whom seemed more than pleased with the effects that were produced.

I was surprised to the subtleness of the cooling affect when first applied, but was loving every moment of the gradually chilling experience. It felt almost as if a breeze from the Arctic was chilling me inside and out. The smoothness of the cooling formula never once interfered with our rhythmic passions.

I was still feeling the coolness afterwards, as my husband and I had our "snuggle-time". He stated that he also could feel a cool tingling for a while afterwards. The feeling only seemed to last about fifteen minutes after, but it was like a small reminder of the fun we had just had.

Since we did not know how much needed to be used, my husband dispensed a small amount, which was enough so reapplication was not needed. The amount we used, to be as precise as possible, was about slightly smaller than a marble. I was also surprised that it was not "gritty" as I have used body wash that had that effect. The lubrication felt smooth and I experienced no stickiness or tackiness afterwards.

Even though I did shower about a half hour later, it was not do to anything associated with the Cooling Bursts. It's just that I am a bit obsessive about leaving it on. As I was preparing to shower I did seem to notice that there was no signs of using this product. There were no lonely turquoise or blue beads waiting to burst, no dried out smears where I had wiped some away. This lube seemed to just absorb into my skin There was almost the feeling that I had used a moisturizer earlier in the day leaving that smooth rejuvinating feeling. I think I give credit to the aloe and Vitamin E beads for that feeling.

One of the features of the bottle that I loved was that it has a pop-top. It erased the fear of spilling on the sheets,night stand, or anything else, if accidentally tipped over. Also the bottle is made of a slightly hard plastic so if it ended up rolled over on by our bodies it would not be easily dispersed, which usually can happen with things that come in tubes or flimsy plastics. Even though I washed the sheets the next day (another obsessive deal of mine) there was no evidence of the cooling lube. I guess I was half expecting to see "dried water rings" or at the very least something in the area that I had used to wipe off with.

Another bonus is that there was no obvious smell when being used, which can be a real turn off. I mean to me I love the soft smells of candles or rose petals and not chemical or overpowering botanicals. However, if you unscrew the pop-top lid from the bottle and inhale deeply there is a slight odor. I personally think it is a cross between a weak menthol cigarette and white school glue.

My husband and I did not use this with any toys nor did we have anal. I wish I could offer up an experience with those scenarios, but I suppose that will be the goal for the follow up review. Cooling Bursts is water based so I would be comfortable saying that cleaning any toys would not be a complicated issue.

I believe Climax Cooling Bursts was a very positive experience and look forward to using it again. We also plan on trying other Climax products (maybe the warming one will be just as great). This lubrication has opened the door to many possibilities that my husband and I had not realized before. This would be the perfect introduction for any couple or single person whether it be for first time use or for ones that are more experienced with lubes.

This has become a "must have" in our home. My husband and I have used this with many encounters. Since the original review, we have graduated to using various toys with this lubricant. It has yet to fail for us. I did forget to add in the original review that it has an expiration date. It is located on the bottom of the bottle. The bottle is now about 2 months old and expires in August of 2013. We have not even used half the bottle during our experiences, but I do think that it will be in need of replacement by the time 2013 rolls around. My husband and I plan on always having one for a back-up bottle, just because the price is perfect for the product.
