When I first saw warming lubes come onto the market, I thought they sounded like a great idea. After all, who wouldn't want their naughty bits to feel warm and cozy as if snuggled up before a nice fireplace? Well, me, it turns out.

My fiancé had this lube when we first started dating, and I was thrilled to try it. And at first, it felt quite nice. However, after we got our own heat going courtesy of the friction of a nice P in the V, it quickly became uncomfortable. For me, the sensation was not that of an organic, soothing warmth; it was, in fact, very distracting and unpleasant. It felt a bit burn-ey, though not completely caustic.

In terms of the consistency, though, I really have no complaints as compared to the standard, non-warming ID varieties. It is water-based, so you can use it with silicone toys and enjoy easy clean-up. If you generally like a warming lube, this would probably suit you quite well, as it's a nice-quality product overall. However, if you don't, this one certainly isn't going to change your mind!

There are a few uses for this product, though, that seem like a good idea. Firstly, as a massage liquid. After I refused to ever again let this lube gain ingress to my lady cave, we used it for massages, and it felt quite nice in that capacity. Also, perhaps men might enjoy the warmth this lube provides during solo play? And lastly, I might recommend it to those interested in mild temperature play, as the unique blend of slight discomfort and pleasurable sexy time may be a welcome low-key sensation change. So, in summary, it's not for me; but if tingly exogenous warmth is your jam, it just might be for you.
