I've been wanting to try the new line of Climax bursts lubricants by Topco ever since they first appeared on the market. Each lube features tiny capsules suspended within the lubricant that are supposed to pop on contact, adding a little something extra to the experience. I tried the Climax Bursts Aphrodisiac Enhanced whose tiny beads contain vitamin E and natural herbal aphrodisiacs like Yohimbe and Horny Goat weed.

First of all, I just want to say that I love the packaging. After dealing with slippery fingers and slippery lids, I wondered why more lubes don't come packaged like this. Simply pop the ring up and squeeze to get the perfect amount of lube. When you're finished, just pop the ring back down to seal the bottle. So much easier to do with lube slippery fingers than screwing and unscrewing lids or trying to get a grip on flip-top containers.

I wasn't sure about the tiny micro beads. Having had bad experiences with products containing micro beads, I wasn't sure how they would work in a lube. But, the magic word turned out to be "micro". Since the beads were so tiny, they popped on contact without leaving any noticable plastic shell or residue behind. And since this lube is water-based and glycerin-free, I was able to try it out with my favorite silicone toys. While I love the silkiness of silicone lubes, I hate not being able to use them with the majority of my toys.

I don't know about the aphrodisiac effects|Climax bursts aphrodisiac enhanced review... we tried the lube in various configurations, but we didn't really notice any additional aphrodisiac effect. The lube was nice and silky and stayed slick for as long as we needed it through both vaginal and anal sex- in fact, it's one of the lubes that we reach for most frequently on our nightstand, though that's really because of the easy to use container rather than any additional oomph that it provides.
